Text

Webitor has all your standard text editing options like bold, italic, bullet points and alignment etc. In addition to these there are a few special functions detailed below.

 Size

To change the size of your text:

1. Highlight the text you want to change
2. Click on the "Size" drop-down box on the left menu
3. Select the size you want.

To remove the size:

1. Highlight your text
2. Click the Eraser button ()

Styles

When we constructed your website we set up a few standard "Styles" that we would like you to use throughout the website. These styles will ensure the text size, colour and font will remain consistent throughout the site.

Style Your Content

The Styles drop-down contains styles we have created for you, these can be used on text, images and table boxes.

1. Highlight the text you want to change
2. Click on the "Styles" drop-down box on the left menu
3. Select the style you want.

To remove the style:

1. Highlight your text
2. Click the Eraser button ()

Font

Fonts change how your text looks; there are 17 web-safe fonts available for your website.

To apply a new font to your text:

1. Highlight the text you want to change
2. Click on the "Font" drop-down box on the left menu
3. Select the font you want.

To remove the style:

1. Highlight your text
2. Click the Eraser button ()

Why are you limited to that small set of fonts?
Browsers (Internet explorer etc) can use only the fonts installed on your computer.  So it means that every visitor of your web page needs to have all the fonts you want to use installed in his/her computer. Of course, different people will have different fonts installed, and thus come the need of a standard set of fonts common to all computers world wide.

Format / Headings

These "H" or Heading formats are used for titles on your pages.  Search engines like Google regard any text styled with a heading to be important text, placing keywords in the heading text helps your ranking in Google.

Headings work a little different to normal styles, headings style a whole paragraph of text and can not be used to style just a few words in your paragraph.

1. Click in the middle of your text (do not highlight, it can be unreliable)
2. Click on the "Format" drop-down box on the left menu
3. Select the format/heading you want.

To remove a heading:

1. Click in the middle of your text (do not highlight, it can be unreliable)
2. Click on the "Format" drop-down box on the left menu
3. Select "Paragraph"

Spell-Check

Spell checking works by highlighting all the miss-spelt words on your page, you are then given suggestions on how to spell the word correctly.

To check your page for spelling mistakes:

1. Click the spell-check button on the left menu ()
2. Wait a few seconds
3. You will now see your misspelled words highlighted in yellow with a red underline.
   OR a message will display "No misspellings found"
4. Click on a highlighted word
5. Click on the correct spelling from the list
   OR click ignore word if the word is unique and correct.
6. Save your page.

Copy & Pasting on your pages.

To copy text & images:

1. Highlight your text or click on a image
2. Click the copy button on the left menu (or hold ctrl on your keyboard and press the letter C)

To Paste text & images:

1. Click the "paste" button on the left menu
2. You are given 3 options, select "Paste"
3. A alert may pop-up, select "Allow"

Hint: You can use a short-cut to paste: hold ctrl on your keyboard and press the letter V.

Copy & Pasting text from documents or other websites

When copying text from other applications or websites we recommend stripping all formatting (remove bold, colours and fonts); using the "Paste as plain text" () tool. This is particularly important because content from another Website/document may contain hidden elements that can create problems for Webitor and even break your site!

To paste text safely:

1. Highlight the text you want to copy on the other website/document
2. Hold ctrl on your keyboard and press the letter C to copy the text.
3. Open Webitor and go to the page where you want to paste
4. Click on your page
5. Now click the "Paste" button on the left menu
6. Select the "Paste as plain text" option
7. A popup will show the text to be pasted
8. Click "Insert"
9. You can now edit and format your text as normal.

NOTE: You may be shown a "Please allow pop-ups alert" in Internet Explorer, click ok.
Then click on the yellow bar at the top of your screen and select "Aways allow pop-ups for this site" and you wont see this alert any more.

 Copy & Paste Text from a Word Document:

When copying text from Microsoft Word we recommend you use the "Paste from Word" () tool. This option will keep most of your formatting (fonts, colours, sizes, and tables) and remove any nasty hidden code that could interfere with Webitor.

To paste text safely from Word:

1. Highlight the text you want to copy in word.
2. Hold ctrl on your keyboard and press the letter C to copy the text.
3. Open Webitor and go to the page where you want to paste
4. Click on your page
5. Now click the "Paste" button on the left menu
6. Select the "Paste from word" option
7. A popup will show the text to be pasted
8. Click "Insert"
9. You can now edit and format your text as normal.

NOTE: You may be shown a "Please allow pop-ups alert" in Internet Explorer, click ok.
Then click on the yellow bar at the top of your screen and select "Aways allow pop-ups for this site" and you wont see this alert any more.
