Hi, If you want to build emails or edit different types of text files that are kept server side, the Ace editor embedded in a web area is a better library than Tiny MCE. They seem to be shooting for a web implementation of Sublime Text. There are a ton of customizable features, and it’s nicely

There are lots of Javascript word processing libraries available. Database/application integration and programmability is key to 4DWrite's value. Has anyone tried using callbacks in a web area hosting a Javascript word processor to do mail merge? I haven't tried, so I don't know how feasible it

We are creating a document-building system using WritePro. It creates data-based documents like catalogues, price lists, directories etc. - something that our software currently does by creating tagged files for importing into InDesign, QuarkXPress, or Word. Currently there are two major features

Thanks Jim. I will take a look at the component. It looks interesting. I was aware if the blog entry, but my point in that regard is why. It’s great that the developer can create their own user interface, but shouldn’t 4D Write Pro have a built in user interface? At least that is what I expected
