Hi guys,
I've taken over a program that uses the WPTools Rich Text editor. Recently I have encountered an issue with the resultant RTF data on a client site that I was hoping someone could shed some light on. When changes are made to the previously saved text, whitespace appears around the altered text. Have done a lot of searching through this forum and the manuals but haven't found anything to highlight the difference.
I.e., if I change a typo, like "dodrs" to "doors" the net result when I save and reopen the text is "do o rs". It is only happening with the text that has been saved on this site, so I've tried to trawl through the marked-up version of the text to see if I can find out what is causing it to go haywire. However, there is a bunch of stuff I can't find answers for around some of the elements.

I cannot find an explanation so far for the difference in nr attributes between the two edited values.Would appreciate any light that might be shed as to what might be causing whitespace to appear in the text and the difference between the nr=1/2 and nr=4/5 tags.
Many thanks in advance!
