Formatted Text Editor

Use the formatted text editor to control the look of your text.

Some fields include a formatted text editor. The formatted text editor is often available for fields that allow long text entry, such as description fields. These fields feature the formatted text icon . Select the icon or press F4 to display the formatted text editor.

  • You can add a Standard Text screen entry from a lookup list, which allows you to use predefined text in the editor.
  • As an alternative to selecting a standard text entry from a lookup list, you can use the macro function to insert a standard text entry in the formatted text editor. To do this, type an ampersand (&) and enter the code for the standard text entry. Then, press the Space bar. The application replaces this text with the standard text entry.
  • Tabs are not supported in the formatted text editor.
  • Set the default font style and size using the System Settings screen.
