I can't find the option to do......
Click the computer screen icon at the far right of the top row. It will say "Toggle fullscreen mode" when you hover over it. The editor will now appear in a pop-up with the full range of options available (e.g. tables).
The Text editor does not appear
Check the following points (in no particular order);
- Is the TinyMCE HTML editor enabled in Settings > Site administration > Plugins > Text editors > Manage editors?
- Is 'Use HTML editor' set in Settings > My profile settings > Edit profile?
- Is JavaScript enabled for my browser?
How can I enable a spell-check?
If you want the HTML editor to have a spell-check button, you need to install aspell 0.50 or later on your server, and enter the correct path to access the aspell binary in Administration > Server > System paths.
How we can disable the spell check button for specific instances in a quiz?
The spell check is very handy for most circumstances but a quiz where you are looking at spelling and punctuation in student responses kind of defeats the purpose of the question. You can use the theme CSS files to disable the button on a specific question type. Try:
.essay div[title='Spell-check'] {
display:none;
}
The spell check button should be displayed everywhere except on the essay question type response box.
