Most of the functions here are fairly self-evident, but a few require some elaboration. A brief description of a tool's function appears if you hover your mouse arrow over the icon. Here is a quick synopsis of the editing tools, in the order that they appear.

When you're done entering and formatting content for a page, be sure to push Save at the bottom of your screen. Newer versions of Plone will prompt you if you try to leave the page you're editing without saving it first. Of course, if you click through the prompt, you'll lose all your work!

	The style menu allows you to choose a formatting style for your text. The choices in this box will likely be customized for your website's graphic design. However, in a default Plone setup, "Normal" is used for body text, "Heading" is used for major headlines, "Subheading" for secondary headlines. Literal, Discreet, Pull-Quote, and Call-Out will display text in different ways depending on how your website has been designed (styled). It's best to experiment with those to see exactly what they do. Please note that these formatting styles apply to entire paragraphs, not to shorter spans of text. To remove a text style  - use the (remove style) selection. Character Styles (such as Highlight) are for text styles that can be used on any span of text from single words to whole paragraphs. Your choices of Character Styles will depend on how your site design was done.
	These buttons toggle whether the highlighted text is bold, italicized, underlined. Very similar to the formatting commands you'll find in any word processor.
	Text alignment (left, center, right justified). These settings apply to an entire paragraph. Again, similar to your word processor.
	Numbered and bulleted lists. We encourage you to use these instead of trying to manually insert numbers or bullets. To stop adding items to a list, delete the last bullet/number or hit enter twice. If you choose numbers, a second drop-down menu will appear that allows you to choose roman numerals, upper and lowercase letters.
	Indent and Outdent. Best used for excerpted text or quotation. You can change this indented text back to normal using outdent.
	Toggle full-screen mode, which expands the editor to fill your entire screen. Can be handy for working on longer pages. Keep in mind that the text will conform to the original width when you save the page.
	Insert a definition list, which is a way of formatting lists. A definition list has alternating lines that are boldfaced and indented, and looks like this: Term to define Definition of the term
	Insert an image. This button will open up a "drawer" which will allow you to browse the contents of your site to find the image you want, or upload a new image. Read this how-to for more information.
	Internal link - Insert a link to another page in your site. (Internal Link)
	External link - Insert a link to a page outside of your site. (External Link)
	Anchor - Let's say you have a long webpage and you want to create links that take you to various points on that same page. This is what anchor is used for. You may also know these as bookmark links. Their use is a little complicated, so read this how-to for anchors.
	Insert a table. Tables can be very useful, but it takes a little doing to learn how to work with them. Read the tutorial for tables to find out more.
	View the HTML code of the page. This can be useful if you need to make some more technical adjustments to the code. Knowledge of HTML is a must however.
