When I paste text copied from MS Word using "Paste from Word" button I get nested bulleted list items despite the fact that in MS Word the list is not nested.
I can be reproduced using http://www.telerik.com/DEMOS/ASPNET/Prometheus/Editor/Examples/Default/DefaultCS.aspx demo. Just create the following document in MS Word 2007:

List:

item1;
item2;

Then copy the text and paste it using "Paste from Word" button, switch to HTML mode and inspect the content (I've manually removed extra formatting):

    
            <p> 
        
              <span>List:</span> 
        
            </p> 
        
            <p> 
        
              <span>Item 1</span> 
        
                <p> 
        
                  <span>Item 2</span> 
        
                </p> 
        
            </p>

If I paste the same text preserving Word formatting - everything is ok:

    
            <p><span>List:</span></p>  
        
            <p><span>item1;</span></p>  
        
            <p><span>item2;</span></p>

Did anyone experience this problem or have any ideas how to fix it?
