Entering Text

You can use a text edit box to enter text in the following documents:

  • A new topic or response in a Discussion


  • A team document in a TeamRoom


  • A team or subteam status report in a TeamRoom


In each of the documents listed above, the text edit box is labeled differently. For example, it is the "Report" box for a TeamRoom status report and the "Content" box for a Discussion topic. However, both the box itself and the buttons you can use to edit the text are identical for all documents.

To enter text in a text edit box, type the text in the box and use the buttons above the box to format the text and to create links to Web sites. The table below lists and describes the buttons you can use to edit text. (Use the drop-down boxes above the text edit box to choose a color, font size, and font type for your text.)
