The Text Box Editor allows users to create content through a simple editor within the Blackboard Learning System. This page allows users to choose whether or not WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) functionality will be enabled on their system. If this feature is enabled, users will have additional features available to them when entering content in many text boxes throughout the Blackboard Learning System. See the Text Box Editor topic for additional information.
Note: The Text Box Editor is only available to Windows Operating System users with Internet Explorer Version 5.x or a later version. System Administrators also have the option of turning off the WYSIWYG features for the Text Box Editor for all users. Users without WYSIWYG functionality have access to alternate Text Box Options.
