Thanks Michael. Looking at the ckeditor site, I see lots of reported
bugs/problems with regards to version 3. Is there any plan for moving to
version 4 in the future? In a business environment, cut/paste between
applications is quite often used as users need to get content from various
sources to put into a message.
Also, it seems that with IE 11, you can't cut/paste anything at all (even
plain text).
Thanks,
Aria
