Basically the Rich Editor rearranges some of the Wiki markup - much like say.. Seamonkey or Kompozer HTML editors do when you open an existing HTML page and edit/save. The RE does a kind of tidy or pretty print of the content... you will especially see changes anywhere there are tables, and where Wiki markup doesn't follow some accepted practices (eg syntax for Categories will be automatically moved to the bottom of a Wiki page) C. -- Clayton Cornell [email protected] OpenOffice.org Documentation Project co-lead Sun Microsystems, Hamburg, Germany --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
