Just want to give some correction about my previous comment. In WYMeditor, by default the heading 1/2/3/.../6 looks in normal black- on-white color. They look in red, only when pasting formatted text from MS WORD into any empty container in the editor panel. Pasting into nonempty container won't trigger the "red problem". And all those only happen in my Chrome 15.
If I use IE8 to test again, pasting formatted text from WORD into editor panel results in losing all structures and formatting. That is a show stopper for me. In short, WYMeditor is somewhat intangible, inconsistent. What a pity, I did love its WYSIWYM philosophy and really wanted to give it a shot. Perhaps I can save it for being my personal blog posting tool. Regards, Ray On Dec 22, 2:53 am, "Ray (a.k.a. Iceberg)" <iceb...@21cn.com> wrote: > Hi LightDot, > > Thanks for the remind.
