Essentially it's a WYSIWYG, and gives the user full functionality over the text entered. It's a great way to add that Web 2.0 Component to a site and best of all it's free and very easy to use. http://tinymce.moxiecode.com/ That will translate the textarea box content into html code. It also has a feature called "Paste from Word" which will take care of this issue. Hope that helps! Kaustav ____________________________________________________ Kaustav Acharya Web Developer U.

This is causing problems because of the Microsoft Word "Smart Quotes" getting converted to strange characters, like an upside down question mark. As for the cut and paste emails...the FROM address in the pasted emails sometimes has something like <someone's email address>. The brackets seem to be confusing Witango and I sometimes get garbage at the top of the web page that is being built. Also, in a simple test that I did by cutting and pasting the sentence "This is a word inside brackets: <oracle>", the resulting page had "This is a word inside brackets:" followed by blanks. So, did Witango take that as a Metatag? Is there away to get around this? Thanks for any response, Larry J.
