Easy edit doesn't retain the formatting done on the text!
Jul 13 2008, 3:16 PM EDT 1. I formatted a particular title centering it to the page. Easy edit easily ignores it and puts the title to the left of the page. 2. I put the author's name to the right of the page but the Easy edit puts it to the left margin of the page. 3. I took a Word Document copy and pasted on my wiki page. It is shown correctly but when saved it lost the whole formatting. It is difficult to contribute any articles if this problem is not solved or a suggestion is given to retain the original format of the document. Kindly post a solution/ reply to nvkrao@mail.com 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jul 13 2008, 3:21 PM EDT Yeah, I have tons of problems with lineing up my text, images and widgets on pages. It tends to ignore certain ways I alline things. This should be fixed. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Jul 15 2008, 8:56 AM EDT "Yeah, I have tons of problems with lineing up my text, images and widgets on pages. It tends to ignore certain ways I alline things. This should be fixed. "would the wetpaint team fix it now? If they can fix up this soon it would encourage the authors. Hope the central team would do the needed correction in the software. It is too taxing when you have to re-edit the text repeatedly and with no improvement. I request the Central team to do the needful immediately and inform all the users of the wetpaint.

RE: Easy edit doesn't retain the formatting done on the text!
Jul 15 2008, 12:18 PM EDT If you'd like us to fix the problem, you need to tell us the URL of the wiki you're having trouble editing. Many times the problem is that there's multiple setting that conflict. For instance, a center on text while it's contained in a table cell that's set of left. Or italics on a Heading. MS Word does all kinds of unnecessary formatting on text that doesn't work on the web. I recommend pasting into Notepad first. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Or italics on a Heading.1. the url is slokas.wetpaint.com 2. I shall try pasting on notepad first and try to put it on wetpaint site and reply you if it helps. 3. The margins I set on Easy edit during edit are accepted at the time of editing but not retained on Save. When a MS word document is pasted, Easy edit shows it properly with the formatting as per MS Word but on Save it mixes the whole document as a continuous text not retaining the paragaraph (line feed mark). I hope you would visit the site and suggest the solution avoiding pasting on to note pad again. Thanks. nvkrao@mail.com Do you find this valuable? |

My mail address is nvkrao@mail.com. Hope this helps you. I didn't quite follow your statement" please dont say email addresses".

Jul 17 2008, 12:54 PM EDT Please visit the site at http://slokas.wetpaint.com/page/Adi+Sanakara%27s+Nirvana+Shatkam+with+a+translation+from+Dr.+V.V.B.+Rama+Rao 1. This time I used Word Pad ( perhaps equivalent of earlier Notepad) to first paste the document from MS Word and copied and pasted on to the site quoted above. Though the Easy edit accepted it, I still have a problem in getting the formatting retained by Save; The line spaces I gave to separate the paragraphs are ignored by Save, though Easy edit accepted them at the time of my editing! Could you kindly suggest a solution to this problem. Sorry, if I am taking much of your time. If this problem persists authours would not be encouraged to write any articles. I need your attention to solve the problem. Thanks. nvkrao@mail.com. 2.You will notice that in a number of places the linefeed is not taken care though the Easy edit shows them in tact while Save is not accepting them.

RE: Easy edit doesn't retain the formatting done on the text!
Jul 20 2008, 3:21 PM EDT I am also having problems with this. I am currently writing Bios for characters from an anime show, and often my formatting gets lost thru the saving process for some reason. Example: After I saved a paragraph, it showed the whole thing was italisized, but when I went into Easy Edit, it shows it isn't! I can't fix a problem I can't see, so the whole thing remains Italisized, it's not a major problem, it 's just a little frustrating. Also, when doing definitions (i.e. having a term underlined, then a " - " sign, then the definition of the word), it at times bunches all the terms together into one paragraph and centers it, even though I left enough space and left aligned it. I even re-typed the whole thing in Word and pasted it back on the page, with the same result. I ended up having to do the whole thing w/ bulleted listing, but the weird thing is, all the rest of the definitions in subsequent sections on the same page retain my original formatting! I guess I wrote a lot, sry, don't mean to complain so much, it's just a little frustrating when you have something you want looking good, then for some reason it get messed up when you save it, lol. My site is: http://thebleachhollow.wetpaint.com/ Thanks for your consideration Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Easy edit doesn't retain the formatting done on the text!
Jul 20 2008, 4:39 PM EDT I am having this problem too. You can 'centre' text on easy edit then as soon as you press save it reverts to 'the left' again. Sometimes if you do it again and save it stays put but lately especially there is some text that just wont stay centered. Also the indents (bullet points) have been playing up. I had bullet points on my homepage (www.retrohead.co.uk) for a while then all of a sudden the bullet points 'centred' underneath the text!!(??) I corrected it and all was ok, then a couple of days later it centered again under the text....now its corrected but these seem to be things that should not be happening. It is very annoying when east edit wont allow things to stay centred even when you have clicked the 'centre' button. Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Easy edit doesn't retain the formatting done on the text!
Aug 6 2008, 3:07 PM EDT I am having this same problem, too. It is getting EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!! http://ammenagerie.wetpaint.com 1)It won't let me put space between paragrapths or between a heading and a paragraph. In easy edit, it shows that it is there and "saves" that way, but then when I go back to the page, it is all "condensed." 2) I am having GREAT trouble with trying to line something up on the left, it shows that it saved that way, then when I go to pull the page back up, it is all jumbled together, centering each line. ex: Simple Site Rules page. I typed them in as a list, left-centered, inside the table, space between each rule. But now they are all one paragraph, each line of the paragraph centered. It looks like crap! 3) On my profile page there is the two column table, right side is the About Me side. I had it all set up really nice, each side a color, all my info carefully typed in. After I logged of and went to log back on I was aghast to find that the left cell was all the way across the page and all the info in it was now outside and below the cell. Everything in the right cell was still in the cell, but squeezed up thin on the far right side of the screen and far, far longer than the left side of the cell. I copy/pasted the info that was out of the left cell, back into the cell, hit save, it saved, but I lost all of the right cell. And the list of formatting woes goes on but I am running out of characters here. How can this be fixed? Do you find this valuable? |
