Best Practice: Clear Formatting When Pasting Text

• If you copy and paste text from another document, it might bring unwanted styles. To fix this:
  • Use the eraser tool in Dynamics to clear formatting:
    • Highlight all text
    • Click the ellipses (…) in the toolbar and select the eraser tool
  • Alternatively, use a tool like Edit > Paste as plain text to clean formatting before pasting.

Option: Use the Text Editing Toolbar

• At the top of your screen, you’ll see the Text Editing Toolbar (just below the From and Subject Line section).

• You can use this toolbar to:

  • Bold or italicize text

  • Change alignment

  • Add links

  • Adjust text size

  • Select fonts

  • Add emojis

Option: Add Email Links

• If you’re adding a contact email in the text, be sure to use the mailto: format. (Example: mailto:example@csusm.edu)

Step 6: Save Your Changes

• Once you’re done making edits, don’t forget to click Save at the top-right corner.
