HTML for Extended Description and Web Comment fields

When creating catalogs for your website, HTML can be added to the Ad Copy Tab of the Extended Description to help format your text information, link to additional information, or better organize the information you want to present to customers. You will locate the Extended Description in Mail Order > Catalog Maintenance, then in the detail section on the product family use the right click option Edit Extended Description. For items which have been added to the Item Matrix Maintenance module, use the hammer option Edit Extended Description

HTML can also be added to the Web Comment field in the Textbooks > Course Requests module to add additional information on the website for a specific course/section.
