Once you have selected the master styles for your email, the default content of your email message will reflect those styles. You can further stylize the layout, textual and other visual content of your email by using the text editor tools.
This tutorial provides an overview of the text editor tools that control your email message and how to use them. Click on a tool's icon or name to see the instructions for that specific tool.
Styles in the menu are available when you highlight content. They only display if the style is relevant to what is highlighted. Examples:
Use the email editor's font selection tool to overwrite the master font selection for selected text. Font families selected using this tool will not change if you adjust the master font styles. To cancel/remove the font choice you can use the Remove Format tool.
Use the email editor's font size tool to overwrite the master font size for selected text. The font size you select using this tool will not change if you adjust the master font styles. To remove or change the font size you select, highlight the text and select a different size. To remove the size choice and revert back to the email's master settings use the Remove Format tool.
Highlight the text you want to edit and select the font color from the color chips. Click "More Colors..." to use the color picker, or to enter the hex # value. Colors entered using this tool will not change when adjusting the master styles or by applying classes (using the style menu).
Highlight the text you want to edit and select the background color from the color chips. Click "More Colors..." to use the color picker, or to enter the hex # value. Colors entered using this tool only affect the line of text, and you will see spaces where there is no text.
If you want a solid background color, we suggest creating a table or using a layout block, and then applying the background to the table cell instead of applying it directly to the text. Background colors applied using this tool will not change when adjusting the master background styles or by applying classes (using the style menu).
Undo reverts the last edit you made
Redo returns an Undo operation to its previous state.
Highlight the text or image that you want to create a link for and then click the Insert Hyperlink button. This will bring up a window where you can enter or edit your URL.

Note - not all characters that are pasted into the copy editor, e.g. from a Word document, will display as intended in email or in a web browser. We recommend sending yourself a test email to see how it looks, and then replacing any bad characters using the Insert Special Character tool that's in our editor.

If you want to apply styles/formatting from one section to another then select the area you want to copy and click the 'Copy Formatting' tool (paintbrush). Immediately highlight the area you want to copy to and your copied styles will be applied.
If you want to revert back to the master styles or remove formatting from content you have copied and pasted, highlight the text or area you want to edit. Click the 'Remove Format' tool and the styles will be removed.
Tip - If you have copied and pasted your contents into the editor and it does not appear correctly when previewed or emailed, then we recommend removing the formatting that may have pasted along with the text using the Remove Formatting tool, and then reformatting the message using the editor tools only for best compatibility.
