Pasting from Word into Manila edit box

[Lawrence Lee]

Dan Schmit passed along this site/tool that cleans up Word documents:

http://frontier.userland.com/discuss/msgReader$12657?mode=topic

Or if you aren't comfortable posting your information to a 3rd party site,
you can save the Word document to disk as a "Web Page, Filtered" in the
File->Save As command.

I'll make a note of this issue in our bug tracking database.
