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!

(Note: icons may look slightly different, depending on what version of Plone you have)

	The style menu allows you to choose a paragraph 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, and "Formatted" is generally not used, unless you have need for formatting "literal" text like mathmatical equations or snippets of HTML code. Please note that these formatting styles apply to entire paragraphs, not to shorter spans of text.
	These buttons toggle whether the highlighted text is bolded, italicized, underlined, superscripted or subscipted. Basically similar to the formatting commands in a word processor.
	Text alignment (left, center, right justified). These settings apply to an entire paragraph. Again, similar to your word processor.
	Ordered 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.
	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.
	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 (This is probably not something you'll use very often.)
	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.
	Insert a link to another page in your site. (Internal Link)
	Insert a link to a page outside of your site. (External Link)
	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.
	Undo and redo edits done before the last time you saved. These buttons work with varying levels of success.
	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.
