Using the WYSIWYG Text Editor

MightyMerchant, version 3.5 and above includes an HTML (WYSIWYG) text editor to allow you to more easily format the text on your site. The editor include MS Word-style control palette for adding things like bold and italicized text as well as adding links and uploading images.

To access the HTML Editor:

1. Go to any Edit screen in your MightyMerchant Site Manager.

2. Each text area on the page has an "Edit Above Text with HTML editor" link. Just click the link to open up the Editor in a new window.

3. Create your new text and add the formatting that you require.

4. Click the "Save" icon in the top left corner of the window.

5. Then, click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page. Your changes will not be saved until you click the "Save" button.

Here are some tips for using the HTML Editor:

To add formatting to a block of text, just drag across the text to highlight it and use the palette at the top of the window to set your formatting.

To add a link, highlight some text on your page and then click the "link" icon (two to the right of the smiley face). Type the address you would like to use for the link.

If you have text that you created in MightyMerchant prior to using the HTML Editor, you might need to do some reformatting of line breaks to have your text appear correctly.
