I understand this requirement. > > Is there any way in XMLMind to do this? > There is no easy and safe way to implement this feature in XMLmind XML Editor. Of course, it is always possible to specialize the standard Paste command ( http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/api/com/xmlmind/xmledit/cmd/edit/Paste.html ) after reading its source code and to rebind your specialization to Ctrl-V. However, you need to be an experienced Java[tm] programmer to do this and, even in this case, it is not that simple to do it and you can easily break things. Note that having too much whitespace around pasted text is not really a problem as whitespace is automatically normalized each time a document is opened.
