Joomla Text formatting tool stinks seriously!! |
|
|
If you need to copy something from
Word, other website, etc, paste this information first into Notepad (in
windows os) or some other plain text editor. This will clear any hidden
formatting and special tags. Then paste text into Joomla Editor text
area and use Joomla Editor Tools to format the text (to make it bold,
colored, etc).
You may be trying to get down to the next row by hitting enter key and you end up creating another paragraph with an extra white line.
You may avoid doublespacing by holding
down the SHIFT key when hitting ENTER. This will not take you to the
next paragraph, instead you'll be able to start typing in the next row.
There are huge issues on websites in page loading time resulting from images not being resized correctly. Instead of image being the same size as it appears on the website, they are scaled and and appear much smaller than they really are. Why is this a problem? This is very inefficient causing you lost time as pages load slower but it's much worse for first time visitors to the site as they do not have those images stored in the browser's cache.
Size
the images correctly during upload or click on it in the JCE Image
Manager, then use icons on the right to perform image
manipulation/resizing.

hi Chris, considering that you are new to Joomla, you probably do not know about the editor that we are talking in this article (which is not the default Joomla Editor TinyMCE). Here is the link to the editor that we use which I would also recommend you to set up: http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/ If you have any issues, we could set it up for you. Best, Ogy

I am also new to Joomla. It appears that parts of letters or a few words appear cut off and the left and right hand margins. Can't get it to work. It also does it in the text editor.

@Andrea, that issue w/ margins may be related to your template not being created or customized correctly as well, ogy

Chris
