Using the HTML Editor


Throughout your application, you might come across various screens in which you can invoke an HTML editor.

Your user preferences must be set up to allow you to use the HTML editor in the Send Email dialog box. For more information, see Setting Outbound Communications Preferences for Send Email.

The HTML editor provides special editing controls that allow you to use supported HTML formatting, and also provides some standard editing features such as cut and paste. Table 16 describes each button available in the HTML Editor toolbar.

Some buttons may not be available, depending on where in the application you are when you launch the editor.
