I've commented previously on this idea, but I can't find it so I'll leave
this open so it doesn't get lost:
The access to the clipboard contents was easy in IE<7, but in IE7 by
default the user will be faced with two warnings (#89), and in the rest of
the browsers it's even harder.
The idea would be to allow the paste event to take place and compare the
snapshot of the source just before and after it happens, the difference is
the clipboard content that can be cleaned from Word rubbish, do a full-
format clean up or even convert it to plain text. Then it's a matter of
revert back to the previous undo state and insert the cleaned up code.
This would also allow more easily to use designMode to highlight the
source view.
This page has an implementation of a JS diff algorithm that could be a
base for this code: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Cacycle/diff it
includes references to other implementations that could be worth checking
if this doesn't work just as expected.
This same algorithm could be used to mark insertions or deletions in the
content.
