Question

WYSIWYG for tables in Editor view?

Several of our users are complaining that tables in the Editor view don't look like they do when composed in a print preview. Tables have no identation in our editor view but they have the standard 1" margin when you do a print preview and I was wondering if there was any way to have the indentation in the Editor view as well, as well as make it more WYSIWYG looking. I know it's last century technology 🙂

    Ah, but don't all great technological marvels have at least a hint of
    "because I could" in their origin?

    Well, with all the legacy stuff out there, there should be a steady
    flow of work in the FOSI world. The problem is the low turnover.
    After all, old FOSI developers never die... they just reach the
    <textbrk endln="0">.

    Believe it or not, I sometimes compose email that is not short in AE (just in paragraph elements) so I don't have to deal with formatting and to use the thesaurus. Also, selecting just the characters you want is easier in AE than some editors, and AE deletes a word space when it deletes a word, which is less work for me.

    An AE-based native XML mailer with FOSI formatting sounds like a great idea to me! 😆 I'll have to give some thought to a name ...
