Reminders

  • Search the site before adding content. You may find it's already there, or that it needs to be updated somewhere else also.
  • Spell Check!
  • Always preview the page before submitting. If it doesn't look right in preview it won't look right live
  • Submit to workflow through TASKS. If you don't submit it the changes won't go live.

Web Editor FAQ's:

What's with the extra line space?

Just like in Microsoft word, if you want to continue on the next line without a space between the lines hold down the shift key when you hit enter. To remove a space between lines, delete the spaces and returns and then position the cursor and hit SHIFT + Enter

Why is there a big white space at the top of my page?

Usually this is because you have tried to put something that is too wide in the text area- typically a table with a pixel width of over 460. Don't manually set table or column widths, or adjust column sizes in excel or other programs, let Reddot resize the table as needed. Call 603.645.9635 if you need help.
