  11. Event Description BoxCont… • Please remember, this is NOT a full word processor, so options may be limited. • Best thing to do is to use your own word processor & then copy & paste into this box • Same principle applies to Excel documents PWGA

  12. Event Description Box – 1st Row • Source – skip – use only if you know how to adjust code • Print Preview – how it will look on screen • Cut – text has to be selected first– Ctrl X • Copy – text has to be selected first – Ctrl C • Paste – Ctrl V • Paste as plain text – no graphics • Paste from word • Print • Undo – Ctrl Z • Redo • Erase – Remove any formatting • Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikeout, Subscript, Superscript PWGA

  13. Event Description Box – 1st Row Cont… • If you are copying and pasting from a word doc, use “paste from word” button to preserve formatting • A dialog box opens up • CLICK inside the box and then press Ctrl V -- OR-- • You can just copy and paste directly from your word doc into the box. If the formatting disappears, use the above method • Does not seem to paste any graphics/pictures PWGA

  14. Event Description Box – 1st Row Cont… • For an excel document,it will not bring in the gridlines. So your best bet maybe to attach that file separately. • Format anyway you like – bold, italic, underline, etc. PWGA

But you can use the drop down menu and choose something different (look at the site’s address) • Some secure sites have https:// • Next fill out the exact address e.g. www.google.com • Best way to avoid mistakes is to copy & paste the URL directly from the site instead of typing it. • Click ok.
