How does the WYSIWYG editor work?
First, make sure you are viewing in HTML mode (not Text mode), by clicking the appropriate button next to “Message Format.” Then simply type in some text, select the text, and click on a formatting button, just like Microsoft Word. The WYSIWYG editor will apply the style (bold, italic, etc.) to the text. Note: the wysiwig editor can not be seen on a Macintosh-based browser (either IE or Safari). You must be using a Windows OS-based browser to use the wysiwig editor.
