Enabling styles in RTF field in Design tab - tridion

We are using Tridion 2011 SP1. Is there any way to enable styles in Design tabs of RTF field? We have preview tab but editors are finding it as an extra activity to click on preview tab and see the look and feel. In Tridion 5.3 in design tab as well style were applying. We have 2 paragraphs in RTF field but when we check it in design tab we can't see paragraph formattin rather <p> tag is treated as </br> tag.

Now Tridion has their own stack exchange site.It have answer of this question here
Since you are also from Tridion community so I would like to request you to join it. See you there :-)
Thanks

Adding a button to Outlook 2007 to add a text from HTML file

I'm looking for help to add a Button on the Outlook 2007 Message Ribbon to, when its clicked, add the text in a HTML file.
My first questions is:
Is this possible?
What are the possible language you can do this is?
What languague is the the best for this?
EDIT:
I now know how to create the button and so on. But what I need help with now is the coding.
What's the code for when clicking the button it will add the HTML file (the main signature) to the bottom of the mail?
I don't know about all languages support, but C#.NET has a lot of support because both product are from same vendors.
You can use visual studio IDE 2010 which already has templates of outlook add-in for MS-Office with ribbon support also.

Add style rule dialog box in Visual Studio 2012

Just noticed that Add Style rule dialogue box which showed up CSS-outline is missing in VS2012 or I am missing some changes made by MS?
This is discussed on the MSDN forum here.
As far as I know that the Style menu has been moved from VS2012,
however, you can get the Build Style feature from the toolbar. Go to
View->Toolbars->Style Sheet.
However, you still can't get the "Add Style Rule" option which is
available in VS2010. If you feel it is a very important feature to
you, you can consider submitting one feature request on the Microsoft
UserVoice site here:

Tridion 2009 SP1: Opening Component via Page metadata opens Shared Item without showing dialog?

In SDL Tridion 2009 SP1, I am using Page Metadata with Component Links to set some featured media, SEO data, etc for Pages. The problem is when the editor clicks the "open" button to edit this from the Page, the Shared Item is opened at the current Publication in read only mode. What we need is for the Shared Item dialog to be displayed as per opening a Component Presentation so that we can edit the parent item.
Is there a way to enable this functionality?
I believe there is a hot fix for this. I will try to find the number.
UPDATE
It seems I was wrong - The issue I am thinking of was for SDL Tridion 2011 and solved with hotfix CM_2011.0.1.73971 at https://www.sdltridionworld.com/downloads/hotfixes/SDL_Tridion_2011/index.aspx - I guess it is possible the issue came from 2009 SP1.
SDL have now produced a Hotfix for this issue:

Reporting in Rich Text

I've built an ASP.net web application which allows the users to view and make notes on a list of calendar events. The notes are edited in a WYSIWYG editor that outputs to HTML text (but could also output to RTF), which is then saved as text in an MSSQL05 database.
Now I've got to add a printing function to the calendar application. Prior to this version, the printing was done through SSRS05, but now that I've added rich text notes, this method will no longer work.
I can render the whole calendar in a printer-friendly format in the web browser, but my users have two issues with that: first, I can't turn off the header and footer added during the print, and the users are a little too basic to understand how to turn it off themselves; and second, when a note gets too long, the text gets wrapped not-too-gracefully to the next page. Unfortunately, they use IE7, so the page-break-inside attribute isn't recognized, and upgrading to IE8 or using a different browser is out of the question (I already asked :P)
So with that information, what's the best way to generate a report which features rich text?
I suggest DataDynamics ActiveReports. Very powerful, lightyears ahead Crystal. Give it a try!

IE7: tricks/plugins for seeing all the html on a page?

I'm working on an app that's sort of a bastardization of old and new tech (ASP/ASP.NET). It's all running in IE7. I'd like to be able to right click, View Source and actually see all the html that I'm seeing with my eyes. For example, I have a bit of text in the middle of the page that's in a table. I right click directly on that bit of text and "View Source" and the text isn't in the HTML that I'm looking at. There's no line break or special characters. It's a single piece of text like ABC123. Yet ABC123 isn't in the HTML that I see when I view source.
Is this just something that I'm stuck with? If not, how can I get to the HTML that I want? The app won't run in FF so Firebug is out of the question. I've tried a few developer toolbars for IE but have found them to be flawed at best, not working at worst. It's just very frustrating; I want to make a little change to a style of a TD and I have to go through way too much work just to see if I like it (because of the complex way that the HTML is generated).
When developing in IE I use the IE developers toolbar:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18359
It will allow you to see rendered HTML on the page, and allow you to drill down and select specific elements that you want to see. There are various highlighting functions, and you can trace styles back to their source.
It's not the be-all and end-all of developer toolbars, but for those times I can't use Firefox / Firebug it does the job over other solutions I have tried
IE7 Pro gives a right click and "View Generated Source" option.
Some ideas:
Firebug Lite
Use IE8 (with its developer tools) in compatibility mode.
MS created a developer toolbar for IE7 (sort of like Web Developer FF extension): http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/details.aspx?familyid=E59C3964-672D-4511-BB3E-2D5E1DB91038&displaylang=en
