    Hey guys. So, I have a channel with a field set to Textarea (Rich Text). This is great, because my colleagues can just type without having to think about anything, and EE turns it into p tags for them.

    The problem? This only seems to work if you type all of the text into the entry yourself.

    If you copy the text from somewhere else and paste it into this field is does not automatically put p tags around it.

    Even bigger problem? We used Datagrab to import over 1200 entries into our [huge] site, and none of them are formatted.

    Is there some way to tell EE go to back through every entry and apply whatever standard formatting it would’ve if the text were typed by hand into the field?
