Blackboard now includes a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor. This makes it very simple to create formatted content in Blackboard. Using familiar tools, you can format text (color, font, etc) and paragraphs (indents, bullets, etc). You can even copy and paste text from Microsoft Word, and it will retain it's formatting. The WYSIWYG Editor is available in most Blackboard text boxes.

Please Note: The WYSIWYG Text Box Editor is now cross-browser, cross-platform compliant. However, the Text Box editor in Safari is a "lite" version and does not include all of the options available in FireFox and Internet Explorer.

The WYSIWYG Text Box Editor is available by default for all new UNF Blackboard Users. However, legacy users will have to enable the WYSIWYG Text Box Editor. To enable the WYSIWYG Text Box Editor, click on Personal Information on the My Institution tab:
