The Text Editor shows up in various places in your Connect software, including email message boxes and the need-description box.

3. Click Ok. Your selected text will now be shown as a link.

3. Click Upload to open the Upload dialog box.
   
4. Click Add Files.
5. After browsing to the desired image file, select it and click Open.
