Select an Editor Style

 

Create documents within your Intranet by using the IntraEditor™ or Plain Text Editor. The IntraEditor™ is a sophisticated text-writing tool that provides extensive text-writing features to Users. The Plain Text Editor, an alternative to the IntraEditor™, is a much simpler text-writing application. Follow the directions listed below to select the IntraEditor™ or Plain Text Editor style. 

 

Note: The Intra.Net™ default editor is the IntraEditor™

Selecting an editor for your Intranet will have an effect on the following applications:

 

ü       Document Manager – creating Intra.Net™ Documents and Notes

ü       Bulletin Board – creating Threads and Replies to Topics

ü       E-mail – creating E-mail messages

ü       Contact Manager – creating notes for Contacts

Note: Macintosh Users or users running Linux or Solaris may only use the Plain Text Editor option.

IntraEditor™

The Intra.Net™ IntraEditor™ is an integrated HTML editor. A rich, full featured word processing tool, which allows text-enhancing formatting selections to be made. Users are able to add images, choose font size, color, bold, italics, and other options. Cut, copy, and paste text, left or right justify, or center text, insert tables and much more.

Plain Text Editor

The Plain Text Editor is a simple text-writing tool that is quick and easy to use. Without any text formatting capabilities, the Plain Text editor is perfect for those documents that need no involved design. Macintosh Users or users running Linux or Solaris may only use this option.
