I am using CE 6 have set BreakElement to "Br". I also have the editor automatically clean word formatting on paste. When typing text in the editor and hitting return, a br element is created and the text appears normally, but when pasting text with hard returns, the elements are wrapped in a p element and appear to have an extra line between them.

 

I tried pasting the same text into the example editor at http://www.cutesoft.net/asp/oncarriagereturn.asp and the pasted text appears wrapped in the p tags but there is no extra line. Does anyone have an idea about how to get this behvaior? Alternatively, I would like hard returns to be converted to a br element on paste.

Add the following code into your style sheet:

 

p{margin:0}

Thanks for the help. Adding that css did remove the extra line, but I guess that this solution is not an option for me. The users are not comfortable with editing css, and some p elements do need a margin.

 

Is there a way to convert hard returns to a br element on paste?

You need to set the following property to PasteText.

 

Editor.EditorOnPaste Property

Specifies the manner in which the editor handles pasted text.
