Using the Rich Text Editor

Most Apps allow you to enter rich text in a Word style editor, this has multiple modes which are explained below.

"

Minimal Mode

In minimal mode (default) just the basics needed for quick editing text are included.

	Undo and re-do content changes in the current editing session
	Remove formatting - select the text and click on this to remove any formatting (useful if content is pasted from MS Word or another website)
	Text formatting options (select the text to change)
	Select on of the pre-defined headings (it's important to use these to keep formatting consistent across the whole site rather than change font sizes etc.)
	Create ordered and un-ordered lists
	Simple link or link-to-page
	View the source code
	Switch to full screen mode

"

The editor will resize to the height of the screen.
