I can edit rich text just like M.Office.

I am using WordPress 5.8.3 and I can edit the text editor just like I would using M.Office. Thank you.

Cant activate transaction ID

Loved this plugin until the ssl certificate on the site stopped working and can no longer activate my transaction ID to use it. The developer hasn’t replied to my emails yet.
