Q: Using the Rich Text Editor, I am having trouble getting things to do what I want. For instance, when I try to move an item in a list and then promote it, it is not being promoted properly. Tip | icon |
---|
| - The Rich Text Editor does not always behave. It is useful as a tool to try to do something you may not have done before and may not know how to do in wiki markup language. However, you may find that using the wikis markup will give you more control over how your page behaves.
|
Q: I use Safari on a Mac, and am having trouble with the Rich Text Editor. Tip |
---|
| - (found in wiki guide 3.0) Safari does not work properly with the Rich Text Editor. Try using Firefox if you wish to use the Rich Text Editor, or if you need to use Safari, use Wiki Markup to edit and format your page.

Q: When viewing a powerpoint or excel spreadsheet I am being prompted by Firefox to install an add-on. Why? Tip |
---|
| - The add-on is required for a feature that we DO NOT support. Firefox is just being helpful.
|
Q: Some functionality of the Office Connector plugin is not available. Why is this? Tip |
---|
| - Certain features of the Office Connector like editing, modifying, and saving an office document from the wikis, requires the WebDAV plugin which is not compatible with our authentication software.
- The WebDAV plugin represents a security risk for our server and is therefore unavailable.
