When Users do a copy & paste from Word, Outlook, or WordPad into a paragraph

When Users do a copy & paste from Word, Outlook, or WordPad into a paragraph field that is setup to accept Rich Text the HTML code of what was copied & pasted is displayed in forms and on the process dashboard. See attachment for details. Can you tell me why this is happening. This issues is causing our users to think that their forms are corrupted.

What version of Appian are you seeing this behavior in? In recent versions the XML tags are shown depending on whether or not you allow access to the clipboard when you paste (an popup with an option is displayed when pasting). Also, rich text in Forms Designer paragraph fields is not compatible with Tempo forms - consider moving to Tempo/SAIL for a range of improved features.
