Text Editor
The Text Editor allows you to add and format text to your webpages. The editor is presented in a similar way to a word processor for familiarity, so if you've used a word processor, you should be right at home using this text editor.
There are three tabs - edit, link and HTML. In each of these tabs, you will still have access to the text box so that you can type your content, but the editing and formatting options available to you will change from tab to tab. Clicking anywhere inside the box will insert a cursor at that point, from where you can start typing.
Edit Tab
There are two rows of editing options. From left to right, the top row of options are as follows:
Undo- This button will undo your last edit
Redo- This button will redo your last undo
Select All- This button will highlight all text in your text box
Cut- This button will "cut" (remove) all of your selected text in your text box and save it to memory so that it can be pasted in another location (see the Paste button below)
Copy- This button will copy all of your selected text in your text box and save it to memory so that it can be pasted in another location (see the Paste button below)
Paste- This button will paste any cut or copied text currently in memory into the location of the cursor. Although you can paste text from wordprocessors, such as Microsoft Word, there is no guarantee that they will produce perfect html and so you may see some strange effects. The best idea in these cases is to copy the text from the word processor into a Notepad file, and then copy it from there into 350pages.
Alignment- These four options will align the text in the text box to either the left, center or right, or will justify the selected text
Some browsers do not allow you to use the cut, copy and paste buttons for security reasons. You can find out more about this problem and how to resolve it

From left to right, the bottom row of options are as follows:
Bold- This button formats the currently selected text to a bold typeface
Italic- This button formats the currently selected text to a italic typeface
Underline- This button formats the currently selected text to add an underline
Normal- This button removes all formatting currently applied to the selected text
Text Color- This button allows you to apply a new color to the currently selected text
Background Color- This button allows you to apply a new color to the background of the text
Numbered List- This button starts a numbered list to which you can add as many lines to as you wish
Bulleted List- This button starts a bulleted list to which you can add as many lines to as you wish
Indent- This button allows you to indent your currently selected text
Remove Indent- This button will remove a previously applied indent
To the right of these options are two drop down menus where you can change your font and font size. Highlight the text you wish to format by holding down your left mouse button and dragging the cursor across the section of text you wish to change, and then select the font and font size you desire from the drop down menus.
Link Tab
You can link any part of your text to a file or page in your 350pages, or an external file or page. Highlight the text you wish to link and choose the link type from the drop down menu (the list in the menu will include all of the files in your 350pages). Then enter the link address in the Link To box, if required, and then click the Link button next to the Link type to apply the link.
HTML Tab
You can add HTML to your text or change the HTML produced by 350pages. This is for advanced users only and you risk damaging or corrupting your pages if you do not have prior knowledge of HTML coding.
