Adding Content Overview

Using the WYSIWYG

Content is added using a WYSIWYG editor (What You See Is What You Get). What a user sees in this environment is what they will get when the content is published. Each of the icons have been explained below.

First row of icons in WYSIWYG editor: 

• B: bold text
• I: itlaicize text
• U: underline texte
• ABC: strikethrough text
• Text can be justified left, center or right
• Scissor: Cut text
• Two Pages: Copy text
• Paste from Text: Clears any code
• Paste from Word: Clears any code but holds on to Word formatting
• "a": Will select all text
• Bullets: Create an unordered list
• Numbers: Create an ordered list
• Indent and Outdent text
• Styles: These can be designed by Monk
• Format dropdown: Select different headers for text on page
• Eraser: Removes formatting
• "brush": Cleans up messy code (tightens things up once you're done)

Second Row of icons in WYSIWYG editor: 

• Chain: Hyperlink, cross reference to media or other pages
  • Target: Rule of thumb -if you want the link to go to an external website you want to keep your website open, therefore, make sure it is "Open in a new window". 
  • If you are linking within your website, "Open Link in the same window"
• Broken Chain: Breaks the hyperlink
• Tree image: Choose from pictures you've already uploaded by using the tree
  • You can take photos from other sites by copying and pasting but if the site goes down so does the image.
  • Appearance Tab
  • Advanced Tab -Can have one space display more than one image; when they mouse over it will change.
• Flash icon: May load flash movies into pages
• Anchor: When you have a page with a lot of text and you want people to be able to skip down to a particluar area, such as in an FAQ, use an anchor.
  • Where you want the anchor to go is where you highlight the text and select the anchor icon. Name the anchor and remember exactly what you wrote.
  • Go to the text that will send visitor to anchor and select the link icon. Enter the URL with # and the exact name you used for the anchor.
• HTML: Code editor for users who may want to access raw html code. The system builds the HTML automatically. 
• Table Icon: Use to insert tables
• Table Row Properties: Format rows in table
• Table Cell Properties: Format cells in table
• Use icons with rows and columns to add and delete as needed
• Split merged table cells
• Merge Table cells
• Toggle Full Screen Mode: Changes users view

Note: email addresses automatically turn into a hyperlink once typed
