Thank you for your help. I cannot read the two articles you gave me links for as I don't have a support contract. I got a seat on the PTC University and am taking Editor courses. Again, I am trying to learn how to bring Microsoft word including graphics into Arbortext. You have helped. I have accepted as a solution your suggestions.
UPDATE: I tried this for a while.. and do hearby announce this was a profoundly stupid idea. (I can say that about myself:). MS Word is a word processor, and a very good one. It is nowhere near being a programmer's editor. It's that apple-orange thing.
I request you add a dedicated word processer to the program, that has many basic functions useful for better text insertion. I think you would enable it with a text tool - it would expand into a window that you could create a text document with without borders, margins and the like, or edit text, it would import a variety of file types, then it would paste that onto the layout page.
I need to have a textarea with highligting (Some css effect) of certain words and phrases.Previously I have got this working with editarea - however as it is a dead project more and more issues arose so I am trying an alternate more current editor - Ace.
1. When using Text Styles, the tools available in the word processor invite the user to alter the placed text, or mistakenly apply say a different colour, even though the text style has already been assigned. In my mind this 'opportunistic' ideologically defeats the purpose of styles by making the tools available; I see it as a kind of weak link in the approach to encourage CAD standards if every time auser place or edits text, they can modify properties. Perhaps a config var to hide the tool bar?
2. [Re No.1] I would suggest the addition of a button to 'reset/restore' the word processor settings [and perhaps the currently edited text] to the active text style, or alternately the word processor inherits the text style and a clear warning that the text style has been deviated from when commiting the text.
3. When in word processor and selecting say colour, could you add an option to match style [only visible in the text editor].For me, I think it is the simplicity and the ability to enforce Standards and prevent distractive editing opportunities when we have goals to promote uniform documentation.
What you could do in adding is some visible guideline vectors in the word processor which show theText Node line length - The Structure. The user can adjust the line length clearly and then when committed all the affected lines are adjusted. Hard [carriage] returns are ignored if they are within the bounds of the guidelines. If the guidelines shorten a line of text less than a hard return, then the hard return is deleted and the line length is assigned [adjusting for word lengths etc]... by using 'soft' returns, AKA word wrapping.
PS: granted you can say - create a folder, put all those word files there and imagine it (the folder) as a "database" - but too cumbersome that way with M$ Word + plugin vs what I already use now... so I do not need to tweak the M$ Word - I am looking for alternative software like SmartEdit Writer (which while not dealing with ONE file already seamlessly handles save/open/backup/export/etc of its database /which is a set of folders & files inside/ + has less memory footprint vs M$ Word) ... using M$ Word + plugin will be a step back for me.
I must admit to being confused at your apparent need for Tabs in MS-Word, or any other word processor. We do a lot of word processing at my place, and I've ever needed more than one document per instance, sometimes with several (windowed) instances open simultaneously for comparison, copying etc.
can do that with multiple documents and windows in any word processor. Organize them with a file folder. Then you have one clean master document when done and can zip all your other notes and sections away for archival l.
A word processing file contains user information in plain text or rich text format. A plain text file format contains unformatted text and no font or page settings etc. can be applied. In contrast, a rich text file format allows formatting options such as setting fonts type, styles (bold, italic, underline, etc.), page margins, headings, bullets and numbers, and several other formatting features.

Current behavior: Document with single line of [[test linktest]] gives a word count of 3.
Desired behavior: Word count should be 1, using only the link text, not the hidden info for the link.
Character/word count includes the contents of Front Matter and characters inside markdown links or wiki links, formatting characters, multiple end of lines or whitespace that is stripped from the resulting formatted text.
It is a problem because for all purposes I can imagine, I need the char/word count of the resulting formatted text, not of its source. Could you please add an option to only count chars/words of the formatted (previewed) text without Front Matter? Thanks in advance.
Like many people I know, I frequently use commented text (wrapped in %%) as a way to keep outline and main text in the same document. Notes to self, notes from collaborators, it all gets tucked in a comment. The problem is that these notes show up in the word count, and there is no easy way to see my progress.
So we recently started with Ghost Domain error on Chrome and I wanted to start publishing some blogs that I wrote in word, now when I pasted the text I have written it showed up as a picture and I can seem to figure out how to get text there.
I was having problems with a text editor module not saving when making an edit. I slowly kept adding words and saving the module until it would not save my changes. BB would just keep spinning and not get back so I could save and exit from the page builder.
In seriousness, I think this project would work well to keep away distractions when writing. It strips writing down to the bare essentials, almost like writing on a typewriter. No superfluous fluff here; only the written word.
Dude that beach music is so perfect, and same with the sound effects. I showed it to a friend, and he agreed: the sound for each keypress and the music turn your cart into an experience! I felt like I was writing dialogue in a retro RPG in an emotional cutscene. I really like what you made. Keep it up!
(Who knew all I needed was a good-looking word processor with nice music?)
Background music for a word-processor, @mkol103 ? Ah, has an option for OFF. Okay. Much better. Suggest add option not just joystick and keyboard but MOUSE entry keyboard. Pretty good here. I like the font. Gold star overall.

InDesign's import for Microsoft Word could do with an upgrade to handle graphics drawn directly in word such as wordart, floating graphics, equations etc. My preferred method is to import a word file rather than cut and paste from the word file, but I'm sure my peers here will have their own opinions. To make sure that items haven't "dropped off" the word file, I usually ask the client to submit a PDF of the same file so I can check.
