Usage

Install package

Import plugin

import '@openregion/tinymce-word-paste-plugin';

Options

paste_enable_default_filters

This option allows you to disable TinyMCE's default paste filters when set to false.

Type: Boolean

Default Value: true

Possible Values: true, false

Example: Using paste_enable_default_filters

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your html
  plugins: 'pasteword',
  menubar: 'edit',
  paste_enable_default_filters: false
});

paste_word_valid_elements

This option enables you to configure the valid_elements specific to MS Office. Word produces a lot of junk HTML, so when users paste things from Word we do extra restrictive filtering on it to remove as much of this as possible. This option enables you to specify which elements and attributes you want to include when Word contents are intercepted.

Note: To access this feature, you need to set the value of paste_enable_default_filters to "false" in your configuration.

Type: String

Example: Using paste_word_valid_elements

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: 'pasteword',
  menubar: 'edit',
  paste_word_valid_elements: 'b,strong,i,em,h1,h2'
});

paste_retain_style_properties

This option allows you to specify which styles you want to retain when pasting contents from MS Word and similar Office suite products. This option can be set to a space-separated list of CSS style names, or "all" if you want all styles to be retained.

Type: String

Example: Using paste_retain_style_properties

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your html
  plugins: 'pasteword',
  menubar: 'edit',
  paste_retain_style_properties: 'color font-size'
});

paste_convert_word_fake_lists

This option lets you disable the logic that converts list like paragraph structures into real semantic HTML lists.

Type: Boolean

Default Value: true

Possible Values: true, false

Example: Using paste_convert_word_fake_lists

tinymce.init({
  selector: 'textarea',  // change this value according to your HTML
  plugins: 'pasteword',
  menubar: 'edit',
  paste_convert_word_fake_lists: false
});
