Text Editor Tool Bar

Post date: Jul 20, 2018 2:51:31 PM

A toolbar appears on the top of a text box that you can format text with. This toolbar can be used to bold, underline, italic, change font size and color, and add hyperlinks. Wherever this text is displayed in SMCP (reports, queries, etc.), it will keep its saved format. Here is what the current toolbar looks like. It will most likely have more options in the future. 

Undo the last change you made to the text box.

Remove formatting on the highlighted text. 

Bold or remove bold of the highlighted text.

Italic or remove italic of the highlighted text.

Underline or remove underline of the highlighted text.

Create a URL link from the highlighted text. Highlight and use remove format button to remove URL.

This toolbar is useful for customizing critical date entries and is also used to customize the DBA information displayed at the top of invoices, proposals, and work order and delivery receipts. This toolbar may be seen in other places in the program in the future. 

Keep in mind, unlike regular input text boxes, copying text from emails and other websites into a text editor field will keep the original format from which it was copied from. 

TIP: Use [Ctrl]+[Shift]+V to paste text without any formatting. You can also right click and select 'paste as plain text'. This will save time having to reformat pasted text.
