Hi,

Now that I have your editor in my software I am beginning to test data. I have on version of my program that is my authoring system (entry of data) and one version that is my tutorial (display only).

In testing authoring I am pasting from word (the lastest version ) to your editor. I am finding the following.

1. When I paste I am using Garamond 12 font, once it is pasted into your editor it comes out Arial and the font is very small. Also it appears to be bold , but you menu bold indicator is not highlighted to show it is bold. The data looks bold.

2. I noticed you have a pull down that showed Header1 , Header2 , etc... I decided to test this but nothing happened. Also, eventhough you have options for Headers you do have the option of setting the text back to normal which is what I was expecting. Once a user selects header then one cannot set it back to normal.

3. On my authoring version I have set all the tabs Design , html and Preview but now when I select Preview nothing is display , it blanks out the display. When I select design and html it works. What is the purpose of preview by the way. This is maybe something that broke on your last download that I installed yesterday.


4. In my other application where I am only display the data , I set the mode Editor1.ActiveMode = EO.Web.EditorMode.Preview in code , and when I display the data , it works and I have elimated the text in the Design , html and Preview tabs but when I use it the editor does allow me to type and edit text. it is not display only.

5. By the way, there are many of us that are application software developers and VB users , I do not know nor do I want to learn java or javascript. Most of us would like to have as much capability as we can within the VB without resorting to java or javascript. Thank you for putting the last change in for us VB guys.

Thank you for all your help , I especially like the emails when you answer my post.

Please clarify where you copy from and your browser. The source may not include all the format information. If you can put the page online we can also take a look.

This is normal. These styles translated into HTML tags H1, H2, etc. You can use clear format button to clear the format, or switch to HTML view to remove the H tags.

We are not aware of this. Please provide a reproducing page.

You will need clear DesignTabButtonText and HtmlTabButtonText so that user will no longer be able to switch to these two tabs. In another word, you set ActiveMode to Preview and also need to lock user on that mode.

Server side code and client side code both have their purposes. Sometimes they can overlap and most of the time they can not replace the other. We can only implement on the server side for you if it falls into the overlapping region. For others there will be no escape to get into javascript.

Thanks

Hi

I did some more testing , it appears to me that one of the problems is that one cannot paste from Word 2007. I converted my document to word 2003 and it worked better , eventhough there are still some problems. I think it is ok to use word 2003 and not require pasting from 2007. There seems to be a lot of extra baggage with 2007
