The text window above is nearly identical to the Mail text window. The differences are the Post button replaces Send to and the Forum field replaces Send to. As with Mail, it is highly recommended that Preview be used before posting to a forum. It is important to note that the WebCT text fields do not recognize most of the formatting that we are accustomed to in using word processors. The text fields will ignore word processing tabs, tables, columns, font sizes and styles and other formatting features.
