ok. Tell ya what. If you do see the gibberish again, send me both the Word document, and the html code. We can do some good testing that way.

Who loves this stuff, can ya tell?

y'all jinxed me!!!!!

I am on my final, 20th, review, trying to post while kids are napping, and all that new stuff is coming up!

It wouldn't let me put the info from the company (too long a text to allow italics) .....

that I can live with, though the review looks more boring and "plain" -- but I went into the HTML version option and just hand typed it in - -and it kept it fine.

but all those extra spaces between the paragraphs are annoying :( I tried deleting all the extra "br" codes but they won't stay gone ..... since I need the review published "now" I just published it and left a note in the comments explaining why it looks wrong.

I just posted my first review using the new editor. It really wasn't bad and didn't take me any longer than the old one.

Maybe it was a fluke, but the only problem I had was with the paste from MW. For some reason it kept trying to copy email addresses that I had copied and pasted previously. I just went back to my old way of select all/copy in MW and then pasted.

I did go back and try to respace between my paragraphs, but it just kept wanting to leave double spaces, so I left it alone.

I was very careful when typing into MW to make sure I used the bold and italics buttons there, everything copied just as it should have.

If I can do it anyone can!!

I spent twenty minutes or so trying to update an old review. After fishing through the html source code for a while and finding nothing wrong; I just pasted it into Word and did all the italics, bolding, and line spacing myself. Then I pasted it in with the Word tool.

Still threw the "unacceptable html" error.

And then I noticed:

The...

Error...

Was...

in

the

Title!!!!!

My old review had italics tags around words in the title, and it wasn't gonna let me do that; no way, no how!

Keep that in mind, especially if updating...

Is someone monkeying around trying to make the form better today? I've not had any problems with posting reviews since the change--I've commented on that but apparently I spoke too soon and the gods are getting even.

I typed in MW using MW for my bold and italics, pasted it in using the word button, and it looked good until I previewed. Then the spaces were, as others have mentioned, all over the place. In html editor I looked and sure enough it added all sorts of
breaks between the paragraphs so I removed them. Pain in the butt, but did. Went back, looked good, moved on to preview, and #%&$ it was all back even after I updated. I saw the update happen on the form. So, the review went, as it appears and won't be changed until things improve.

Hi folks,
Here's the update from Brisbane. We're continuing to work on the issues that we're able to reproduce. There is a known issue with pasting from MS Word using Firefox 3. This combination adds in extra HTML that is not accepted.

We're still looking for more examples of the HTML errors and spacing issues that you all are having. Here is the information that would help us find the source of the issues.

What browser you are using? What operating system you are using?

Are you pasting into the editor? What version of MS Word?

The steps you take after you start working with the editor.

Thanks,
Yoel

I have all kinds of problems...

I use MS Word 2003

I copy from a Word document, but I have problems whether or not I use the "paste from Word tool"

Problems include: using HTML to embolden or italicize more than one line of text results in "opening_ without _ or closing _ without _" warnings when no such mistakes exist. Visually...

If I tried
to make all of this
text bold,
I would receive false error messages.

However if I wanted all of this text to be italicized or emboldened, I'd be fine.

Each time I try to update a review, extra line-break tags are added between paragraphs.
