Using the Editor
Basic options of Editor
When editing the content in your site, you may see fields that have a rich text editor like the one you see below. This editor, called TineMCE, offers many of the features seen in programs like Microsoft Word, giving you many featuers such as the ability to style your text, create tables and lists, and insert images. This tutorial will explain how to use the editor and what all the buttons on the editor's toolbar do.
