General Editing
Using Heading Tags
Highlight and choose a Heading Tags and pick a Heading type. The standard for formatting titles and sub-tiles is to use Heading styles. These are available in the Paragraph Formatting drop down. These are extra important to use due to the fact search engines can then identify topics and subjects on your page by finding the Heading tags in the code.
Formatting your content
Heading formatting has been preset by your designer to match your website design and to provide consistency.
To use custom styles first highlight the words to be formatted, then in the editor find the style you want to use. These include things but not limited too bold, Italicize, bullet points, etc.
Tip: Use the "REMOVE FORMAT” feature to remove styles from text. Highlight the text and click the following icon.
Copying/Pasting from MS Word?
Word and other programs add hidden font and formatting tags in the code of the page content. Some of these code tags are not compatible with website code and can cause you headaches well formatting your content but with our SiteApex editor this code is removed automatically.
Click your cursor where you want to insert your content and use the CTRL+V or CMD+V keyboard shortcut to paste.
