Tips for formatting text:
Any rich text you paste from Microsoft Word will be automatically recognised and you will have the option to paste with or without formatting.
As a best practice, we recommend pasting without formatting to avoid any unwanted formatting that may or may not be visible in edit mode (despite being visible to learners).
