Available for all item types

Use the TEXT component to add localizable text strings to your eWizard items.

To add this component to your item, drag TEXT from the Components tab on the elements panel to the item layout.

Once the text component is added to the item layout and isn't modified, it's displayed in the EDIT mode, but not in the Editor PREVIEW mode.

To add the required text:

1. Double-click the component on the layout and enter your text.

Keep each text component under 7,000 symbols to ensure their proper display across all email clients.

2. Go to the customization panel to access the text Properties with the WYSIWYG editor.

Landing pages and their briefs

You can format your text as a heading or paragraph with the heading styling options on the Properties tab. Applying the Heading 1 value to the text streamlines its visibility for search engines.

Along with common text, eWizard Editor offers you fixed text—a type of text component with preset properties predefined by the item template. Since the WYSIWYG editor is available in the read-only mode for the fixed text component, use inline editing to modify the text.

You can also configure the text component position and style, add actions and animation to it on the dedicated Editor tabs.

Code view

Available for emails, email fragments, and email briefs

You can view and edit the HTML code of the text component with the Code view option.

To edit the HTML code of the text component:

1. Select the text component on the layout.

2. On the Properties tab, click < >.

Text on the layout appears with the HTML markup.

3. Edit the required values.

You can edit only text-related HTML tags within the text component, ensuring correct HTML syntax. The Code view functionality doesn't support adding or editing image, video, or button-related tags within text components.

4. Click the <> button again to apply your changes and preview the result on the content item layout.

5. Click SAVE in the Editor upper-right corner when the item editing is complete.

Fonts and colors

eWizard supports any font with the Server license. In Editor, you can find all available fonts in the Font family list on the Properties tab. Not web safe fonts are marked with .

If the required font is missing in the font list, direct your request to eWizard Support.

When customizing text components, you can learn more about the updated Font policy used in eWizard. For this, follow the link in the text properties or go to eWizard legal papers.

Font rendering in your emails depends on the target email client and operating system. You can check it before sending the email with the Send a test or Device simulator options. If the target email client or operating system doesn't support the font used in your email, it's automatically replaced with a fallback font from the list.

You can also apply individual color picker for item customization. Depending on the email template, choose theme color for the text, email, block, and component background.

Line height depends on the Font size value. You can select the font size from the drop-down or enter the required value manually up to 400px.

Formatting

Click the text component on the layout, select the required text, and right-click it to open more options:

Comment on the component

Alternatively, you can use the Ctrl+C shortcut to copy the text to the clipboard.

To paste the text from the clipboard:

1. Select the desired place of the text component on the layout.

2. Right-click it to open the context menu.

3. Paste the copied text:

  • with formatting using the Keep source formatting option.

  • as plain text with the Keep text only option. Alternatively, use the Ctrl+V or Ctrl+Shift+V keyboard shortcuts.

If your browser doesn't support clipboard actions, use only the keyboard shortcuts.

Once you've pasted the copied text, use buttons that appear on the layout to change the text formatting in the following way:

Paste method

Description

Keep text only

Apply source formatting

We recommend using the Keep text only option to avoid unexpected issues with text styles after applying the source formatting. You can then manually set the required styles with the WYSIWYG editor.

To remove the formatting of the text:

1. Select the required text.

2. Right-click and select Clear formatting.

Start text formatting from scratch.

Format painter

To copy the formatting of one text component and apply it to another, do the following:

1. Select the required part of the text or the whole text with formatting on the layout.

2. Activate the Format painter function in one of the following ways:

  • Right-click the text and select Format painter from the context menu.

  • Go to Properties and click the icon in the TOOLS section.

The cursor is turned into the paintbrush cursor. It means the formatting is copied and ready for application.

3. Click the desired text component to apply the copied formatting.

Text upload

Aside from entering the text manually, you can also upload it from your Veeva Vault documents. For this:

1. Select the text component on the layout.

2. Go to its Properties.

3. Click BROWSE.

4. Select the VEEVA VAULT tab in the assets selection pop-up that appears:

  • Log in to your account if you're not authorized.

  • Use the metadata filters on the left to find the necessary text.

5. Select the required text document and check its metadata in the Details section.

Also, you can preview the required text document with the button.

6. Click ADD.

The text from the selected Veeva Vault document appears on the layout.
