jacques_ca or you just hook properly into the event lifecycle of TinyMCE =):

	// runs when an editor instance is added to the EditorManager list
	tinymce.on('addeditor', function(e) {
		var editor = e.editor;

		// wait for this particular editor instance to be initialized
		editor.on('init', function(e) {
			// when the editor is initialized, add the custom text
			editor.execCommand('mceInsertContent', false, '<p id="123">bolded text</p>');
		});
	}, true);

but of course you can also use the setTimeout() approach and hope for the best!

Thank you guys for your help -) sorry for the delay.

lukI tried this method and I did not see any change. When I test the code in the console, I get this log: Dispatcher {fire: Æ’, on: Æ’, off: Æ’, once: Æ’, has: Æ’} and there is no result on the screen.

TariqHussainI used windows.load() then settimeout waiting for 10s, I did not see any change.
