Frequently Asked Questions

Q. I am having trouble making style changes to text

A. Sometimes making a style change will not appear to change anything. This is because WebLearner is an HTML editor, and not a word processor. It is possible that the change you are applying is being overridden by another style change. If you cannot make Weblearner do what you need then there is always the 'remove styles' button (marked above). This removes ALL formatting from your page, and converts it to plain text. This is especially useful for documents that have been pasted in from a word processor.

A. Here is a list of all the features currently enabled in WebLearner:
