WYSIWYG Copy-and-Paste from Word 2007 creates garbled output and kicks off Macro Engine

XMLWordPrintable

      Using Firefox 3.0.3. Open a new Confluence page or comment. Open a MS Word 2007 document. Copy all. Then Paste into the Rich Text editor in Confluence. You will find that garbled metadata appears in the saved page. The metadata contains lots of "Unknown macro:

      {mso-level-number-format}

      " or similar comments. (Please see Screenshots.)

      Then the Confluence 2.7.x server appears to lock up corresponding with approximately the same timing.
