When I paste from Microsoft Word into a text field which supports the pasting of html, I get the font definitions pasted in as well.  This does not repro in IE or Safari.

1. Copy Text from Word
2. Paste into a text field which supports html/script

Actual Results:  
The text has been pasted in, but font definitions have been pasted in as well

Expected Results:  
no font tags pasted in...only the copied text.
