Just wanted to mention that objects like pictures and such which are inserted in articles are sometimes automatically rearranged after being submitted.
Maybe it's a problem when multiple pictures are inserted in an article.

For example, I've centered all the pictures in my article and some of them got thrown into the left corner after I submitted them.

I've written them entirely in Planewalker's editor (not much text) and used Insert/Modify Image option to import it from another site.

It looked fine when I was submitting the entry.

Are you copy and pasting from Word and arranged them in Word - or linking to and arranging them using the WYSIWYG textarea??

Hm. I'll double check the javascript on that then cause that should be working correctly.

Its happening with text too, seemingly cutting and pasting a few random bits about avery time I save/update changes. Actually its not quite every time.

Awesomely annoying

Is that the reason that certain articles lack a space between two words every few dozen characters?

It's possible - though if the article says it was imported from a previous version of planewalker it may be just bad data from the start. What programs are you guys cutting and pasting from? Windows has some weird tags with MS Word that might be causing a problem in conjunction with our javascript code.

Word 2003 mainly - sometimes I paste it pre-formatted, but I've also tried stripping off all the formatting before inserting it and the results are just the same: It moves a couple of sentences about (and any lines I've inserted), and sometimes inserts the Exocet font in what I think it thinks is a title halfway down the page.... it does this when I save changes or update changes or (I think) save draft.

Ok - switching to TinyMCE editor may have fixed this. Please bang on it a bit to see if it did.
