    The post is in this thread, by user named Duckjohn.


    In admin role, I can't edit it out.  Do you know how it got there, how I can make sure it doesn't happen again and how I can remove it from his post?

    This is what it says:
    EDIT: Removed

    I had to remove whatever it was that you entered.

    The content looked like this:
    <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband


    It looks like your user tried to copy directly from Microsoft Word.

    What happens when you try to edit the post? Are you able to edit it at all?

    No, when I open his post to edit it, that content isn't there.

    Actually, I can edit it in HTML mode.

    So if someone copies from Word will it always post like that or is that just a random issue?

    When they copy and paste straight from Word, they are also getting all the hidden mark-up that Word adds. If you are using the Telerik Rad Editor, it has a special "Paste From Word" function that cleans up the input.

    The easiest way to resolve the issue, would be to turn off HTML input. Otherwise you will have to train your users on how to copy and paste correctly.
