John Joslin Nov 1, 2009 7:38 AM (in response to Robert Eckerlin)Use trial and error.
You need lots of both.
And, when you think you've got it licked, it bites back.

Robert Eckerlin Nov 1, 2009 9:47 AM (in response to Jochem van Dieten)Thank You Jochem for your answer.
I took a look at the xxxxx.ClearspaceHelp.html Webpage that you refered me to.
I have problems to understand how that Webpage can be considered to be/contain a "User Guide" for the Text Editor.... It contains so few information about Text Editing. Is there really nothing better? Based on your answer, I fear that I can not find or get better documentation from Adobe or from the Jive company about this Text Editor.

It is the only thing that is available.

Do you have any examples of the sort of documentation you want to have?

Jacob Bugge Nov 1, 2009 12:43 PM (in response to Robert Eckerlin)This is a test of a few of the options in WordPerfect:
‒ Number one;
‒ Number two.1) Number one again;
2) Number two again.Centred
Right aligned
Left aligned Centred Right aligned
The listings work, unexpectedly.
The alignments do not, expectedly since this is something like emailing. It even strips the font.
This is less worse than expected. So it would be possible to write the whole post and insert, without going through Notepad.
It may be different with Worst, because it is Worst.

Robert Eckerlin Nov 1, 2009 6:31 PM (in response to Jochem van Dieten)Thank You Jochem
I was trying to understand how I could do things as simple as inserting text that I had previously copied. Since there are neither command menüs nor buttons for the Insert of previously copied text, I was trying a mouse right click.....and was being offered in the context menu the choice between "Insert Link", "Insert Image", "Alignement", and "Insert Table"....... but no possibility of a plain insert of previously copied text.
Now, I realize, that Clearstream supports at least the keyword shortcut of "Ctrl V" ........that I am not using in any other software (I never use any keyboard shortcuts).
Since Clearstream does not support reasonable choices in the contextual menus, I will need to memorize the most important keyword shortcuts.By the way: I detected now, that the "Ctrl V" keyboard shortcut allows me to insert formatted text.

Even, if I will now begin to be able to use reasonably Clearstream, I am quite surprised to see that such a software provides neither reasonable Contextual Menus, nor a User Guide, nor........

Thank you again Jochem for your patience with me.

Robert Eckerlin Nov 1, 2009 6:37 PM (in response to Robert Eckerlin)Since Adobe will surely ask Jives to get re-imbursed for the many many hours, that Adobe users have wasted with Jives Software: I will recommend to Hedge Fund Managers to "Short" the Shares of Jive. This will hopefully allow to get rid of some problems.

The common ones soon become second nature.
It also helps if you find one day that your mouse is kaputt!

Like a few other users he has an alter EGO (or two IDs).

All part of the plot to frighten everyone away.

Robert Eckerlin Nov 2, 2009 11:57 PM (in response to John Joslin)No, No...it did not want to frighten anybody away (even if I wanted to do so, I would not be able to do it). Also, I did not want to hide from others or confuse others.
My Forum- or Adobe- profile contained a "Screen Name" and it is that Screen Name that caused the confusion. Sorry for it. Its now fixed.
