Newsletter issue editor

Use the tools above the text to make words bold or italic, turn a line into a Heading or Sub-heading (and back to Normal text), add a bulleted list, or line text up to the left, centre or right. To restyle words you have selected, pick a Font type or a Font size from the two boxes just above the text; click inside a ready-made text box first and the whole box changes with it. Use Text box to drop an editable box of words exactly where your cursor sits, or Draw box to draw one by hand anywhere in the issue: press Draw box, drag across the newsletter to mark out the exact area you want, and the box appears right over it. Type inside it, drag the round handle above it to move it, or drag the bottom corner handle to resize it. Click Insert picture where you would like a photo to appear in the text — from this issue’s pictures, from the site photo gallery, or by uploading one from your device. Then click the picture once: the picture tools appear just under the text, where you can choose Small, Medium or Large, send the picture to the Left, Centre or Right so the words flow beside it instead of being covered, stretch it to Full width, set two pictures to sit Side by side (choose Side by side on the second picture and it lines up neatly beside the one before it, with the words flowing below instead of over them), or nudge it up and down the page with the arrows — or grab the round handle in a picture’s corner and drag it anywhere in the text, where it drops straight into the writing and the words settle neatly around it. Remove takes a picture out of the text and returns it to this issue’s pictures, so you can place it again whenever you like. If you make a change you did not mean, click Undo at the start of the toolbar (or press Ctrl+Z — Command+Z on a Mac) and only that last change is removed; nothing else in the issue or on the website is affected.

Your writing and pictures are saved automatically as you work — you do not need to press Save issue. Automatic saving is on. Everything you save is stored with the website’s own content, so it stays in place after the site is updated with new code.
