Using the WYSIWYG Editors

Wysiwyg:  What You See Is What You Get.

Your Website Administrator uses Wysiwyg editors throughout the site giving you direct control over your webpage content.  If the form only offers a text box - without the Wysiwyg controls - it is because the formatting has already been done or the number of words limited to a short description.

In general, these controls are standard formatting tools.  You probably recognize them from other programs.
