A rich text editor that can remove Microsoft Word formatting?

I am creating a website (CakePHP) with an admin section that allows me to edit text data for some of the data entered. I am currently using TinyMCE, but I'm not sure if there is a better tool to work, given some of the requirements (or at least the very very very very good ones) of the client.

Ideally, if the user has to cut and paste content from Microsoft Word, this will automatically lose formatting and will be pasted as plain text. Can TinyMCE format stripes from all nested text since it is pasted? Or is there another rich text editor that is especially good at this? Or option three?

Many thanks!

We use the "pastetext" and "pasteword" options in TinyMCE (to give users the option to insert text messages or try to use all formatting), and this works very well.

I am using CkeEditor. Here's an assistant for this:
