There’s a well-documented bug regarding copy and paste between Microsoft Word 2008 and Adobe Dreamweaver CS3. Unfortunately, pasting into Dreamweaver’s WYSIWYG mode doesn’t generate the simple XHTML markup as it has in the past.

Personally, I can’t deal with the nasty markup Word generates when saving to HTML. No official fix has been released, but I’ve found a temporary solution–paste Word content into an HTML e-mail draft of Microsoft Entourage 2008. Then copy and paste that into Dreamweaver CS3. I’m getting a few non-breaking spaces and a few <u> tags, but otherwise, this works much better.
