2009 2008 – word passes width=”63” and CKEditor changes it to 63px – wide column == words fit == not a bug.
Line gap is huge – depends how browser sees paragraph tag. This can be styled with CSS - not a bug.
Line gap is huge – the fact that those paragraphs don’t get centered (except Webkit) may look like a bug but again Word gives no alignment information to those browsers - not a bug.
Smaller Times New 10 style – Latest CKEditor recognizes font sizes – not a bug
Border line disappeared – border is visible but not always black - happens in IE6 and IE7 but those browsers don't get any information on border color - not a bug.
Anyway:
In all cases, the editor privileges semantics over formatting, so the end results will never look like the original.
CKEditor makes it best to translate the information send from Word through the clipboard and many times it needs to come to an agreement. In those cases we prioritize semantics instead of formatting.
