WYSIWYG Editor Help

Note: For a simple linebreak please use <Shift + Enter> instead of just <Enter>.
For a paragraph use <Enter>.

If you are using either Mozilla, Firefox or Netscape, there might be problems when switching to HTML mode and back to WYSIWYG or when switching between the tabs "Content", "Images", "Publishing" and "Metadata". If after that you can't edit the content of the editor, try switching from WYSIWYG to HTML and back. This is a known bug in all Mozilla based browsers.
