Text Editor (Tiny MCE)

Using the TinyMCE Boxes in Publisher is easy! If you can use Microsoft Word then you can use Publisher.  The editing options are almost the same.

Format Text (Paragraph, Heading 1, Heading 2, etc)

Use the drop-down list to change the text to the required format eg Heading 1, paragraph etc. Note, the list of styles will always appear in the list by default, although your site may have an over-ruling style design that will not allow certain formats. In these cases, the text will default to paragraph.

1. Highlight the section of text to be formatted.
2. Choose the appropriate format from the drop down list.

Select All

As the name suggests, clicking this button will select all content inside the text box.

Bold Format

As the name suggests, changes the normal text to bold.

1. Highlight any text to be in bold.
2. Click on the Bold icon to convert the selected text to bold.

Italic format

As the name suggests, changes the normal text to italics.

1. Highlight any text to be in italics.
2. Click on the Italics icon to convert that section to italic.

Bullet Points

This function creates a bullet point list. Note this function will place a bullet point on every new line of text, so ensure to press enter at the end of every line of text.
