Comment:

 Hey @create24, thanks for posting your first ticket!

 I can confirm this bug. When pasting that list from Word into a post, it
 removes the "prof." from the beginning of list items starting with
 "prof.". It only does this when pasting from Word, not plain text.

 It appears to be a TinyMCE bug in their Paste plugin. WordPress core
 currently uses TinyMCE version 4.6.7, however, even the later versions
 still do the same thing. I tried pasting your example list into editors
 using different versions of TinyMCE here:

 http://fiddle.tinymce.com/

 or here:

 https://codepen.io/tinymce/pen/YydQrY

 The demo editor on their homepage doesn't produce the same results, but I
 believe its also running one of their paid plugins (PowerPaste) though:
 https://www.tinymce.com/. The demo editor on the PowerPaste page doesn't
 behave the same way as the free demo editors:
 https://store.ephox.com/products/powerpaste/.

 I've reported the bug with TinyMCE. Hopefully, they will fix it and the
 version with the fix will get merged into core.
