It appears that when setting up some text the initial typeface, colour and size if selected first work OK. However, if I then try to highlight some text and change the typeface or font colour the cursor just jumps back to the begining and nothing can be changed. However, doing this to change the font size does work OK.

I’ve found that the only workaround to this is to go into source and edit the html.

Yes, you’re right. The wysiwyg editor can get confused with multiple edits. There is an option in the editor toolbar to remove all formatting, which can be helpful to reset everything when you change your mind about formatting.

Editing the HTML is always a good option if you have the knowledge about that because there are so many more options that way.

Although I can format my text using your WYSIWYG editor, there seems to be an override someplace (perhaps in the stylesheets)? For example, I would like to list the question in bold text and the instructions “Select one” in plain text. But in preview mode everything looks bold. Is there a workaround? The italic (em) formatting is showing up in preview.

Hi lisa!

There is actually an override for some of the templates. In your CSS Template, look for the class sg_QuestionTitle. You’ll see a line that says:

font-weight:bold;

change it to

font-weight: normal;

That will allow your WYSIWYG editor to control the question title styles.
