I would like to create an announcement list webpart that shows the information like in this image I found googling:
Information is being shown in a column style, date, title and body, instead of the regular table layout that comes out of the box (shown in the links webpart under News).
Is it possible to do this without development or SharePoint Designer?
Thank you.
Yes, it is definitely possible using SharePoint Designer 2010.
You need to understand How SharePoint renders the data of a list. It is all the magic of XSLT which transforms an XML data into an HTML document.
You can customize this XSLT to suit your needs and modify the render pattern of the list data.
You can start from here:

Within MS Lists (Office 365), is there a way to display a link within the Comments? Currently When I add a URL, it is displayed as text only and not as link.
I know I can create a Comments column within the List itself, and apply the to Rich Text formatting on it, however, I wanted to try make use of the inbuilt comments function itself to able to add links to it.
I have a Sharepoint 2010 Custom List. I have created a Nintex Workflow to get all the data from the list i need and wrote it into a variable that contains a HTML table. Unfortunatelly Word only sees the code and not the table when i use this variable in a Content field in Word.
What i need is a way to get the filtered items of the list into a Word document (template) as a table.
I know how to do it with a single List Item but not for the complete list. With the Single item it works great with Content Controls but not for multiple items.
We use Sharepoint 2010 and Nintex. My knowledge of JS is zero and we are not allowed to use SPD.
This is not possible with nintex workflow. You need to create a custom workflow using visual studio to achieve this kind of behavior.
You could build an HTML file via a Build String and Web Request (w/ PUT) actions. Then use the Convert Document action to convert it into a Word doc.
We have a requirement to implement tooltips for words that are authored in Sitecore RTE.
The idea behind is that user should be able to hover over the word and see it's description/meaning.
Is this possible to achieve in sitecore? Did a quick search on marketplace but could not find any modules.
Below are some options to consider for achieving what you described.
Inject Tooltip HTML in a renderField pipeline
In this option, you would extend the renderField pipeline. First, you will need to ensure that you are dealing with a rich-text field, and if so, locate terms and replace them with the necessary markup that is required for the tooltip. This could be as simple as wrapping the word in an <abbr> or perhaps a <span> element with a CSS class. The list of terms and tooltip content could be sourced from items in Sitecore or a custom Sitecore Dictionary. Caching the terms would be essential as this pipeline processor is invoked frequently every time a field is rendereded.
Progressive enhancement with JavaScript
This approach is almost entirely based on the client-side. Terms could be located and replaced fairly easily with the help of JQuery. If the list of terms is of a reasonable size, they could be bootstrapped into a JavaScript variable. Once terms are located and enhanced, a separate, asynchronous call to a REST endpoint could be made when hovering or clicking the term. The API would accept a term and respond with the term's definition.
HTML Snippet in RTE Editor
Sitecore RTE editor can be extended with additional buttons. One of these options allows you to insert predefined snippets of HTML. The RTE editor also has a setting to specify a CSS file to style the content within the field (<setting name="WebStylesheet" value="/css/yourstylesheet.css" />). Styling would be necessary in order to target the description markup and make it visible to be edited, whereas, on the public site, the description markup would normally be hidden by default until the term is clicked on or hovered over.
Dynamic Link Replacement

I am working on a requirement in Sitecore 8 according to which there is a Rich text field and the content author can not only add html data but can also add predefined call outs/renderings/images directly in page editor mode.
Is there any way I can achieve this ? Please help.
We achieve this using Components in Experience Editor. As you create pages, we created components for Image, Video, Text and any Callouts. You will be able to drop components on the page based on specified placeholder settings. In my opinion it is the cleanest approach.
It sounds like 'snippets' is the way to go for you. There are some posts on the web about how to add snippets to RTF fields:

I have a state field, a drop link type field, that points to a section of the reusable content area in my content tree. I'm trying to use glass mapper and edit frame to get this field to show me the list of states in the Page Editor mode.
I haven't seen any documentation related to this so looking for a way on how to get it working.
THanks
