Where is it?

You’ll see the content editor in many spots - for example, while you’re:

• Editing the header or footer of event web pages
• Creating Custom Pages
• Adding a pop-up description to an Activity
• Adding a Presentation Profile
• Creating custom Messages for pages and emails
• Sending batch emails
• Customizing the public site template

The editor has a toolbar of options at the top. Hover over each one to see what it does:

By default, you’ll see this “WYSIWYG” editor format. (As in “What You See Is What You Get.”)

With it, you can create content and see a close approximation of how it will look on the finished web page.

Formatting text

These buttons let you customize your text content:

Highlight any text before applying these options. You’re likely already familiar with them in other editors:

• Bold
• Italic
• Numbered or bulleted lists
• Justifying left, right, or center
• Changing the color of text, or background color behind it

You can also use the menus to change the format, font, and size of any highlighted text:

Adding an image

You can add JPG or PNG images, and control their size and alignment.

For best results, it’s usually best to upload an image that’s close to the size you want to display it.

Step 1. Place your cursor where you want the image to be. Then click on the Image button:

Step 2. Click on the Upload tab.

Then click the Browse button. You’ll choose the image on your computer:

Step 3. Once you’ve chosen your image, click Send it to the Server:

Step 4. You’ll now be taken to the Image Info tab. MeetMax will fill in the URL of your newly-uploaded image.

You can also set up these details:

  • Alternative Text: You can add a description of the image content, for accessibility.

  • Width/Height: By default, you’ll see the size of the original image you uploaded. You can change it as needed. We lock the ratio of width to height, so you can change either one and the image will adjust accordingly.

  • Border: As an option, you can add a border to the image, measured in pixels.

  • HSpace and VSpace: You can add a margin to the side and top edges of the image.

  • Alignment: You can set the image to appear along the left or right edge of the page.

Step 5. Click OK to save the settings and insert this image.

	If you want to update any of these settings later, double-click on the image to reopen the settings box.
	The Link tab allows you to turn the image into a hyperlink to another web page. You can also use the steps below.

Adding a link

You can add a link to any text or image.

Step 1. Highlight the text (or click on the image) you need to link.

Then, click on the Link button:

Step 2. Use the Link Type menu to choose what kind of link you want:

  • URL: Opens another web page

  • Link to anchor: Jumps the reader to a different point in the text

  • E-mail: Starts a new email to the email address you specify, using your default email app

  • Phone: Starts a phone call to the linked number (assuming you’re on a mobile device)

Step 3. Let’s proceed with a web page link. In the URL field, type or paste in the URL you need to link to.

If you want this link to open in the same browser window, click OK to save:

Step 4. If you want the link to open in another window, head to the Target tab, and choose how you want this link to open:

In many cases, you’ll use the New Window option. For example, let’s say you’re creating a link to a hotel reservation page on your own website. Your Attendee might be midway through registering for your event when they click this link. If the link opens as a new window, the Attendee won’t lose their place in the registration process.

Click OK to save this setting:

Adding a table

You can use tables in two ways in MeetMax:

• To format information, with a visible table structure
• As an invisible structure that places text and images in specific arrangements

Step 1. Place your cursor where you want the table to be. Then click the Table button:

Step 2. The Table Properties box opens automatically. Many of the settings here are optional, so you can customize the table to your needs:

  • Rows/Columns: Enter the number of each you’ll need.

  • Width/Height: Enter the overall width of the table in pixels. MeetMax automatically adjust column widths to fit the content within that overall width. You can also enter a height, but if you’re entering data into the table, leave this at zero. You’ll have the flexibility to add more rows using the Tab key.

  • Headers: You can designate the first row or first column as your table’s headers.

  • Border Size: Add a width in pixels, and MeetMax adds a border around the outside of the table. Set this to zero if you want your table as an invisible structure for content.

  • Alignment: You can have the table appear on the left, center, or right of the page. (You can also use the text formatting buttons to align text within cells.)

  • Cell Spacing: Enter a width, and MeetMax inserts that margin of space around each cell in the table.

  • Cell Padding: Enter a width, and MeetMax places that margin of space around the content in each cell.

  • Caption: Enter text to display as a heading above the table.

Step 3. Click OK to save your settings and insert the table.

If you want to make adjustments to your settings, right-click on the table. A menu appears, where you can update individual settings or re-open the Table Properties:
