Format content in the editor

The editor keeps document structure and formatting with your proposal so the same intent can carry into Word. Use the toolbar for common formatting, or type / on an empty line to open the insert menu for blocks and engineering symbols.

Format text and headings

Select text, then use Bold, Italic, Underline, or Strikethrough. Use Heading 2 and Heading 3 to create hierarchy inside a proposal section. More formatting contains Superscript and Subscript for technical notation.

On a phone, the compact toolbar contains Bold, Italic, Bullet list, and Numbered list. Use a tablet or desktop for the complete formatting toolbar.

Build lists that stay structured

Use Bullet list or Numbered list for a new list or selected paragraphs. Press Tab to nest an item under the item above, and Shift+Tab to move it back out. The first item cannot be nested until there is an item above it.

Nested numbering is exported as a real multilevel Word list, so Word can continue and renumber it instead of treating the numbers as typed text.

Add and open links

Select the words that should become a link, then select Link or press Ctrl+K on Windows and Cmd+K on a Mac. Enter an http, https, or email link and select Apply. If you omit the web protocol, EngiProse starts with https.

Open an existing link to edit its address, select Open link in a new tab, or choose Remove link while keeping the visible text. Links remain clickable in Word export.

Insert and adjust a table

Select Insert table to add a table with three rows, three columns, and a header row. When the cursor is inside the table, Table options lets you:

• Insert or delete rows and columns.
• Merge selected cells or split a merged cell.
• Toggle header rows, columns, or individual cells.
• Align cell content left, center, or right.
• Delete the table.

Drag a column boundary to change its width. Authored column proportions and cell alignment carry into Word, which is especially useful for fee tables.

Write engineering notation

Open More formatting to apply superscript or subscript to selected text. For common symbols, type / and search the Insert symbol group. It includes degree, plus-minus, diameter, micro, multiplication, delta, omega, comparison symbols, squared, and cubed.

Type a proper fraction such as 5/16 followed by a space to convert supported engineering denominators automatically. For any one-to-three-digit numerator and denominator, type /fraction, enter both values in Insert fraction, then select Insert. The result uses numerator and denominator formatting that also carries into Word.

Control pages and planned figures

Select Page break, or type /page break, where the next content should begin on a new Word page. The editor shows a labeled divider. Select it and press Backspace or Delete to remove it. A page break can sit between blocks in a proposal section, but not inside a list item, table cell, or quotation.

Select Insert image placeholder, or type /image placeholder, to reserve space for a figure that will be added after export. Describe the intended image and add an optional caption. EngiProse numbers placeholders as Figure 1, Figure 2, and so on, and updates the visible numbers when their order changes.

In Word, each placeholder becomes a bordered instruction block followed by its numbered caption. It is a marker for later image insertion, not an image upload.

Reorder content blocks

On desktop, move the pointer beside a paragraph, heading, list, table, or other supported block to reveal its drag handle. Drag the block to a new position, including another proposal section. A whole list or table moves as one block.

Section headings themselves are not moved with this handle. To change the proposal's section order, use the section controls described in Build your proposal sections.
