Responsibilities of Content Editors

Content Editors are responsible for the text and media inside of the department's website.  It is also the responsibility of content editors to keep information on the website up-to-date and current.  This includes ensuring that hyperlinks that are inserted into the website are still active.

Copying from Microsoft Word or Word Processor

It has been the experience of our users that when they copy in content from a word processor, such as Microsoft Word, the formatting of the page becomes jumbled or incoherent.  We highly recommend that you clear the formatting from your text and format it using the in-browser editor.  

To do this, highlight the text containing the formatting and click the eraser icon (shown below)
