Hi,
I am using Rad Telerik Ajax control version 2010.2.929.35, and try copy paste from excel to editor. Preview mode is fine and Design mode formates very weird. I also tried from telerik demo site.  The above is the html which is generated from Editor after I pasted from Excel. Copy these html to Editor under Html mode and you will see the problem from design view. Our application only enable the Design view for Editor.

Hello James,

Please, see this help article: Content Area Appearance Problems.
The content area of RadEditor is styled by the following tags:

table
{
BORDER-RIGHT: #999999 1px dashed;
border-bottom: #999999 1px dashed;
}
table td
{
PADDING: 1px;
border-top: #999999 1px dashed;
BORDER-LEFT: #999999 1px dashed;
}
table th
{
PADDING: 1px;
border-top: #000000 1px dashed;
BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px dashed;
}
which change the appearance of the table elements.

You can easily override the default content appearance by setting the CssFiles property to load an empty css file or a file which does not contain the above classes.

<telerik:RadEditor ID="RadEditor1" Runat="server">
   <CssFiles>
       <telerik:EditorCssFile Value="~/empty.css" />
   </CssFiles>
</telerik:RadEditor>

Kind regards,

Hi,
I tried your suggestion, but still... When you look at the  content on Design Mode, you will see some words are repeated (I highlighted on the image) and when you click on it , very stranger behavior happened. But preview  is fine...

Hi James,

I fixed the problem very easily by setting the ContentAreaCssFile property to point to an empty css file, e.g.

<telerik:RadEditor ContentAreaCssFile="Empty.css" ID="RadEditor1" runat="server"></telerik:RadEditor>

All the best,
