The penultimate point - Delete formatting - is especially important when text elements are inserted from other sources, e.g. emails or MS Office documents. The formatting implicit in can lead to an incorrect view in the PDF. If this alone is not sufficient, we recommend converting the affected text area to "plain text" in a text editor and thus freeing it from all formatting.

Limitations of the rich text editor 

Not included in the rich text editor are options for editing:

  • Font size 

  • Font color

  • Font type

These settings can only be set up globally in the CSS style sheet. This ensures that consistent formatting is maintained for all documents according to the corporate CI.

Important to know: Text areas formatted in Flex in a template, e.g. size and color of the heading, are preserved - but only as long as they are not edited in the lightning editor. If a fixed formatting is desired here, the quote admin can provide the relevant area in the template with a CSS class and create the desired formatting for the CSS class at the client for this purpose.
