SOME NOTES ABOUT THE EDITOR

Some notes about editor

1. The page heading as well as the main text can be changed. This is useful if a lecture title or sequence has changed because the change also appears as the link on the preceding page

2. The editor is quite inflexible in dealing with text – fonts cannot be retained on pasting and font-size is limited to the categories of headings in the box shown as ‘normal’ on the menu bar.

3. Double line spacing is introduced where there is a return in the original text. Much of the tweaking involves this problem. It is overcoming by deleting the offending line in the editor and then pressing return with shift pressed.

4. Sub- and superscripts and greek letters can be added

5. When tables in the original are created by using the tab key they do not carry over well. Much better is to have the original formatted using the table function in Word. Then the table imports well by pasting and the properties of the table can be edited in the editor (table editing features on menu become active)
