Where are the font, color, and text size selection tools?

Currently, we've disabled the font, color, and text size selection tools when working with site pages.  We've made this decision because we want all of your pages to be consistent with each other and flow well when it comes to fonts and colors.  This saves you from Jane making her text a pretty pink and John making his page's text be orange and neither of those colors match your site.  We've styled up the heading styles so that they match the look and feel of your site.

What about using html tables?

There are instances where you will want to use html tables to layout your content.  Click on the table icon to begin creating and editing html tables for your page.  Once the table is inserted, place your cursor within any cell that you will want to work with its properties, and right click.  You will be given numerous options and properties to adjust.

I see the 'save' button and save process is very fast, but is it really saving?

Yes. We've programmed our save process here to utilize 'Ajax' technology which does a lot of behind the scenes processing. This enables your saves and other updates to be more efficient and faster, thus saving you time!
