Difference between editor and preview!!

opportunitydocMember

I have been messing around with the editor for over an hour now trying to kill its formatting. I have 3 bulleted lists in my item description and it looks great in the editor.

When I preview it, each bulleted list is indented farther than the previous list, the font size and/or bold changes randomly. When I close the preview, the editor has also been changed to reflect the weird changes in the preview..... This is IE 6.

On a side note, in the editor I always select a font and size, but not the style or format. Does that affect anything?

OpportunityDoc,

Here are a couple things you can try:

1) If you are pasting from MS Word, be sure to use the "Paste from Word" button on the browser. This button has an icon with a clipboard and an "M" on it.

2) Before previewing, highlight all your text and select "Paragraph" from the format pulldown menu. This will eliminate the extra spaces that are added whenever you use the ENTER key.

3) Try using the full sized editor. I've heard reports that the full sized editor doesn't have the formatting issues like the standard one.

I hope this helps=)

Hi Mike,

Is this something we are going to have to do all the time, or is this going to get fixed ? I keep asking the question about having the option to use the old editor, but that question goes unanswered.

Can you find out for me if this could be an option please.

Thanks Carol.

I'd like the option to use the old editor also - it always worked perfectly for me, and the new one does not. I have all kinds of problems with the new editor.

BTW, I never paste from Word.

Thanks,
Diane
