Is it possible, when using the "Paste Plain Text" button, to have paragraphs wrapped in <p> tags rather than separated by <br><br>? I have NewLineBr set to "true" but I don't think that applies for pasting. Let me know if this is unclear or more information is needed. Thank you.

Hi Emily,
RadEditor's PastePlainText command strips all formatting from the pasted text, thus there are no paragraphs, fonts, colors, etc., only the new lines are preserved which are replaced with the corresponding HTML tag (<br />).
It is possible, however, to create a custom tool or custom content filter to provide the requested functionality. Information regarding custom tools and custom content filters is available in the following articles:

In addition, NewlineBr property default value is true and it only applies to the functionality of the Enter key in RadEditor.

Thank you for your reply. I did want to present an "argument" (as it were) in favor of wrapping paragraphs that are pasted in as plain text in "p" tags, rather than separating them with "br" tags, as presented by my manager. Here is the argument:
We encourage our clients to paste content from word processing documents such as Microsoft Word as plain text into the RAD Editor, and then perform formatting from there. However, they run into problems doing that formatting when the content pasted is not formatted as HTML paragraphs, because when they select a single line and try to align it to the center (for example) or initiate a bulleted list, the formatting command gets applied to the entire block of text that is pasted, rather than just the selected line. This is because the content that is pasted gets treated by default as a single paragraph separated by line breaks, rather than multiple paragraphs.
The only solution to this is to have the client go through and backspace, then hit enter, between each paragraph in the editor in order to "force" them to be paragraphs before initiating the additional formatting.
Does that make sense? Please let me know if I can be more clear, or if there are other solutions to the problem described above.
Thank you for your consideration.

Hi Emily,
As I said in my previous reply, it is possible to create a custom content filter to replace new lines with paragraphs but since <br/> is a self-closing tag it is impossible to distinct a "standard" new line from the end of a paragraph.
In addition, RadEditor offers the built-in functionality to strip MS Word specific tags so I would suggest you to use Paste From Word or Paste From Word, strip font instead of Paste Plain Text for such scenarios. More information on the subject is available in the following help article:
Cleaning Word Formatting
I hope this information helps.
