A snippet is industry sector-specific content that is inserted into a fact sheet either automatically when the sheet is loaded ('auto show') or on demand ('click to show')

• An 'auto show' snippet is one that automatically appears in the fact sheet when the sheet loads. The content of the 'auto show' snippet is consistent with the sector group of the viewer.
• A 'click to show' snippet is one that is dynamically inserted into a fact sheet when the user clicks on a 'click to show' hyperlink. The content of a 'click to show' snippet is consistent with the sector group of the viewer.

You use the keyboard sequences of Ctrl-c (to copy), Ctrl-x (to cut), and Ctrl-v (to paste). The standard toolbar icons have been turned off - in a website editor, they are more trouble than they are worth.

• If your browser is Internet Explorer, they allow you to inadvertantly paste potentially damaging code into the website whenever you copy from a Word document and paste into the editor.
• If your browser is Firefox, you cannot use these functions unless you alter your browser's security functions - and this is not a straightforward procedure.

What is straightforward, however, are the replacements to these icons.

• To copy something from Word (or any other wordprocessor) and paste it into the online editor:
  1. Copy your text in your normal way.
  2. Click in the main content space of the online editor
  3. Paste the text into the editor using keyboard sequence of Ctrl-v (Ctrl-v means depress the Ctrl key and, keeping it depressed, tap the "v" key)
• To copy something from within your document in the online editor to somewhere else in the document:
  1. Highlight the area you want to copy by dragging your mouse from the beginning to the end of the section
  2. Copy that section of text by using the keyboard sequence Ctrl-c (i.e. depress the Ctrl key and with it depressed, tap "c").
  3. Position your cursor at the place in the document where you want to copy the section to (i.e. paste)
  4. Paste the copied section using the keyboard sequence Ctrl-v.
• To cut something from within your document in the online editor and paste it somewhere else in the document:
  1. Highlight the area you want to copy by dragging your mouse from the beginning to the end of the section
  2. Cut that section of text by using the keyboard sequence Ctrl-x
  3. Position your cursor at the place in the document where you want to paste the section
  4. Paste the copied section using the keyboard sequence Ctrl-v.

The following 'rules' apply to images on this site:

• Photographs must be in a *jpg format
• Line drawings, with or without colour, must be in either a *.gif or a *.png format
• Images should be no wider than 600px
• Images should be no deeper than about 400px
• An image less than 100 pixels wide is usually too small to display its intended 'story'
• Images intended for left- or right-hand side positioning should be 300-400 pixels wide
• The file size of any image should not exceed 40kb
• Copy the images onto the server and into the appropriate folder using the 'Multimedia manager' (> Manage images > Upload images) listed on the main menu.
• You link to images from within the editor by clicking on the image button and entering the string ../images/xxxx/zzzz.zzz - where xxxx is the name of the folder into which you uploaded the image and zzzz.zzz is the name of the image.

Positioning images on the page requires a class statement to be manually added to the HTML image tag. You can do this after you've inserted an image tag using the WYSIWYG editor, or directly when you enter an image tag through the HTML editor.

The HTML image tag is structured as:
<img class="___" title="" src="../images/folderName/fileName" alt="" width="xxx" height="xxx" />

In order to be positioned on the page, the class statement must take one of three values:

• imgposr = position on the right and wrap text
• imgposl = position on the left and wrap text
• imgposc = centre on the page, no wrapping

Text entered into the title statement will be extracted and placed immediately beneath the image in the form of a title. The title statement will be automatically inserted into the alt statement, if the latter is empty.

This positioning and image titling is done by javascript on the user's side only - the functionality is not currently available on in the preview tab of the editor
