Switching Editors

Choosing an Editor

There are 3 Editors built into the Music Biz Website Pro Builder

Active Editor - Basic Editor - Word Style Editor

The ActivEdit Editor is our advanced text editor similar to MS Word. You can Insert tables, hyperlinks and images with rollover text, it also gives you more fonts to choose from.

Attn: Mac Users
The ActiveEdit Editor is ONLY compatible with the
Mac OS X Safari Browser!

For info, please see Everything About the ActivEdit Editor.

The Basic Editor is straight HTML, you need to know HTML to use this editor. On occasion you will need to switch to HTML to insert HTML code. All the functions of the Basic Editor work the same for MAC and PC users.

For example, let's say you created a flash slide show at "rockyou.com." You would copy the HTML from their website and using the Basic Editor, paste the code in your website. Once you are done pasting the code you would switch back to the Active Editor. That's all there is to it!

We do have a short HTML tutorial if you are interested in learning some basics.

Sorry the Word-Style Editor does not work with Macs. Note, however, that ActivEdit is a more advanced text editor than Word-Style. You can change fonts, text colors, underline, bold and italicize. Most clients use the ActivEdit because there are more options.
