Using the Content Editor Box

A tip from Mrs. H

Sometimes you'll type your text directly into a box within your assignment and submit it. This box is called the Content Editor . You'll see this when you're participating in a discussion board, wiki, or blog. It might also be in a test if you're being asked a short answer or an essay question. The Content Editor has some formatting tools to help you make your text look the way you'd like. Below is a list of some of the tools you'll use most.
