- does not remove all Microsoft Word tags.
- does not work in non-Internet Explorer browsers.
- modifies the html code behind text in unexpected ways (such as removing whitespace, converting html tags to uppercase, removing doctypes)
- The "SmartTree" functionality does not work in non-Internet Explorer browsers.
- Editors can only assign one keyword at a time to content.
