With the new HTML editor you now have the option of using the Basic Toolbar or Advanced Toolbar (see pictures below).

Advanced Toolbar: HTML Editor

 

It is my recommendation that you use the advanced toolbar which has many helpful features:

  • “Paste from Word” tool. This will be helpful when you type your discussion response into a Word document and want to copy and paste it into a D2L discussion topic.
  • Undo and Redo buttons. Let’s face it-we all make mistakes!
  • Text color. Highlight the text, click the dropdown arrow next to the “T” tool. Select a text color.
  • Inserting tables, images, custom characters, equations, objects, links. 

Please note: your spellcheck tool changes position when you switch from the basic toolbar (far left) to the advanced toolbar (far right).
