Clean MS Word Formatting on Page Load and on Submit

To strip MS Word formatting from content at run-time you can use the RadEditor client-side fire() method to execute RadEditor commands.

Stripping MS Word Formatting On Load

The example below demonstrates stripping out Word formatting when the RadEditor is first loaded:

ASP.NET

<script type="text/javascript">
	function OnClientLoad(editor, args){    
		editor.fire("SelectAll");    
		editor.fire("FormatStripper", {value : "WORD"}); //strips the MS Word formatting
	}
</script>

<telerik:RadEditor RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" ID="RadEditor1">
	<Content>    
		<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></p>       
		<p class=MsoNormal><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND: red; COLOR: #ff9900; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-highlight: red">Sample MS Word content</span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #ff9900; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
	</Content>
</telerik:RadEditor>

Cleaning Word Formatting on Page Submission

To strip the MS Word formatting when submitting the content, hook up a client-side OnClientLoad event handler and define a function for the editor's add_submit() function. The example below selects all the text in the RadEditor, strips the Word formatting, then displays the HTML contents to an alert dialog.

ASP.NET

<script type="text/javascript">
	function OnClientLoad(editor, args)
	{
		editor.add_submit(function ()
		{
			editor.fire("SelectAll");
			editor.fire("FormatStripper", { value: "WORD" });
			alert(editor.get_html());
		});
	}
</script>
<telerik:RadEditor RenderMode="Lightweight" runat="server" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad" ID="RadEditor1">
	<Content>
		<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">  </p>       
		<p class=MsoNormal><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BACKGROUND: red; COLOR: #ff9900; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-highlight: red">Sampe MS Word content</span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: #ff9900; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p></span></b></p></span></span>          
	</Content>
</telerik:RadEditor>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" />
