 Using my Excel file did it work when pasting into a new post?

 Can you post the HTML source of your Excel file so we can check if the
 'native' generated source is different.

 in Firefox.
 Is it the same result with each browser when pasting into the TinyMCE
 demo? http://www.tinymce.com/tryit/basic.php

 I just disabled the 'paste' plugin the same way as above and when pasting
 from my Excel file and per these results we want to keep the 'paste'
 plugin enabled to strip the extra formatting but find out what is
 different and why it only works with Firefox on a Mac.
