The WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor gives you a familiar word-processing style interface to use when editing articles and other content. You do not need to learn HTML or CSS.

Tip
titleCustomize the CSS

If you are using the editor for web pages on the RescueGroups.org Website Service, you may want to consider customizing your stylesheet (CSS). Instead of changing the font face and font size on each page, we can help you customize your stylesheet so that you can make changes globally to all of your pages easily.

How to align text

Text Alignment

To adjust the text alignment: don't use the spacebar, it adds extra HTML code and makes the page unstable.
Instead, select the text you want to align, highlight the text with your cursor and select one of the text Justify/Align icons in the second row.

Panel

Line Breaks

To keep paragraph lines together,   hold down the shift key and enter/return key.

That action adds a line break tag <br/> and not a paragraph tag < p > <p> which has more space between the lines.

Paste in from Word

If pasting in your descriptions from an outside source, such as an email or Microsoft Word, and you would like to preserve as much formatting as possible, you could try the Paste in from Word tool built into the editor. The Paste in from Word button is on the editor's toolbar, and looks like a briefcase with a W on it. That should remove most of the unwanted formatting or code while leaving the basic formatting in tact.

Paste in as Plain Text

If that doesn't resolve your issues or if you do not want formatting at all, use the Paste in as Plain Text button the editor's toolbar to paste it in with NO formatting. This icon looks like a briefcase with a notepad on it.
