Hi Vishwanatha,

RadEditor shows the Paste dialog in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox when executing the Paste from Word command because these browsers restrict the clipboard manipulation via script. The scenario is discussed in the following documentation article:  Using the Built-in Clipboard Tools

In Figure 1, the Paste from Word tool is used and the content is cleaned and pasted directly into the RadEditor. In Figure 4, you can see how the tool acts when the browser restricts the clipboard manipulation—a dialog opens for the content to be pasted. After pressing the Paste button of the dialog, the content is again cleaned to a proper, readable HTML markup as in Figure 1.

If you want you can configure RadEditor to directly strip the content on paste via the StripFormattingOptions property as explained at Automatic On-paste Content Stripping. Another approach is to subscribe to the OnClientPasteHtrml event, check for the Paste command, and modify the clipboard content as per your project requirements.
