FAQs
Is the editor available for everyone to use? Do I need to download anything in order to use the editor?The old editor made use of the fonts on your computer, so you may notice there are less fonts available to use. The fonts you see in the new editor are stored on our server and are similar to the fonts you will find in any online email solution, including Gmail and Yahoo.
It is good practice to use common fonts. Doing so ensures your recipients will see the effect you’ve created. When sending email, the recipient won’t see the font you use unless they have it on their computer.
In the old editor, you set your page size and margins when editing your letter:
Now you set your page size and margins after you preview the letter. So when editing the letter, just click the Preview button at the bottom of the page > then set your page size and margins from the Preview window:
One of the easiest ways is to use a table. Just click the Table 
icon > Insert table > and select how many rows and columns you want. If you want some text or images on the left, some in the center, and some on the right, you can add a 3 column table as shown below.
Unfortunately headers and footers aren’t supported. You can try adding a header/footer, but you’ll have to insert the header and footer on each page manually, since the editor doesn’t support them. If you do this, you’ll have to preview the template to see where the page breaks are and make sure the header and footer appear in the correct location.
Using the Table feature, you can insert a table to create a header/footer (see below). To do this, click the Table icon > Insert table > insert a table with 3 rows and 1 column.
The editor doesn’t support page numbering, so the only way is to manually add them by entering the page numbers. This will require you to preview the template to see where the page breaks are and make sure the page numbers appear in the correct location.
If you want your page numbers to appear either in the center of the letter or on the right, you can insert a table (see below).
Click the Table icon > Insert table > insert a table with 2 rows and 1 column.
The body of your letter can go in the 1st row, while your page number can go in the 2nd. Once you’ve entered your page number, select whether you want it to appear in the center 
or on the right
