The Editing Area is the space where user types the text in. It is also used to format the whole document.

The CKEditor Editing Area


If the content of the document is longer than the available space a scroll bar will appear. The scrollbar allows going up and down through the entire text. User may also move inside the text with keyboard keys, for example PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, HOME, END and ARROW KEYS.

Other important and useful function that needs to be mentioned in this user guide is the text selection (also called text highlighted). To select the text, User need to press mouse’s left button, hold it and cover the text with the highlight. Text will remain selected even after releasing the button.
