Tip
  • Garoon uses TinyMCE as a rich text editor.
    https://www.tiny.cloud/

  • Unnecessary tags may prevent you from writing texts into the editable area as desired.
    Please display the HTML source and confirm that unnecessary tags do not exist.
    Please refer to “How do I get the source of the page?” (available only in Japanese) in FAQ to learn how to display the HTML source.
    If the problem persists after removing unnecessary tags, please consult your system administrator.

Note
  • Pasting tables/images created in Word or Excel into a rich text formatting field is not supported. Please use rich text formatting feature in Garoon to create tables/images, or attach the file you created.

  • In tables inserted without using the formatting function, you cannot use the edit functions such as making text highlighted and customizing the borders of tables.
