Derek,
The editor that is used in 1.5 of Spectra is eWebEditPro from Ektron
(www.ektron.com). It is a fairly inexpensive application to license and also
fairly easy to integrate into Spectra, even version 1.0.1. You might want to
look into it if your upgrade plans for Spectra aren't set. It specifically
handles all the noise generated when pasting from Word documents and
provides switches for cleaning up html. The html it generates is cross
browser compatible.
