Problem: Copy&Paste DocumentSizeFilter not working when pasting from Word

Question

Dear all,
I have an application (Ekit HTML Editor) that I am customizing to satisfy my needs: I need a DocumentSizeFilter to stop the users from entering too much information. The filter already works when I paste plain text from other Windows applications into the JTextPane (i.e. it recognizes the insertion and stops if too much text would be inserted). The problem is: When I do a c&p from MS Word, the DocumentSizeFilter seems not to recognize the insert (only an insertUpdate in the DocumentListener event is fired as it should) leading to an insertion of the pasted information although the text is too long.
My question is now: Do I maybe have to implement a "special" DocumentSizeFilter for the case of the insertion of HTML data (I think MS Word pastes its information to the clipboard as HTML)? Or can somebody point me in the right direction what I did oversee here.
The JTextPane contentType is: "text/HTML"
Thanks in advance

You're probably doing something wrong, because I can get this to work normally.
Have you installed the filter in the document correctly? Have you looked [java tutorials for text components|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/generaltext.html]?
Anyway, both your code and java tutorials one forgot to check 'str' for null at replace function. As describe in the API:
