Thanks, Tim. I have spent some time poking around their site and more questions come to mind...but let me do some research and learning to find out what has already been answered on these pages.

Thanks for the response. I understand about the MS additional tags.
I foresee more HTML education for my users - explaining the various h1, h2, treatment of text. Is there a way for the user to increase the font without adding the bold of a heading?
Or would this be done through the use of a module? I am thinking maybe a module could be used to handle the formatting in a specific manner. Is this true?

I went to a website and copied a bunch of text as I experiment with the text editor. When I pasted into the text editor, the content was pasted as a table. What caused this reflex?
I have repeated the action several times with mixed results. My thought is my copy may have included a complete div and this causes it to paste as a table. Thoughts?
Also, in the text editor window there is a frame placed around the table - sometimes. Could you tell me what causes this? I know I am in a table when the table toolbar appears as well as the markup language below the editor window.
My testing shows if I choose to paste as plain text, the content is not placed in a table and I believe this is a correct reflex.
Thanks again for helping a rookie.

Thanks for the demo site! So I am playing around by adding more text to an existing paragraph. I did so by cutting and pasting from another source. As expected, the original source formatting was brought over. Now I want to quickly change the font, size, and bolding to match the existing text. From your experienced point of view, what is the easiest way to accomplish this?
Take it all to Word? In other words, copy and paste all text into MS Word and do my conforming and formatting there before bringing it all into BigTree?
Paste as Plain Text? By right-clicking in the editor window I reveal an option to paste in plain text. It appears that this option removes special formatting such as bold and emphasis, and selects the font family and size to match the previous text. (Previous text in this case, is the font family and size of the character to the left of the cursor position when the function is executed.)
Edit the Source Code? An option on the toolbar (<>) will display the text with the markup language. For those so inclined, this may be another option.
I foresee a combination of techniques based on the amount of formatting to be done and the user comfort level, but would like to learn from the masters what I might be missing.
