Appendix B: Using the Text Editors in Item Templates

This appendix provides instructions for using the text editor toolbar that is available for all item templates in Authoring. The text editor toolbar allows you to format text, create tables, and insert media uploaded from your computer. Any media files you upload for an item must be under 1.5 MB. Note, you should not add multimedia to any items you plan to administer in paper test booklets.
