Adding text
To add text, simply type in the workspace in the middle.
l Press Enter to insert a new paragraph.
l Press Shift+Enter to insert a line break.
Alternatively, use the Insert Lorem Ipsum toolbar button to insert dummy text, or copy-paste
text into the template.
Select Paste as Plain Text from the Edit menu or the contextual menu to insert the text without
any HTML styles or formatting.
Text that precedes or follows the value of a data field can be added by the Text Script Wizard;
see "Using the Text Script Wizard" on page849.
Note: it is not possible to open a Word file in the Designer. When you copy text from a Word
document, however, basic style characteristics travel with the content to PlanetPress Connect
Designer. Formatting options like bold, italic and formats like Heading 1, Heading 2 are
maintained.
Extra spaces
When you add spaces in Design or Preview mode the editor automatically preserves any extra
spaces by converting them to non-breaking spaces (" " in HTML). It does this because in
HTML extra spaces are generally removed. Take this into account when you edit the template
in Source mode (i.e. in HTML) or add text via a script.
This how-to describes another way to maintain extra spaces in the text: Maintain extra spaces
in text.
Adding special characters
To add special characters:
1. Position the cursor where the character should be inserted.
2. On the Insert menu, point to Special Characters click Symbols, Dashes and Spaces,
Arrows, or Geometric Shapes, and click one of the available special characters.
Adding page numbers
Page numbers can only be used in the Print context. See "Page numbers " on page531.
