Formatting text fields

When adding or editing items, you can change the appearance of text, insert links, images, horizontal lines, and tables, and check spelling in multi-line text fields. You can also insert stamps in these fields to mark changes or comments and print contents of a field.

Note: Text field formatting is not available for test case and test run steps.

1. Click in the text field to format.

The formatting toolbar is displayed. You can change the local options to always show the toolbar in text fields. See Setting formatting options.

2. Click a button on the toolbar to apply any formatting or insert content.

Note: You can paste content from external sources, such as Microsoft Word documents and web sites, but some formatting may be changed or removed.
