Lotus NOTES
If you are using Lotus NOTES, you will find something interesting. If you copy and paste an image sometimes, you will find the document really big. The solution to that is to use paste special and then either use Device Independent BitMap or BitMap instead of RichText.
You will find the document to be significantly smaller. If you paste in RichText, the document may be > 2 Mbytes but by using paste special, the same document could be just a few hundred Kbyte.
Quickr
Another thing we discovered, is you paste your content directly into Quickr document, opening such document subsequently will take several minutes. We have seen cases where it takes more than 10 minutes.
The solution is paste the content to a notepad and then copy from the notepad prior to pasting it into Quickr. Again this is probably linked to RichText.

Notes appear over your words when you mouseover words on your document
One of my users is using Lotus Quickr to create documents asked me how do they create notes so that when other users move their mouse over the word, they will see notes about the word (i.e. a short note on the description of a training.
The first thing I thought of was to use CSS and there is actually a very nice tutorial available. However, it looks too complicated for a normal user (non programmer). Then I remember another trick I used in another project, basically just add the "Title" to a "a href" just like this (move your mouse over the word this")
The link looks like this

Problem with Quickr, is if you have to do this is "html source" mode. It is also important to put the title properties in front of the href. This is because when you switch back to compose mode, Quickr will add in the fully qualified address instead of the relative address. When this happens, the browser may not detect the title property and therefore will not show the note. Also, you need to commit your changes before switching back to compose mode otherwise you will lose your changes.
