Input Format
Most likely this is your Input Format stripping out those HTML tags, and has nothing to do with TinyMCE actually.
If that's the case, go to Administer > Site configuration > Input formats and click the "configure" link next to Filtered HTML. On the following page click the "Configure" tab. The direct path is: admin/settings/filters/1/configure
In the Allowed HTML tags setting add the following in place of what is currently there:
<a> <em> <i> <strong> <b> <u> <cite> <code> <ul> <ol> <li> <dl> <dt> <dd> <p> <br> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <div> <span> <blockquote> <img>You can add additional tags if you wish - these are just the ones I personally allow in Filtered HTML.
Return to the page you were editing with TinyMCE. The HTML should now be allowed and it will display as intended. If not, let me know and I'll try to help you figure it out from there.
If you're directly pasting in HTML from another site, I'd suggest turning off TinyMCE until you're done bringing in the content (or at least paste into the HTML button, which you can enable in TinyMCE's button settings). Paste in the content to the regular textarea, with its HTML formatting. When you turn TinyMCE on later it will see the HTML and render it correctly. You might want to clean/tidy up the HTML before importing it to your site (e.g. do a bit of search and replace if needed to remove tags you "don't" want to carry over.

I just did some testing,
I just did some testing, pasting things into TinyMCE. It should "work" to paste in things you copy off the web/rendered view of a website (e.g. not from the site's source). It works reasonably well, but do so carefully. It may miss a few things depending on what kind of tags/formatting is involved. I successfully copy/pasted things like ordered and unordered lists directly from a website (not source). With more complex formatting I'm not sure what will happen. Basically, I'd say test the type of tags you're using first and if you see you're never losing the formatting you want, copy/pasting from the web is ok.

I tried Filtered HTML and FULL HTML. I tried copying data with bullet from microsoft word, Open Office, DReamweaver and even from different websites. It snot showing the bullets. Then i tried coing in html format still the bullets are not working . Is it because of my server settings. But i think tiny mce have nothing to do with servers. Please help ...

I'm out of ideas at this
I'm out of ideas at this point. If you're willing to trust me, I'd be happy to login to your site and have a look, and fix it if possible. If so, please temporarily change your admin password and send me the details through my Drupal contact form. You can see my record on my Drupal profile page, and decide if you'd like to do this.

Hi, Thanks for your concern
Hi,
One think i need to ask you. When i changed the theme into garland everything is working fine. But if i put the theme which i bought its not working. I think its a problem with the template . I read about this Multiflex37. But i didnt understand what it is. and the search resulted me to change the css files . Do u have any idea about it. Anyways i will ask my system admin to make some arrangements to access it. Coz currently i also dont have accesss to go to test server and edit completely. So i will ask my admin guy to set up it and inform u tomorrow. I am really glad that you are so concerned about its. Thanks a lot
