Updating/Editing content on a Flat Page

There are two types of editors that can be used when updating content on a flat page:

Basic Text Editor – This editor allows you to bold, italic, underline text, align, increase/decrease size, add tables and hyperlinks.
 

 

Advanced Text Editor - this provides additional features such as change colours and spell check.
 

 

When copying content from an external source, you must copy and paste the content into a Notepad file which is located under All Programs/Accessories on your hard drive. The text can then be copied from Notepad and pasted into the editing window. Failure to complete this step will affect the style sheets used on the website, which keep the look of font size and style consistent across your website.
