At the lower right corner, you can drag the text entry window into a size that is comfortable for you.
You can type texts directly into the text input field or insert existing texts with "Copy & Paste". When copying / pasting, please take note of the formatting of texts.
There are several submenus available in the menu line, if available, there are also shortcuts.
Insert
Special characters: Here you can choose from a selection of special characters.
Horizontal Line: Use this command to insert a horizontal line.
Anchor: Use this tool to insert an anchor and give it a name. You can then link to this anchor elsewhere in the text. Please note: this works only within a text entry, they can not refer to anchors in other texts.
Insert Link: Here you can insert a link. The user will be redirected to a page you specify or to a specific anchor in the text. This command also has a corresponding quick access in the toolbar (second line, far right).
In the dialog box, you can enter the URL or use the file search icon to access and select an overview of the pages in the additor® (and their sections). If you click "[...]" after the page name, you can link directly to a specific section of the page.
An e-mail can be linked by simply specifying the e-mail address at the URL. Additor recognizes the address and offers to "mailto:" advance so that the browsers automatically open the local e-mail program to send an e-mail to this address.
In the "Title" field, you specify the text that should appear when the user moves with the mouse pointer over the link.
In the "Anchors" drop-down menu, you can select from the text marks of the text.
At the bottom of the dialog box ("Target"), you can specify whether or not to open the link in a new window.
Editing
Undo / repeat: Here you can undo actions or restore undoed.
Insert as text: If you want to copy texts into the text field, you may occasionally copy the formatting. This can lead to unwanted text designations. To avoid this, you can either use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + V instead of the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + V. Or choose "Insert As Text" from the edit menu of the text box. Please note: this setting remains active until you switch it off again!
Alternatively, you can remove the formatting afterwards (under "Format" / "Remove formatting").
