I have the same problem.  When I paste HTML formatted text and have the editor text saved to a database, it returns with differently formatted html.  This is especially problematic with links <a href> tags without terminating </a> tags, tables, etc.  Is there something we need to change in how we set the editor text value or a different property we can set so instead of saying cuteeditor.text = database.result we set it to say cuteeditor.htmltext = database.result?  I want the user to be able to keep the formatting no matter where it was pasted from (Outlook, Word, Internet)--thanks!
