WYSIWYG downloads? Problem with ms word html and the HTMLarea

Are there any WYSIWYG Editor downloads, because people send me all their pages in word documents and I turn them into html in word, and use this html code in the admin define pages to make their pages, **when these pages are edited through the define pages ‘HTMLarea’ the pages get distorted, this also happens when someone copies from word into the define pages ‘HTMLarea’ **

Word is probably the worst, after front page, tool for this as it adds stuff that creates the distortion.

you can just use the file and save as plain txt format then copy ans paste into the html area editor and style there.

I do not use WYSIWYG and maybe another has a recommendation

TinyMCE,
is available in the downloads section, and it has a 'copy from word' function, that attempts to strip the bs that word adds to mark up langauge.
you can get a rebuilt ver of the plugin. in the downloads section on this site.

Thanks for your help

I was just thinking there may be a different WYSIWYG editor because I have seem many different ones in forums and content management systems. I have just started using Joomla for my normal (non shop) sites and the WYSIWYG editor seems a bit more stable

I installed TinyMCE and FCKeditor, and TinyMCE does the job perfectly! Thanks Josh :smile:

I think joomla uses TinyMCE

Perhaps these could come in the original zencart installation, I would vote for it, would have saved me hours of hassles
