Re: Can't change HTML editor

modius,

I'm sorry for being so dense.  I have read through the link you provided
below.  I cannot see how to activate the Styles dropdown box in the TinyMCE
editor.  My main problem right now is that users can only edit font family,
font size and font colour with the Formatting drop downs.  I want access to
all the CSS styles in main.css.  But I don't know how to activate that in
TinyMCE.  I'm surprised that it's not activated by default.

Can you provide some detailed instructions on how to ensure that the styles
in main.css are availabe to the TinyMCE editor?
