How to default the font/size when copying from Word into RTE field.
Hello,
I have multiple RTE fields in our application. Users will be copying text from Word documents into the RTE fields. User want the font and size defaulted to 'Times New Roman' and 12pt.
The defaulting has to be done instantly when he copies the text. I have tried different approaches but couldn't find a way out.
I have checked PDN, found articles where the dropdown is getting defaulted. Again user has to select the text and change the font/size. But I want the defaulting to happen as soon the text is copied in the RTE field.

@Bharath.Suntigikar I tried the CSS approach. Its defaulting only when I type any text in the RTE field. But when copy/paste from Word its retaining the font/size of the word.

@Vivek17 Would using plain text entry work instead, then just annotate with the font and size html tags ? Or do you really need the other RTE functions. If you need the RTE other features you may also leverage a custom plugin to set the size and font family on paste. Take a look at the page https://docs.pega.com/adding-plug-ins-rich-text-editor - you then need to write a javascript function to modify the input
inside the init : function (editor) {} code block you will need something like
function updateUserInput() {
var userInputFromRTE=editor.getData()
// javascript to do the string manipulation for font size modification or whatever else is needed
editor.setData(myUpdatedUserInput);
}
editor.on('change', updateUserInput);
