Hi Krishnakanth,

In the upcoming Q1 2009 "Futures" release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX, the OnClientPasteHtml event of RadEditor will be fired when the onpaste browser event is executed. This will allow the developer to obtain and modify / clean only the pasted, but not the whole content inside the editor.

Here is a sample example that demonstrates how to attach to the Paste command:

<script type="text/javascript">
function OnClientPasteHtml(sender, args)
{
    var commandName = args.get_commandName();
    var value = args.get_value(); //this is the pasted content
    if (commandName == "Paste")
    {
           alert("original pasted content: " + value);
            var newContent = "modified content"; //write here a regular expression that will strip the <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, etc tags
            alert("modified pasted content" + newContent);
            args.set_value(newContent);  //insert the modified content in the editor
     }
}
</script>
<telerik:RadEditor runat="server"
    OnClientPasteHtml="OnClientPasteHtml"
    ImageManager-ViewPaths="~/"
    ID="RadEditor1">
</telerik:RadEditor>

The onpaste event will be executed only when the StripFormattingOptions property is not set to NoneSupressCleanMessage, because then the editor does not execute any code to handle the pasted content and it is pasted without modifications by the browser itself.
