Buttons in WebCrimson Editor
Here is a list of all the buttons in our WebCrimson Editor, along with an explanation of how the feature works.
If you don't see these buttons, you are probably using a browser which doesn't support the Document Object Model standard which allows for rich-text editing right in the browser. So far, the major vendor to support this standard is version 5.0+ of Microsoft's Internet Explorer for the PC.
As soon as other browsers and operating systems support this standard, we will be able to offer the same level of functionality in all browsers and operating systems. We are committed to supporting all web browsers which support major web standards!

 Save
Saves any changes you've made in the WebCrimson editing window and keeps you inside the editing window. (The only difference between using this "Save" button and the one at the bottom of your editing window, is the place you end up after you click it. If you click the one at the bottom of your editing window, it saves your changes and brings you back to the page from which you accessed the editing window.)
Use the "Save" button regularly to avoid losing those longer edits! Just click the "Save" button every few minutes while you're writing or editing and all your most recent information will be saved.
A couple things to note when using this feature:
- If you are editing an earlier entry and click the "Save" button, your older entry will be replaced with the updated version (it's just like clicking "save" on your favorite word processor, but we thought we'd point out that you won't be able to restore the older entry).
- When you "Save" your edits, you are not yet submitting them for publication to your web site. If you want to submit your edits for publication, you need to click the "Publish" button at the bottom of your editing window. (Clicking "Publish" will both save your edits and submit them for publication.)

 Spell Check - Coming Soon!
We're integrating point-and-click spell checking right into your edit windows!
As soon as Spell Check is ready, we'll announce it on the site and add it to your account at no additional charge. |
|
 Undo (ctrl-z)
Removes your last edit and reverts your entry to however it appeared immediately prior to your last edit. You can undo your last edit also by clicking "ctrl-z" on your keyboard.
Please note: if you use "HTML Edit Mode", you should avoid clicking the "Undo" button immediately after returning to "WYSIWYG Edit Mode". If you click "Undo" immediately after returning to WYSIWYG mode, you may pull all your HTML into the text of your entry (e.g. when you click "Publish", all of your HTML may be published in text format on your site). |
|
 Redo (ctrl-y)
Re-inserts the most recent edit that you have removed (by clicking the "Undo" button). You can "Redo" your last edit also by clicking "ctrl-y" on your keyboard. |
|
 Cut (ctrl-x)
Removes the highlighted block of content and saves it onto an invisible "clipboard", allowing you to "Paste" the content somewhere else. You can "Cut" a piece of your entry also by highlighting it and clicking "ctrl-x" on your keyboard.
You can also Cut, Copy, and Paste content from any web site and from most documents on your computer directly into your WebCrimson editing window! |

 Paste (ctrl-v)

(Note: you may need to click "ctrl-v" twice in a row to paste your content. If you click it once, and your content does not appear, try clicking it again.)

 Paragraph Break
Creates a new paragraph that can be formatted differently from the previous paragraph:
Paragraph 1 ("Normal" format) [paragraph break]
- Paragraph 2 ("Bulleted List" format) [paragraph break]
Paragraph 3 ("Normal" format) [paragraph break]
Paragraph Breaks typically insert a full vertical space into your text (as shown above), but you may alter the appearance of Paragraph Breaks using HTML. |
|
Line Break
Pushes your new text onto a new line, but keeps it part of the same paragraph as your previous text (i.e. your new text will use the same paragraph formatting as your previous text):
Line 1 of Paragraph 1 ("Normal" format) [line break]
Line 2 of Paragraph 1 (same format)
Note how there is no vertical space between Line 1 and Line 2 above. Line Breaks typically do not insert a full vertical space into your text. If you want to insert a full vertical space, you can use HTML to adjust the default appearance of your line breaks, or you can just insert two line breaks in a row:
Line 1 of Paragraph 1 [line break 1]
[line break 2]
Line 2 of Paragraph 1 |
