Another Method for Adding Text to Your Website

One of the nice features of a GraphiclData website is that you have the ability to add pages and content to your own site. We often use the "Page Layout Tool" (found in the Page Content Options)when adding content to your website pages since it has a friendly interface (like a simple Word or Publisher program) that you can use.

There is another means to add plain text, or paste simple HTML, directly into your website called the "Text" tool found near the bottom of the Page Content Options. This is a good vehicle to use if you have created the text in Word, for example, and you are going to paste it into your site.

Sometimes the "Page Layout Tool" tool can modify content the next time you open the page in it. In other words, you can paste something into the editor...save it...and all is cool until you open it again to tweak or the like. On opening, it tries to "clean up" or "modify" certain pieces of HTML that it perceives as incorrect, and in the process things may change from your original look. This can be confusing and frustrating.

If pasting HTML into the "Text" tool, it leaves the code intact. And if pasting text, it goes in easy too. Of course if you know some basic HTML you can embellish here as well.

This tool might be worth experimenting with, if you have a challenge with the "Page Layout Tool". You could create a test page with the light bulb turned off so that it doesn't show to the public, play with it and see how it works for you. Worth considering those few times when things seem to not work correctly with the other Editor tool.
