Clean up ALL of the microsoft styling stuff and it will work fine.

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

admin built in html editor does not allow paste (I see popup alert).

So you can use WordPress html editor, it can paste Word format text and remove the styling stuff, then you can copy the source code and paste to zc admin html editor.

Hi Catapolt

your issue is caused by all the microsoft "additional code", that comes along with anything you cut and paste our of MS Word

What html editor do you have on zencart as ckeditor(in the free downloads section) has a msword cleaner that will clean the extraneous ms codes off it, you just need to click the little icon with a clipboard and a "w" on it
