Perhaps limit them to pasting in text that contains only some set of
printable characters. a..z, A..Z, 0..9, and the standard punctuation
and math symbols ,.:;'"+-=><&^%... etc. If any character is found that
is not in the set then reject the text. Presumably those Word docs have
some binary info in them, or at least it looks like they contained a
lot of characters not in the standard set. Of course you'd have to take
other languages into account if you planned to allowing posting in
other than English.
