Question

Where can I find a user-guide for the awfull Text-Editor used to enter/edit these forums entries?

I am desesperate to understand how quite basic functions (just as one of many examples: how can I paste text, that I have formatted in MS Word and want to paste into a Forum Post-Entry?) can be done with the primitive and awful Text Editor used to enter/edit Forum Entries. Notice, that like many other Adobe users, I am not familiar at all with HTML and it is therefore a description of the badly named "Full Editor" that I am looking for.

Where can I find a User-Guide for this Text Editor?

My recommendation to Adobe: exercise enough  brute pressure on the developers of this primitive Text Editor to force them to provide something more reasonable, more powerful and more intuitive.

    This is a test of a few of the options in WordPerfect:

    ‒    Number one;
    ‒    Number two.


    1)    Number one again;
    2)    Number two again.

        Centred


        Right aligned


    Left aligned    Centred    Right aligned

    The listings work, unexpectedly.

    The alignments do not, expectedly since this is something like emailing. It even strips the font.

    This is less worse than expected. So it would be possible to write the whole post and insert, without going through Notepad.

    It may be different with Worst, because it is Worst.

    Copy-paste of formatted content is not supported.

    Thank You Jochem for your answer.

    I took a look at the xxxxx.ClearspaceHelp.html Webpage that you refered me to.

    I have problems to understand how that Webpage can be considered to be/contain  a "User Guide" for the Text Editor.... It contains so few information about Text Editing.  Is there really nothing better?  Based on your answer, I fear that I can not find or get better documentation from Adobe or from the Jive company about this Text Editor.

    That's par for the course.


    You'll get used to it Robert.

    Use trial and error.


    You need lots of both.


    And, when you think you've got it licked, it bites back.
