Hi Baileyjl,

Thank you post the issue to asp.net forum.

As we all know the HtmlEditorExtender depend on its handler assembly "sanitizer" encode the text of textbox.

If you want the content copied from word showing as its style please try use the "Server.HtmlDecode" method like below.

 <div>
        <asp:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ToolkitScriptManager>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" TextMode="MultiLine" Rows="20" Width="467px"></asp:TextBox>
        <asp:HtmlEditorExtender ID="HtmlEditorExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="TextBox1" DisplaySourceTab="true" ></asp:HtmlEditorExtender>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click" />
</div>

Code Behind:

  protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Response.Write(Server.HtmlDecode(TextBox1.Text));
            TextBox1.Text = Server.HtmlDecode(TextBox1.Text);
        }

And this is a know issue, you can check it from below link. Thanks.
