Source: Clicking this button will open a view with the source code/script/markup that is used to build the WYSIWYG view. As you make changes in the WYSIWYG view, the source code is updated automatically by the system in the background.

If you are familiar with HTML, you can tweak the code and make adjustments using by manipulating the source code.

Select All: Clicking this button will select all of the content in the editor.

You can also use the shortcut keys "Ctrl+A" to select all just as you can in Microsoft Word.

Erase / Delete: If you select text or an image in the editor and then click this button, it will erase / delete the selected item(s).

You can also use the shortcut keys "Ctrl+X" to erase selected items.

Cut: If you select text or an image in the editor and then click this button, it will cut the selected item(s). The difference between cutting and erase/deleting is that when you cut the selected item disappears but is placed on your clipboard so that you can re-paste it elsewhere in the editor. Erase/deleting just makes it disappear.

You can also use the shortcut keys "Ctrl+X" to erase selected items.

Paste from Word: If you have pre-written content using Microsoft word, use this button to paste the content into the editor. If you paste from Word and do not use this button, you may inadvertently paste background code from Microsoft Word that the WYSIWYG editor cannot handle. Using the button strips out unnecessary Word code while maintaining the styles you used in Word.

Undo: Clicking this button will undo the last change you made. For example if you just deleted something, it will reappear.

You can also use the shortcut keys "Ctrl+Z."
