How cool is that? All you need to do is Press alt-shift-v (Firefox) or alt-v (IE) and behold when on the Write Post screen of your WordPress Admin.

Two of the new buttons are “Paste as Plain Text” and “Paste from Word.” Nice for those who use such things. I like the custom character thing too. Now I can easily add ∞ whenever I need it…
