Jeff: The problem is that Word adds it's own styles to the html output. FCKEditor has several different paste options. If you are using Word and want it to clean up all the embedded styles (fonts), use click on the clipboard button with the "W" on it. It will clean up all the nasty Word formatting if you click the "Remove Styles definitions" check box.
If you use the view source feature, you will see the styles Word uses - most of which aren't properly defined since you didn't paste the style sheet into the document. The method described above will strip them out.

I can take copy/paste from Word where it's a document all in one font face/color/size and I randomly get some of the text resized. The larger the document the more likely it is to happen. Then when I try to resize the text it seems like the on option in text size that should 'fix' the issue doesn't do anything but I can resize the text to the size larger or smaller. Has anyone else ever had this issue? And yes, I'm talking about an embedded text editor for the end user to use when inserting formatted text into a form.

I believe you can set the default fonts and sizing, then you can simply turn off those tools on the editor so no can play around with them. There's a lot of configuration options under the covers with FCK. It's just a matter of customizing it for your needs. I would point you to a link, but the FCK wiki is currently down. The developers are also available for support such as this. http://www.fckeditor.net/support Fairly reasonable pricing if you ask me, specially for the business world.

The HR department cuts and pastes from Word docs into it and uploads them and then when called from my app the font size gets screwy. Then when I try to go in and correct it, the small, x-small, xx-small can't correct it. It's either too large or too small. It's becoming more and more of an issue as I see it popping up more and more. On 7/27/07, John Mason <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: What type of problems are you facing with FCKeditor?

I've been using FCKeditor but it leaves a something to be desired, and seems like even more to be desired the more I use it. ------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Sponsor - Figleaf Software To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by FusionLink ------------------------------------
