There is a bug. Extra <p></p> are added unless there are NO paragraphs, only <br />, line breaks. Which are not paragraphs. Copy & Paste used to work as expected. Nor import of the meta data automatically from docx document properties. Extra <p></p> are inserted.
Now one has to edit out all the paragraphs using BS and do Shift Return, or edit the HTML and replace all paragraph tags, </p><p></p><p> with <br/> except there are actual carriage returns between each </p> and <p>
If you leave in paragraph tags in the body, they seem to mostly change to adding an extra blank
blah.</p>
<p>Stuff.</p>
becomes
blah.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Stuff.</p>
But this is OK
blah.<br/>
Stuff.<br/>
However it's not the same thing.
