Paste from Word button on the WYSIWYG

Our developers enabled a Paste from Word button on our WYSIWYG (which I think is TinyMCE) - it's not perfect but very helpful!

The trick is making sure my co-workers use it, and that they understand it's not just for Word. It's necessary when pasting from Outlook of course, but also works well for stripping extraneous code from content pasted from another HTML source.

One of the things I watch on a daily basis as the site manager is our /admin/content/node report. I try to take a quick peek at every page my co-workers create, watching in part for formatting errors.
