The myCourses text editor has been updated to take advantage of responsive design, and to make it easier to use. Significant differences are explained below.

You may notice that the toolbar changes with the width of your screen or browser window. This makes it easier to use on smaller screens. The controls move down to the next row if there is not room to display them. The toolbar will never be clipped.

	Use the More… button in the upper right to expand or collapse the toolbar. This replaces the Show More  button.
	Highlight text, then use the Clear Formatting button to remove unwanted formatting, and set the text to the default style. This replaces the eraser button
	When you paste formatted text from Word or other programs, myCourses asks if you would like to Remove Formatting or Keep Formatting. Choose Remove Formatting to keep your text consistent and professional.
	The Insert YouTube , Image , Media , and Mashups buttons have been replaced with the Add Content button. Click to open a dialog box that asks you to select a content type. When videos are added, a video preview is created automatically.
	The Insert Math Equation button has replaced the Launch Math Editor button.
	The Accessibility checker is built into the toolbar. Be sure to use it on all of your course content!

Additionally, text entered into the editor appears in a dark gray color, with no spaces between adjacent paragraphs.

When your content is saved and published, text appears black, and space is added between paragraphs.
