Using the Text Editor

The calendar's Text Editor can be used to format your Event Descriptions. Please do not paste in copy from Microsoft Word as Word uses a mark up language that overwrites the calendar's styles.

Removing Code

If you notice something wrong with the layout of your text, there may be a problem with the code. There are a few ways to remove bad code.

1. Use the Remove Formatting button
On the right-side of the bottom row of the text editing icons, there is an eraser button. If you select your text and then press that button, it will remove the formatting on the text.



2. Use the Property Inspector
Like CommonSpot, the calendar offers a Property Inspector that will tell you what code is on the text when you select it. Just select the code, find the HTML tag in the Property Inspector and left click on HTML tag to find the option to remove it.



3. Use the HTML Toggle
On the bottom left of the Text Editor, there is a button that you can use to toggle to the HTML to add or remove code.
