 I usually paste text copied from Word doc using the visual editor in the
 post page. After upgrading to WP v-3.1 the pasting process has stopped
 cleaning the <span> tags which normally contains font and style attributes
 coming from Word doc.

 After several tests I concluded (I did not find indeed) that some issue
 came bundled with WP-v3.1 in the \wp-
 includes\js\tinymce\plugins\paste\editor_plugin.js which is responsible
 for taking care of pasting process.

 For confirming this theory I have replaced the files under \wp-
 includes\js\tinymce\plugins\paste\ with the same files from a previous WP
 version. After that, the pasting process started working again. The
 cleaning process is now keeping  the HTML code perfectly clean, and the
 span tags were removed.

 It does not matter if I am pasting straight to the text or if I am using
 the Paste From Word button, the cleaning process is just working fine in
 both ways.

 Using WordPress 3.1, Customized Theme, W7 /CentOS release 5.5, FF4 / IE9 /
 Chrome10 / Opera 11  browsers
