Spell Check
For more advanced web designers, you may
wish to format your article using tables. Tables
can help you create different rows and columns
to properly space articles, pictures, etc.

view from the

html code if you have

Similar to MS Word, you can alter your article
just as you would a .doc file, rather than static
text
