We really need a comments editor that formats comments. These comments print on documents and are just plain ugly and unprofessional looking. A comments editor should include spell checking, bullets, word wrap, etc. Nothing as sophisticated as Word, but a step above notepad.
Comments
Notes and the notes FactBox are a small step in the right direction, but sometimes comments are extensive. The notes FactBox does not show all the comments, and you can't even see if the comment is complete or not because it's limited to what appears to be just 5 lines.In the 2.6 days, the comment popped out into a separate window, and as you went from document to document, card to card, the comment box that was popped out went along for the ride. Very convenient.We had to devise a Comment FactBox that we put on all our pages which effectively took care of this, however, it's at the top of most documents, and the first ListPart on a document page "gets the real estate" in the web client. This was not an issue in the RTC, so once again, this web client is making life worse for real workers. I'm curious to see what these planned improvements are that we should "stay tuned" about. I'd love to be reached out to for feedback prior to launching anything so I could show the team how real business users are trying to get the most out of this interface. We've been at this with Navision since 2002, so I think we'd have something special to offer here.

This also relates to an idea I just posted on making send email more efficient by allowing editing of the message content when auto generated by a body template. The same underlying capability to edit underlying html content within contextual constraints.

Can you please also consider including simple 'multi-line' textboxes to render at least properly? Nothing fancy needed in a first delivery for these textboxes. Just being able to see / edit a multi-line value (e.g. Work Description on Sales Documents) would already solve most of our issues.

It would also be useful if the Editor supports HTML (include that the functionality of respect html in the RDLC-Reporting is enabled) so that it is possible for the customer the mark some parts of the text as bold.

The control used for editing discussions agains a VSTS work item would be perfect. Can you make something like that?

First, if editing in the web client, spell check occurs.
While formatting is great idea, it would also need some functionality to allow controls or stripping of the formatting. Imagine trying to print a block of text on a sales order that a creative user had heavily formatted.
