8594	Strange paste results when source is Excel	oiha		"I have tested pasting from Excel either directly or through Word, and there are differences in visual expression and/or html code in most cases. It is particularly disturbing that there are differences between keystroke CTRL-V and using the Paste button.

The source for the test was a simple Excel 2010 spreadsheet with a 2x2 table where 2 cells had background color and all cells had border.

The result as witnessed in source-mode is supplied.

In neither case did the outside border survive. For direct pasting all methods are different even though paste buttons give the same visual result. Using Word as an intermediary gave the best result and paste buttons even gave identical results. There was still a visual difference between paste button and CTRL-V that obviously was refledted in the source code.

It seems like the methods are supported by separate code and that the code is not aligned.

There is also a question whether the documentation strongly enough emphasizes the importance of using Word as an intermediary to align text coding for paste operations.

Also: I set the two config flags to false to avoid removing font and style formatting, and removed cache."	Bug	closed	Normal		Plugin : Paste from Word	3.0	duplicate
