WEC 103: Rich Text Editor

Tutorial:WEC 103: Rich Text Editor

Use the Rich Text Editor: Formatting Text

You can easily format text in the Rich Text Editor (often called the RTE).

  1. Use the Page Module and select the Page from the page tree that you would like to edit.
  2. Next, either create a new Content Element (click on the Page with the Green Plus) or on the edit icon in an existing Content Element.
  3. If the Content Element does not have a Header, it is a good habit to give it one now. Otherwise, scroll down to the RTE.
  4. To delete the existing text, you can click inside the RTE Text box and press Control-A and then press the delete key on your computer, or you can Click and drag over the text to highlight it and then press the delete key.
  5. To add text, simply type in the RTE text box.
  6. To create bold text, you may toggle Control-B while typing, or you can highlight existing text and either press Control-B or click on the Bold Icon.
  7. Do the same for either Italics (Control-i) or Underline (Control-U), or highlight and use the Control keys or the formatting icons.
  8. When you have completed editing your text, scroll to the top or bottom of the page and click the Save and view document to see your work.
