Contents
The User's Guide contains information about CKEditor intended for end-users. It describes all features and options available in the application and shows how to use it to change the style and layout of the document as well as add media objects like images or Flash objects.
The User's Guide is divided into several sections accessible through the Table of Contents.
Each section outlines a problem area and gives its detailed description. To return to the main User's Guide page or to the pages from the same section, use the breadcrumb links located at the top of the page over the page title.
Some User's Guide pages, like this one, may be divided into sections. If this is the case, a Contents sidebar will appear in the upper right-hand corner of the page. Clicking one of the section title links from the sidebar will lead you to a selected article section.
Screenshots and Walkthroughs
Most problem areas explained in the User's Guide include screenshots that illustrate in detail how to perform an action described in the guide. The screenshots along with walkthrough descriptions will guide you through all steps necessary to achieve the desired result.

CKEditor Configuration
Because CKEditor is highly configurable, its features can be customized by a developer or a system administrator. This is the reason why not all of the functions described in the User's Guide may be available in your CKEditor instance.
Also note that CKEditor interface can be customized and displayed with a different skin — colors, icons, or size. This guide is based on the default editor interface that can also be seen on the demo site.
