How do I edit my stories?

WebEdition offers in-place editing, so you can preview how your text will look as you edit it.

1. Copy and paste text into your story.
1. To avoid copying over the rich-text formatting (e.g., specific typefaces) from Word or another document, either copy from a plain-text document OR paste by using a key command to use the WebEdition type. For Windows, CTRL + T after pasting. For Mac, Command + Shift V.
2. Note that you will need to add back in any boldface or italics to the type.
3. You also have the option to clear formatting after you’ve pasted text. Highlight the text and then choose the three ellipses icon. Then choose the eraser icon to clear formatting.
2. To format type, highlight the text and choose from the following options:
1. Bold
2. Italics
3. Link (chain icon). *Tip: When adding links in WebEdition, ensure that it’s the full URL (e.g., including http:// or https://).
4. (Choose the ellipses icon to see the option to) Add headings (H1 or H2)
5. (Choose the ellipses icon to see the option to) Style a blockquote in the body of the text
