Toolbar Buttons

This section explains how to use the buttons and drop-down lists on the toolbar. (The toolbar is the row of buttons across the top of the editor window, illustrated below.)

The buttons let you perform functions such as cutting and pasting text, inserting images, and creating tables.

All buttons may not appear. Your Webmaster determines which buttons appear on your toolbar.

Note: The following Ektron Knowledge Base article explains how a Webmaster adds a custom toolbar button to eWebEdit400: http://dev.ektron.com/kb_article.aspx?id=16550.

Select All

<Ctrl>+<A>

Cut

<Ctrl>+<X>

Remove selected text and graphics. Place that data into temporary memory, also known as the “clipboard.”

(If you later cut or copy more information onto the clipboard, the new information overwrites the original information.)

 

Copy

<Ctrl>+<C>

Copy selected text and graphics into temporary memory. Leave selected data where it is.

(If you later cut or copy more information into memory, the original information is lost.)

Copying from Other Applications

Paste

<Ctrl>+<V>

Insert the most recently cut or copied text and graphics at the current cursor location.

Paste from Word, Cleaning Fonts & Styles

 

Designed for pasting Microsoft Word content, this button strips fonts and classes. For example, if you use the Paste button, Word content contains these tags.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="BACKGROUND: lime; mso-highlight: lime"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman">

But if you paste that content using this button, only <p> tags are preserved.

Copying from Microsoft Word

Paste Plain Text

 

Paste the clipboard’s contents as plain text. That is, all HTML tags (including images) are stripped out.

This button is helpful when you want to eliminate HTML formatting from the copied text.
