Hi Phil, it may be a completely different problem that you are experiencing, but my team have found this useful, to stop html scrambling in the text editor: Login as an administrator, and go to Tools and Utilities in the admin panel Select the 'Text Editor' link and unselect the 'Validate HTML Markup Whenever Users Submits Content' and see if that solves your problem for the moment Apparently, this is a a short term fix, as Blackboard are planning to release a service pack containing a new content editor to fix that editing weirdness.

This seems to specifically affect Announcements. Sadly, asking all our staff not to cut and paste from word would fall on deaf ears.
