When copying and pasting text from external sources to the site, always paste text using the ‘Paste as Text’ option.
Forgetting to use this option may result in proprietary formatting being copied over to the website which will cause your web page to appear differently in non-Microsoft browsers and computers and may cause other errors or security issues.
Double spacing is achieved by simply hitting Enter; whereas single spacing is achieved by pressing Shift + Enter
Need to check spelling? The CMS will display a red line under any words that are misspelled.

Other helpful formatting tips to keep in mind:
Avoid underlining text that isn’t a link – Only links should be underlined.
Avoid unnecessary bolding or italicizing – Bolding of text on a page can help to draw attention to a statement, but should be reserved for titles, or occasional emphasis. Repeated use of this diminishes the impact and cake make a page look cluttered or sloppy.
Avoid overuse of Header styles – Try to use headers more for titles of sections and less for emphasis on certain sentences – as with the bolding, overuse will diminish the effect. Do not use heading styles on text that normally belongs in a paragraph or quote. If you want to draw attention to some text, simply bold or italicize it, within reason.
Do not use text characters (such as space, dash, underscore) for formatting – It may seem like a good idea to add spaces, dashes, etc. to add design styling, but these will be formatted differently in different browsers and will not look as you intended!
