Re: Activation problem

Hi, many thanks! I am sorry that by using the word 'coerce', even in brackets, I somehow seemed to imply that there has ever been any suggestion of needing to update for the sake of updating. Many apologies. I will give the matter further consideration and see if my better option in the long term ...

Re: Activation problem

Hi, The last version of WYSIWYG which I paid to update to, is Version 15. Even though I know there is currently Version 18, I have found Version 15 perfectly adequate for my basic needs, especially that I have now effectively retired. However, I did pay for a licence, and can confirm this as follows ...

Keyboard Shortcuts

Hi, I find f5 particularly useful, for previewing, as well as one or two others I regularly make use of. I'm sure there must be one that, instead of Previewing the page/pages you selected, it Publishes them instead? There do seem ways of making up your own keyboard shortcut, but if the process is ...

Hi, I have read that some images won't accept the addition of borders, which, personally I think, makes them look smarter. A good number of the images I use, do accept Box Shadow 7, whether I'm using them in the default setting , or the 320 mobile size. When I initially click on these images, the ...
