The SurreyCommunity.info system includes a page editor that allows you to edit and format content for your webpages.

The editor works in a similar way to word processing programs. This page shows you how to add, change and remove text on your pages but you can also use the editor for pictures, links and tables.

Remember!: When you have finished making changes to your page, click either the save button (to store your changes) or the save and publish button (to store your changes and make them available on your website). If you don't do this, you will lose your changes!

To add text to a page

• Open your page for editing
• Click in the editing area where you want to add your text
• Type your text as normal

To delete text

• Open your page for editing
• Select the text that you want to delete (click and drag your mouse across the text to select it)
• Press the delete or backspace key on your keyboard

To format text

• Open your page for editing
• Select the text that you want to format (click and drag your mouse across the text to select it)
• Click the appropriate editor button or menu. Some examples of the most commonly used buttons are listed below.

Commonly used formatting buttons

	Bold: Makes the selected text bold.
	Italic: Makes the selected text italic.
	Formatting menu: The style menu allows you to quickly apply common styles to your text. These include paragraph (normal text) and headings.
	Align left: This places your text lined up on the left of the page. When you apply it, it affects the entire paragraph. This is the standard alignment for text (if you don't choose a different one, this is the one that'll be used).
	Align centre: This places your text in the centre of the page. When you apply it, it affects the entire paragraph.
	Bullet list: This creates a list with a bullet point at the beginning of each item
	Numbered list: This creates a list with a number at the beginning of each item

You can find out what the other editor buttons do by hovering your mouse over them (a tool tip will appear describing the button's purpose) or by checking the list of all the editor buttons.
