Removing Word Formatting

[Canman2005]

Hi all

 

I've recently built a simple CMS system with a textarea that the user can use to bolden text etc.

 

If you type directly into the box and then apply styling such as "bold", it works fine. The problem is that when you paste text from Microsoft Word, it seems to take all the MS word formatting, which really screws the page up and changes all the styling.

 

Does anyone know of a script which can clean up the word formatting and remove all the tags word might have added and then insert the new cleaned up text?

 

Any help would be great

 

Thanks
