Edit Text

In the blue section provided, enter in the text that you would like to display on the Web page. HTML code will not be interpreted in this section, so the HTML code will actually appear on the Web page itself – if you do want to use HTML code, you must use a Literal Component.

The text entered in to the blue text area will be displayed as formatted. If you want to limit the dimensions of your text component, you may click on the blue "+" and "-" signs above the blue text area. You may adjust the width of the blue text area by clicking on the blue "+" or "-" next to the text "Columns". You may also adjust the height of the blue text area by click on the blue "+" or "-" next to the text "Rows".

In the Advanced tab for the Text Component, you can apply colors, heading attributes, hyperlinks, class, indenting, bold, italics, underline, font size, and font face to selected text.



To apply different formatting, you must select the text first and then change your formatting for the selected text. When finished, you must click on the button "Update" to save and apply your changes to the text component to the Web site.

Select the text to edit by:
1) clicking on individual words to apply your formatting
2) click on the link "Select All" to select the entire text component
3) or click on the link "Select Block" to select a group of text. Click on the first word in the group, then click on the last word in the group.


Please keep in mind that you cannot select an individual letter in a word. To do this, you can either separate the specific letter from a word in the same component (such as, by using a space) or add the letter as a separate text component that is next to the rest of the word in another text component.

Unselect your previous text before selecting new text to apply the new formatting to.
