Working with the facttext-editor
 
For easier formatting of your texts, you can switch to the facttext-editor-mode. Functions similar to Word are available with the facttext-editor. Please note, that only very simple tables can be created with the facttext-editor.
In case you have problems to start the facttext-editor, please read the Technical Requirements.

When you delete a linked word with the "delete" button on your keyboard, the link code in the background is not completely deleted. This can lead to undesired complications in the text.

As the first step, select “create table” from the table menu. A pop-up window will open and you will be asked how many columns your table should have. The first row of the table will be created. Subsequently, one can supplement the table with further data, e.g., the number of rows. In addition you can position your cursor in the table and select the appropriate function from the table menu. Pasting pictures and links is not possible!
