Using the Rich Text editor

Some text fields display a formatting toolbar that you can use to format the information you enter in the field. This is especially useful for instructions and email announcements to focus the reader's attention on important items.

When the Rich Text editor is enabled, the following options are available in the toolbar:

Font family - Select the font for the text (such as Verdana or Arial).
Formatting options - Display text in bold, italics, or underlined.
Font color - Change the color of the selected text.
Change font size - Increase or decrease font size.
Highlight color - Apply a highlighting color to selected text.
Alignment options - Align text left, center, or right.
Insert/Edit Link - Insert a hypertext link.
Upload Image - Upload and attach an image. For detailed instructions, see Inserting images in records.
Bullets and Numbering - Create numbered and bulleted lists.

Spell check is available by pressing CTRL and right-clicking to display the dictionary options.
