How to prepare a description in text field
Text field is essentially similar to other text editors. These buttons and menus allow changing the size, font, style and placement of text similar to editing text in Word. However, it also contains a couple of additional functions:

* When clicking on button "Horizontal line": , a thin horizontal line with page width will be added. Such as this:


This function is good for separating different sections of description or for emphasising certain sections.

* By selecting part of the text and clicking on "Insert link": ,you can create a link to another page. In new window insert the address in the form of http://www.requestedaddress.ee/.
For example: select text by using cursor "click here to go to osta.ee front page" and by clicking on "Insert link" and entering the address http://www.osta.ee, you will get the following result: click here for direct link to osta.ee front page
Use links to refer to the website of product manufacturer, detailed product description, etc.

* By clicking on "Insert table" , you can insert a table in description.
Main table parameter is the number of rows and columns in a table.

This table has 2
rows and 4 columns

By using cursor to select one or more cells you can determine the background and font colour. (Does not work with Internet Explorer)

Layout parameters can be used for changing the width of table borders and table placement with regard to the text and other tables.
