Important change to Security Settings
- Digital Stream has introduced a 'Timeout' process in all Xstream modules. You will periodically be asked to enter your user name and password.
- This will not affect the page you are working on and you
WILL NOT lose any unsaved work.
Important note about copying and pasting from other programmes
- If you copy content from
Microsoft Publisher or some versions of
Microsoft Word and paste into Xstream Content Management or other Xstream modules, you may find problems with formatting and saving pages. This is because Publisher has a number of strong commands that are not web-friendly.
- Some of these commands are not removed when you press 'Correct Formatting', hence the errors in saving and displaying your pages.
- In the unlikely event that you encounter these problems, we suggest that you paste your text from Publisher into Notepad and then copy from Notepad and paste into Xstream. To open Notepad, press
Start, then
Run and enter
notepad into the dialogue box.
Content Editing
- Enter on your keyboard does a full return, e.g. puts a space between the next line of content
- Shift Enter does a hard return, e.g. puts the next line of content under the above one
