The Rich Text (or HTML) editor is available in several places throughout Method, and is used to add formatting to your text. The Editor works basically the same way as a word processor like Microsoft Word.

You can find the Editor in the following places:

• New/Edit activity: This includes the New Activity screens associated with the New Opportunity and New Case screens.
• Solutions: Any Solutions you generate will be inputted into an Editor.
• Send an email: Anywhere you have the option to create or edit an email template to be sent to a customer, lead, contact, or employee will include an Editor.

This is what the toolbar in the Editor looks like.

Below, we will describe each section of the Editor. The image will correspond to the buttons being described from left to right.
