Ektron CMS400.Net Reference
This section explains how to use the buttons and drop-down lists on the toolbar. (The toolbar is the row of buttons across the top of the editor window, illustrated below.)
The buttons let you perform functions such as cutting and pasting text, inserting images, and creating tables.
All buttons may not appear. Your Webmaster determines which buttons appear on your toolbar.
Note: The following Ektron Knowledge Base article explains how a Webmaster adds a custom toolbar button to eWebEdit400: http://dev.ektron.com/kb_article.aspx?id=16550.
eWebEdit400’s toolbar buttons are explained below.

Designed for pasting Microsoft Word content, this button strips fonts and classes. For example, if you use the Paste button, Word content contains these tags. <p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="BACKGROUND: lime; mso-highlight: lime"><font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman"> But if you paste that content using this button, only <p> tags are preserved. |
