Editing Text in BB

Over the past several months I have had people get in touch with me regarding editing within Blackboad.  The issue is that the right hand margin of the material has expanded so far over that there is a lot of horizontal scrolling going on to edit the material.

Initially the thought was that the issue was caused by copying from Word into items and folders.  This can be the case as MS Word makes some pretty evil looking HTML.  However it is not always the case.  I will not go into all the particulars here just know that this may be an issue.

I asked Blackboard to look into this for us. There answers needless to say were less than satisfactory and they have asked us to put in a request for a product improvement.  The one solution that seems to be currently viable is to save things as plain text, bring it into Blackboard that way and put the formatting in with the Blackboard editor.
