Creating a Paragraph Using the Editor

If you are creating a paragraph that will be used on an HTML-based letter or editing an HTML letter on a case, you can use the Editor toolbar to include special formatting (such as font colors, size, bold, and italic).

You need to set the Preview Type field to "HTML text" for the paragraph to preview correctly.

The following formatting buttons are available on the toolbar. When you are finished, click Save on the banner to save the changes made to the paragraph.
