Narrative Editor

Use the Narrative Editor to edit sections of text. You can enter text in another program, such as MS Word, then copy and paste into Narrative Editor. Text will word wrap making it easier to enter descriptions on:

Code

Click to choose a Global Narrative.

Click the Insert / Replace (Ctrl+I) button to toggle between Append Insert and Replace Replace.

When the button shows Append Insert, selecting a Global Narrative will insert the Global Narrative text in the Narrative Editor.

When the button shows Replace Replace, selecting a Global Narrative will replace the text in the Narrative Editor with the Global Narrative text.

When the Global Narrative has a richer Content Type, the Content Type changes to match. The order, from plainest to richest, is Text, Markdown, HTML. The Content Type is never changed to a plainer type. When Company Settings does not allow the Content Type to be changed, the narrative keeps its Content Type and the Global Narrative content is inserted as plain text.
