For those pasting text to Auctiva from Microsoft Word, make sure you are using the "Paste From Word" button in the description editor.
There are two paste buttons and only the one that says "Paste from Word" when you hover over it should be used for pasting your descriptions over from Word. The button has a blue "W" on it.
Let me know if that helps things out. It should definately resolve the "extra space" issue a lot of people are having.

Hello Kevin,
I do not paste from word. I type directly into the description editor box.
I have custom templates with pre-defined font styles, text size, color etc... The editor does NOT pic up the font styles from the custom templates.
It also inserts extra html coding, creating a huge white space after the description ends. I looked at the source and it inserts 4 lines of breaks and centers for some reason. ?
It also makes huge gaps between words. When you press enter it gives you a paragraph space, rather than a line break ?
And sometimes it does not even see that you entered a paragraph and pushes the whole description into one huge mass of wording without any spacing.
Every auction I make I now have to spend at least 15 mins on, editing and messing around with the description to make it readable.
Can the programmers fix it by adding a br html code rather than a p for paragraph code, when pressing enter. That might sort out some of the issues.
Thanks
Carol.
