Using the rich-text editor

You can compose your pages using either the rich-text editor to format the content on the page or  HTML Source to format your page using HTML tags. You can switch between the two formats to take advantage of the rich-text editor features and to insert tables and spreadsheets.

When you edit using the rich-text editor, the two-row toolbar lets you easily format your page layout. Select font sizes, font faces, text styles, font colors, and background colors. These formatting tools work the same as many word processing tools.

In addition, you can click to add tables, spreadsheets, attachments, and images to your page.

Adding Paragraph Styles

The    icon on the toolbar displays the available paragraph styles. These paragraph styles make it easy  to format text and maintain a consistent style within notebook pages. The styles include Normal for most paragraphs, six levels of Headings to identify section titles,  Address to make text italic, and Preformatted to use when you want to display text in Courier font. These styles cannot be modified, but you can use the editing options to format a style differently - change the font, size, color, etc.

Adding tables to your page

Adding tables to your page is a three-part process. You add a table, configure the table properties and then add content to the table. To add a table, click the table icon, on the toolbar, select Insert Table and then select how many rows and columns should be in the table.

Adding a spreadsheet to your page  

To add a spreadsheet, click the spreadsheet icon, on the toolbar. A six-column spreadsheet is added to the page. Spreadsheets can be used to create  databases to keep track of lists of activities, schedules, tasks to do, etc. The spreadsheet includes basic spreadsheet functionality and a set of predefined functions.

Adding attachments to your page

You can upload files that link from your page. You are notified if you upload a file that already exists.

Adding images to your page

You can upload images to display on your page. You are notified if you upload an image that already exists.

Linking to a notebook page or to a web pages

You can link to other Documents notebook pages or to an external web URL and  give the link a descriptive title so the URL address does not display.

You can create links to pages that have not been created by typing a Keyword.  For example, if you type  ZimbraNotebook on a page, if the page exists, a link is automatically created, if the page does not exist, the word becomes a link and the page is automatically created.
