Formatting Text

Formatting in Cadmus is designed to feel a lot lighter than other text editors. There are no pages, and formatting options are available to help you structure and format your writing while keeping the focus on your content.

NOTE: If your assessment instructions include formatting requirements that aren’t available in Cadmus, please reach out to your teacher for clarification.

You can access all of Cadmus’ formatting options from the Formatting Toolbar above your work.

From the Formatting Toolbar, you can:

Create titles, headings and block quotes using the text style dropdown
Change the font and font size
Adjust line spacing
Bold, italicise, underline and strikethrough text
Superscript and subscript
Align text
Create numbered, bulleted and checklists
Indent text
Highlight text and change font colours
Add images
Add links
Add tables
Add code
Undo and redo

We’ve got shortcuts for all the formatting options, too!
