Hi everyone,
I was looking for a WYSIWIG module for Drupal 7, found some discussions, comparisons, and this group.. but was unable to actually find an actively maintained working module?
Could someone point me in the right direction? I am looking for something that would allow my users to create pages with pictures and basic formatting (B-I-U, bullets indentation) without knowledge of HTML...
thanks!

Install the WYSIWYG module
You should install the WYSIWYG module: http://drupal.org/project/wysiwyg
Then go to Administration » Configuration » Content authoring » Wysiwyg, and follow the displayed installation instructions to download and install one of the supported editors.
Cheers,

do these only work with IE?
Ok I installed the wysiwyg module and added TinyMCE and openWYSIWYG....
However this seems to only work with IE?? I tried:
The edit widgets appear only in IE. I did not see anything in the FAQ or installation instruction saying that only Explorer is supported so maybe I am doing something wrong?
You may have too much going
You may have too much going on and I'm not sure openWYSIWYG is compatible with the WYSIWYG module. Maybe someone else can confirm that.
In any case I would start out by installing WYSIWYG in /sites/all/modules and then install the TinyMCE plugin in /sites/all/libraries
Then go to the configuration WYSIWYG profiles and set up your TinyMCE plugin for Full HTML.
Once you've gotten that far you can add other plugins like IMCE + IMCE_Mkdir + IMCE_WYSIWYG_Bridge so that you can get file and directory access.
Can We Restart Discussion of Drupal 7X WYSIWIG?
We need our editors to work in a rich text/WYSIWIG editing mode...we cannot reasonably expect them to learn HTML. We need the relatively Ctrl-B or Bold, Ctrl-I for Italics, bullet lists, numeric lists, etc.
I tried to install the WYSWIG module, but it shows up in the module list as being incompatible with Drupal 7X. Can anyone suggest a Drupal module that can provide WYSIWIG editing capabilities?

Rod, you should be using
Rod, you should be using http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/wysiwyg-7.x-2.1.tar.gz
I'm using Wysiwyg for 7 with TinyMCE
I'm using Wysiwyg for 7 with TinyMCE, the insert module and setting up image size in configuration. This seems like a nice combination. You can even make your own CSS preset styles that integrate nicely with this setup and show up in the interface.
