    Flintstone,
     
    Here is the origianl code from Word:
      
    1. <strong>  
    2. <h1 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB"><u><font color="#000000" size="7" face="Times New Roman">  
    3. <h1 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB"><u><font color="#000000" size="7" face="Times New Roman">  
    4. <h1 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB"><u><font color="#000000" size="7" face="Times New Roman">  
    5. <h1 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB"><u><font color="#000000" size="7" face="Times New Roman">This is some text</font></u></span></h1>  
    6. <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p><font size="2">&nbsp;</font></o:p></span></p>  
    7. <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p><font size="2">&nbsp;</font></o:p></span></p>  
    8. <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: blue" lang="EN-GB"><font size="2">And this too<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>  
    9. <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p><font size="2">&nbsp;</font></o:p></span></p>  
    10. <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><font size="2">Hehe</font></span></p>  
    11. </font></u></span></h1>  
    12. </font></u></span></h1>  
    13. </font></u></span></h1>  
    14. </strong>  

     
    If you use the PasteWord funtion  of cute editor,  here is the result:
     
    1. <strong>  
    2. <h1 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB"><u><font color="#000000" size="7" face="Times New Roman">  
    3. <h1 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB"><u><font color="#000000" size="7" face="Times New Roman">  
    4. <h1 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB"><u><font color="#000000" size="7" face="Times New Roman">  
    5. <h1 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span lang="EN-GB"><u><font color="#000000" size="7" face="Times New Roman">  
    6. <h1><u>This is some text</u></h1>  
    7. <p>&nbsp;</p>  
    8. <p>&nbsp;</p>  
    9. <p><span style="color: blue">And this too</span></p>  
    10. <p>&nbsp;</p>  
    11. <p>Hehe</p>  
    12. </font></u></span></h1>  
    13. </font></u></span></h1>  
    14. </font></u></span></h1>  
    15. </font></u></span></h1>  
    16. </strong>  

    Can you explain what's wrong with the above conversion?

    Sure, if you think that the word source you posted is correct then maybe that is one part of the problem ... open the file in Word and you can easily see the differences.
     
    1) The font style I used for "THIS IS SOME TEXT" is "Algerian" (standard Windows font) ... the font name "Algerian" is not mentioned in the original Word source that you have posted, "Times New Roman" is used instead - there must be an issue with the way you are obtaining the source.
     
    2) If you paste the text into Firefox you get a different result than IE ... "THIS IS SOME TEXT" is no longer underlined and it is "Times New Roman" instead of "Algerian"
     
    We have received a lot of complaints from our customers about this issue.
