WYSIWYG Editor Tool Bar

We’ll go through each icon and discuss what they mean and what they do.

Quick Menu

Basic Formatting of Text

Use Styles

Styles vary from site to site; some sites have no specific styles, where others might have several different kinds of buttons. This is determined in your design process when we build your site.

Applying your styles is simple! You simply type the word you want to style, highlight it and select your Style from the dropdown tab. If you need to break away from your Style and start typing normally, select the red dotted line to break the style and it will go back to normal. Check it out!

Format Your Text

Format your text font with your pre-selected styles. Type the word you want to format, highlight it and select the Headings option from the dropdown tab.

Basic Formatting Options

	Bold
	Italicize
	Underline
	Remove Format -- highlight your text to strip all the existing formatting and clean it up
	Align your text Left, Center, Right, or Justify
	Bullet points and number listings
	Indent your content left or right
	Use block quotes to call attention to specific passages of text

Inserting Media

Use these options to insert images, video files, audio files, or to create a table.

Insert Images or Media

If you already have an image or media file uploaded to SiteWrench, or if you need to upload a file to SiteWrench, you can use Source to get to your files. Select the "Source" button that is just to the right of the Source field to open your Files section or to upload images onto your Files section on SiteWrench.

While you're inserting the image or media file, use the tabs on the left to find additional features.  These features include sizing adjustment, alignment options, media posters, and embed options.

Special Feature - Drop and Paste Images

What’s even better than that, you ask? Now you can drop and paste images directly into your content area, and it will upload and save it for you! Need to find that photo in your Files section later? Look for your photo name with this at the beginning of the file so that it’s set apart: “pasted_photoname”

New Feature - HTML 5 video and audio capability

Let’s say you want to insert a video or audio file onto your site. Previously, you would have had to go through the Media Archive page part or embed an iFrame from YouTube or Vimeo. Now we have upgraded our Editor so that it can handle HTML 5. This is good news for you -- this means that now you can insert a video or audio file directly into your editor and it will play across all browsers.

Now you have the option to select a video, but you also have the option to select a "poster image" to appear publicly where the video file is embedded. The poster image shows before the video is clicked to be viewed.

Wondering where to insert links and files (PDFs)? Keep reading.

Inserting Links

Link me baby, one more time.

Linking your content works just as easily as ever. See our How do I add a Link to my Site? article for a look into the world of linking.

Creating Tables

Adding a table will give you a different way to display your content.  Simply select how big you want your table using the grid.  

Once you have added your table, you will be provided with additional options to expand or decrease its size, and even create table properties.

HTML Editing

We have included a couple of new features to make your life easier.

	Check out our Source button, which is where you can go to adjust HTML
	View your blocks when not in source view. This helps you see the distinction between a paragraph, header 1, block quote, or other.
	If you want more space to view your content, expand your editor view to full screen by selecting the X shape once to expand, and again to put back the way it was.

New Feature - Block View

Block View is a newer feature that will come in handy. It shows you how HTML is incorporated throughout your content, even without viewing the Source HTML.
