Early queries from the sprint
- Using 'Clear MS Office tags' to remove Word's extraneous HTML fluff (such as Microsoft-specific style names)
- When a table is inserted, (as was done for http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Mifos/HowToWorkWithOffices ) the editor refused to let one add text after the table. Instead the text appears adjacent to the table and to its right. I am sure someone else knows how to do this right. Elsewhere, i was able to add text first, and insert the table between existing lines of text to make it work.
