After taking a couple stabs at offering my clients Microsoft Word-like “rich text” editing for their blogs, I have settled upon the elegant MudBomb Wysiwyg for WordPress 1.5+.
I have had some issues with training clients to use the WYSIWYG inteface, which is fantastic, because it likes to hold onto MS Word styles in the cut-and-paste process.
What I recommend they do is to de-style copy by pasting it into TextPad or NotePad first — and then re-copying it to the clipboard and pasting it in as plaintext.
From there, you can do all of the formatting yourself, including links, italics, bold, etc, using control-i and control-b, etc.
Or, you can make sure you mimick the CSS font size and style in Word so that there isn’t a gap between them.
I myself use the cut-and-paste to TextPad approach.
And on my own blogs, I don’t use a WYSIWYG tool at all. But clients love it!
