I'm copying a large number of articles into a blog
When I copy and paste one blog post to another by hand, it pastes with styling (h1 tags, bold, italics, paragraph breaks, etc..). When I use the Selenium IDE to "store text" and "edit content" to bring the content over, it adds the content without any styling, so it's just one long run-on article without breaks or anything else.
I saw a similar question about using "type" instead "edit content" to bring over page breaks, but I'm unable to use the type command for reasons I can't remember at the moment.
What are my options here?

TinyMCE has a plugin (PowerPaste) that supports pasting content from Word.
TinyMCE also has a plugin (Page Break) that supports adding page breaks to documents.
However. Using an editor instance that has both of these plugins enabled (such as the one on this page https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/demo/full-featured/) pasting content from Word that contains page breaks, using the 'Retain Formatting' option when prompted, does not result in those page breaks being retained in the pasted content.
This seems like a bug. Does anyone know whether this is indeed a bug, or just a missing feature, and most importantly whether there is some way to get this to work correctly?
TinyMCE has a plugin (Page Break) and TinyMCE also has a plugin (Print Preview). Page Breaks don't show in Print Preview.
In InDesign I can define buttons and can add different actions to them. One of these actions is "go to page", but apparently that function is only usable when exporting the InDesign document as an SWF. However, we want to export an interactive PDF.
When we open the exported PDF in Adobe Acrobat Professional we can touch up each and every button in the document and set the page to the page we want, but this is of course extremely tedious work, especially when you have several proving runs.
So, my question is: how do I get my buttons in InDesign to jump to a specific page without having to do the touch up late in Adobe Acrobat Professional? Surely it must be possible to navigate between pages?!
I stumbled on this issue a while back too, and i figured out how to link to a place in an interactive PDF document via Buttons:
1) Create Bookmarks on the pages you want to link to. (I usually make a text in the top of the page in 'paper color' and create a bookmark from that)
2) Button action "Go to destination" -> Bookmark
Hope this helps...
Make a box in inDesign.
Select the box.
Open Hyperlink panel
"Create a hyperlink destination" I use the page number
Then go to the page in your inDesign document where you want to make the button.
Make a box and select it
Open hyperlinkpanel "Make hyperlink" and choose the destination you made using the pulldown (not the page number counter, that didn't work for me).
interactiv->Hyperlink and You choose "New Hyperlink destination" from menu in top-right dropdown menu. And choose page.
I tried sometime but now i know the deal (on CS5 on Windows). I only have the German version so maybe i´ll label some things wrong:
When you create your button and determine the "action" you´ll get a list with available options. Here the upper options work in PDF and SWF, but some options are available "only in swf" and "only in pdf.
"Go to a certain page" is not available in PDF :(
So you have to edit the document via Acrobat.
Another thing: When writing an interactive pdf-file use the option "Export..." under "File", here you chose "Adobe PDF (Interactive)" under filetype.
Maybe (as a thought) there is a way to use Javascript in InDesign and/or Acrobat to assign the buttons automatically.
I am building a website that will make heavy use of the content editor webparts to allow for content to be added. The drawback to this is that by default the content editor provides a "Rich Text Editor" which is good for adding data but bad because it has the potential to break styling. I have two solutions :
First is to do some coding to somehow have predefined css styles added to the styles menu of the Rich text editor.
Second which should be quicker is to simply disable the Rich text editor i.e disabling the fonts, styles, etc from the Rich Text editor so that users can only enter data and not mess around with the styling.
For soultion two, is this possble and what would be the quickest way to achieve this?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
The whole point of the rich text editor is to allow the user to enter styled content as they see fit. If you don't want any styling to be applied through the RTE either create style rules in your CSS to overrride anything the user enters or else use content fields based on multiple lines of text rather than rich text.
Core Technology Systems has recently released a how to video on content management on SharePoint 2010. I have included a link to the website which has the link to the video and their YouTube channel.

Is there a good way to force pasting as text inside Rich Text Fields inside Sitecore? I know there's a "Paste as Text" button in the Rich Text Editor itself, but content authors are almost definitely going to just hit Ctrl+V or Right-Click->Paste to put the text in, and if that content came from Word, all hell breaks loose with the markup. The workaround we have so far is to paste into notepad and then to copy that text and paste it into the Rich Text Field, but that solution is inelegant and I hate it.
Thank you for your time.
Take a look at the setting
<property name="StripFormattingOnPaste">None</property>
Located in the file /sitecore/shell/radcontrols/editor/ConfigFile.xml
Last time I had a requirement similar to yours, I went in there and made the change and it worked fine. Should still work, unless they changed something :-)
SEO issue red characters
Hi all
I'm building webstes using dreamweaver, but when I look at the source code it is red for " characters. I'm told anything appearing in red puts off Google's seo. Does anyone know why this appears in red?
For example when I view code source on the site i get the gt; in red
Find out more>></span>
</div>
Thanks for your help
Regards
Judi
I'm told anything appearing in red puts off googles seo.
That is garbage.
Does anyone know why this appears in red?
Probably because it is an entity and has been marked by the syntax highlighter so you can spot in amongst literals.
Google SEO aside, it's important to understand that there's a world of difference between using CSS to control the colour of text, and the syntax highlighting done by the DreamWeaver editor.
Colours seen when you are viewing the HTML source of your page in a tool like Dreamweaver have nothing to do with the colours seen when viewing your page in a browser.
All that's happening is that Dreamweaver is syntax colouring HTML escape characters in red, I am pretty sure that you have nothing to worry about.
Edit
You clarified that in fact you're not viewing the HTML source in Dreamweaver.
Are you viewing source from Firefox?
Firefox syntax colours HTML in its "source of" viewer. HTML escape codes are shown in red (Firefox 3.6, Windows). The point still stands however that this is just syntax colouring and has nothing to do with how your page gets rendered by the browser, or anything to go with Google SEO.
This might be a bit off topic and of course no-brainer for you guys, but anyway:
Firefox highlights all open lines as red. If you have for example:
meta content="text...
and there is no /> at the end of the line, then Firefox makes that line appear red when you use "view page source".
Though that's not the reason for red highlight in your case.
I can view source in Firefox 11 (Win) and see bolded and non-bolded red highlighted markup. If I hover over the bolded red markup, I see a pop-up description of the problem Firefox is finding with the HTML source. For example:
Start tag seen without seeing a doctype first. Expected "<!DOCTYPE html>"
Start tag "div" seen in "table"
Stray end tag "table"
Stray end tag "div"
In non-bolded red highlighted syntax I see entities such as:
, &, >
Firefox 11 allows you to configure and use an external application to View Source. It also has several configuration values in about:config ("view_source.syntax.highlight" for example) that control how the feature is delivered.
The bolded red source highlighting in Firefox View Source may or may not cause issues with SEO. It's an indication that the browser is finding an issue with the HTML markup in the page you're viewing.
The issue of how much invalid HTML harms you with respect to SEO is debated. (And as pointed out in a separate answer, also depends on where the invalid markup appears.) This youtube video discusses HTML validation and Google SEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XlKn6I9rSc.
I'm told anything appearing in red puts off googles seo
No. Just no. Google's SEO works on a text-basis, it ignores any colouring or formatting within a page.
The colour of the text in the source code is simply based on DreamWeaver's syntax highlighting - if you run and view your page in a browser, it shouldn't be this colour (assuming you aren't actually setting the colour of this to red).
Google will check for color on same color text and background to make sure hidden keywords aren't being used on the page. To google, white on white text is a no-no.
In Dreamweaver, syntax highlight of HTML entities does not translate into a bad 'mark' in the SEO book.
Now on the other hand, if you have key phrases in your link text that includes (>)'s, then your SEO work for the key phrase is shot because the >'s are counted as part of the key phrase.
You can probably turn red highlighting of entities off in Dreamweaver's preferences....
