   In the Page Name field, enter a name for your page with no spaces. Use dash if you want to separate words. This name becomes the system name of the page within CMS, and it will become part of the page's URL, so it's best to keep it short and simple.

Editing a Page

Editing a Page

The content WYSIWYG editor  (acronym for  “What You See Is What You Get.”) integrated into Cascade Server has almost the same functionality as a standard editor.  To insert or edit content, simply type in your text, or paste from an external source, just as you would in a standard word processor, such as Microsoft Word. If you copy and paste your text from Microsoft Word,  click the “Clear Formatting” option under "Format" button to clean up the source document's formatting.  You also can use "Past as Text" option under "Edit" button to make sure that your content will be displayed in the website's default fonts.

You can open the editor in full screen mode. To do this, click the “Full Screen” button .  To close the full screen mode, click the button again.
