The Graphical Editor or WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor allows you to edit and style your articles without knowing HTML. Below is the Graphical Editor Toolbar.
The Graphical Editor works in a very similar manner to Microsoft Word and other desktop word processor apps.

The graphical editor allows you to format text the way you want it to appear on your site. You can change font sizes, faces, and colors. There are two ways to perform each of the following functions. You may first make the formatting change, and then begin typing in the new format, or you may highlight some existing text and then choose a format for the highlighted text.
The graphical editor allows for a number of functions to format paragraphs and lists in your text. Paragraphs can be aligned to the left, right, center, or be fully justified. The graphical editor can be used to create multi-level ordered and unordered lists, such as outlines. Line breaks and horizontal rules will also be discussed in this section.
An anchor can point to any resource on the Web: an HTML page, an image, a sound file, a movie, etc. When using named anchors you can create links that can jump directly into a specific section on a page, instead of letting the user scroll around to find what he/she is looking for.
YourWebPress offers support for both creating and modifying tables within the editor. This functionality dramatically expands your capability to create more dynamic articles, as well as the ability to modify existing tables much easier than before.
