When using the ewebeditpro tool remember:
- Always select all (ctrl-a) and then select the "Standard Look".
- Always hightlight your text and then select the "Standard Look" if your font face or size doesn't seem correct.
- There are many buttons on the ewebeditpro toolbar. If you don't see one you are looking for then
you have two options. You can drag the menus around by clicking on the two virtical bars on the menus || or you
can right mouse key within the editor's whitespace.
- If you have to apply your own font then try to use "Arial" with a size of "11px" but please remember that the "Standard Look" is preferred.
- Virtually all of the cleanup I've had to do had to do with removing excess tags from Microsoft Word.
- If something doesn't work click undo and try something different.
For example:
- If a word won't bold, try removing the last or first letter, highlight the word and then make it bold. Then type the removed letter back in.
- If an image shows up with an "X" that doens't mean that it doesn't exist, it just means that the editor can't resolve it's path. There's a good chance it will show up just fine on the published page.
- If you are brave click the <> button and edit the html. Removing starting and ending tags such as <div class=msotext> and it's
corresponding ending tag </div> and similar Microsoft tags might help you out. Just remember, all html tags are easy
to recognize, they have a < and an > such as <strong> and are always closed off like this </strong>. So if you
wanted to un-bold a word you could remove the <strong> tags around it or the <b> tags
.
Remember, although the tags may have variations and look a little forboding, they almost always have the same effect. For example, a <p>
(paragraph) tag might look like this in the editor's html: <p style="msoplaintext" left-marting="0"> but ultimately it's still just a <p>.
If you remove it, which I recommend, just remember to remove the entire tag.
A list of common tags
- <strong>
... bold
- <b>
... bold
- <i>
... italic
- <em>
... italic (also called emphasis)
- <u>
... underline
- <p>
... this is the paragraph tag, always replace it with a <br> tag because it is unpredictable.
- <br>
... line break (the closing tag is optional)
- <span>
...used to apply the style (the standard look actually gets applied as a span like so <span class="primary_cell">This is text that would show up in the standard look</span>
- <div>
... also used to apply the style
- <font>
... applies a font (it's a good idea to remove font tags because the "Standard Look" will apply one automatically)
- If you make a fatal mistake and haven't saved yet, just hit refresh and you can start over.
- Don't bother underlining links please.
- Don't bother changing the color of links please.
- If the "Standard Look" doesn't apply, hit undo and try selecting portions of your document and applying the look in a piece meal fasion.
- Bullets are touchy, try highlighting this bullet copying it into the editor: •
- Try to avoid making too many items bold... no more than 20% of your page should be bold.
- Try to avoid selecting a font size or font family, if you can just stick to the font and sizes
that the "Standard Look" applies.
- Generally Microsoft Word puts in lots of junk when you paste, I have activated a feature that is
supposed to clean out this junk but it is spotty at best. Try pasting from notepad or typing your
text by hand, it might actually save you time.
- Do you have a document that is 1/2 and 1/2. Like 1/2 normal text and 1/2 underlined. Then this means that you
have a html tag that is not closed out. Just click on the <> button and search for the place where the
error starts and remove the culprit, which, in this case would be a <b< or <u< or <strong<
