This is a simple plugin that enables rich text editing on the excerpt field.
If you have any plugins installed which alter TinyMCE, e.g. to add additional 
buttons, they will also be applied to the excerpt editor.

<h3>Known issues / bugs</h3>
Please <a href="http://www.simonwheatley.co.uk/contact-me/" rel="nofollow ugc">report any issues</a> that you find.
<ul>
<li>In WordPress versions prior to WordPress 2.5, when you click the “advanced toolbar” button, the advanced toolbar shows up on the 
Content, rather than the excerpt. Reported by <a href="http://hypenotic.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Jorge Villalobos</a></li>
<li>You can’t send images to the excerpt editor from the edit page file browser; 
you have to send them to the main editor, then copy and paste.</li>
<li>To show the excerpt you have to use a template which uses 
<a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_excerpt" rel="nofollow ugc">the_excerpt</a>, rather 
than <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content" rel="nofollow ugc">the_content</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Requests</h3>
I’m simply noting requests here, I’ve not necessarily looked into how possible any of these are or how much effort they might require.
<ul>
<li>It would be great if you could switch between TinyMCE and Quicktags as the content does. Requested by <a href="http://hypenotic.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Jorge Villalobos</a></li>

Rich Text Editor for WordPress [Rich Text Editor for WordPress](http://phphtmleditor.com/wordpress/ “Rich Text Editor for WordPress”1) is by far the fastest, cleanest, most powerful online wysiwyg content editor. It replaces default WordPress wysiwyg(what you see is what you get) editor with a more advanced wysiwyg editor.
<h4>Some of the features added by this plugin</h4>
<ul>
<li>Support for creating and editing tables.</li>
<li>More options when inserting lists.</li>
<li>Search and Replace in the editor.</li>
<li>Ability to set Font Family and Font Size.</li>
<li>And many others.</li>
</ul>
Rich Text Editor toolbar is completely configurable and it is also effortless to implement. This Advanced WordPress Editor plug-in is compatible with the WordPress v. 3.0+.
#1 cross-browser support
Most available RTEs fail to support the full spectrum of A-Grade web browsers. Following 9 year old tradition of industry #1 cross-browser support, Rich Text Editor for WordPress continues to offer even better quality and compatibility by supporting all major browsers: IE 6.0+, Firefox 2.0+, Mozilla 1.3+, Netscape 7+, Safari (1.3+), Opera 9.0, IE 9 and Chrome.
Cleanest html code
Most WYSIWYG editors are just JavaScript wrappers around the editing control built into browsers such as MSHTML control found in IE. They generate bad markups and then run code clean-up routines against it. By contrast, Rich Text Editor for WordPress is built from the ground up to be a true XHTML editor in its own right.
Extremely small and fast
Most feature-rich WYSIWYG editors suffer long loading times due to large javascript files. Rich Text Editor for WordPress only loads the necessaery scripts to client browsers. Numerous optimization methods have been applied. It’s clean, compact, extremely fast-loading, but still powerful and efficient.
Insert clean HTML from Microsoft Word
High Reliability, Scalability and High Load Support
When text is pasted from Microsoft Word a lot of unnecessary word specific markup is carried across. This can result in web pages that take an unnecessarily long time to download. The Paste from Word button solves this by removing word markup before pasting the text into your page
