What you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) editors are all the rage because they present a familiar interface, hopefully making it easy and inviting to write content.
The fact is, no matter how great your Drupal site is, one thing will always be true: people writing content for your site will probably compose their thoughts in a program that they are comfortable with, and, chances are pretty good that program is Microsoft Word. So, once they're done writing, they just copy and paste from Word in Drupal and the results can be disastrous: messed up fonts, exposed code, insane errors in Internet Explorer. It's terrible.
This session is designed to help you navigate the tricky business of selecting a good WYSIWYG editor and configuring it so that its bulletproof, even from Word.
Intermediate implementers who have set up at least one Drupal site for an organization that loves Microsoft Word.
