This update also fixes some bugs that appeared in a recent update at the end of November. Specifically, your text could be partially or even completely truncated under certain conditions: you were writing text and after saving, some sentences disappeared. This problem is now corrected.

Add an image

Click on the dedicated button in the toolbar and choose the image on your computer. You can also drag and drop your file directly into the editing area. Once the image is added, you can resize it and move it if needed thanks to the buttons located at the top left and bottom right of the image.

To access the image properties, simply right-click on it to display the contextual menu.

Add a file

Click on the dedicated button (paper clip) in the toolbar and choose the file on your computer. You can also drag and drop your file directly into the editing area.

Add and configure a table

The "Table" function has been revised. Click on the dedicated button in the toolbar and a small window will appear allowing you to quickly configure the new table. Then right click on the table to customize it (add a row, a column, color a cell, ...).

Add an emoticon

72 emoticons are available to embellish your pages and grouped messages:

Create a colored box and change the text size

The toolbar contains two new drop-down menus: "Styles" and "Size." The first one offers you predefined styles to add, for example, a red box with important text. The second allows you to easily change the size of the text.

Colorize text

This feature was disabled two weeks ago, we are pleased to inform you that it is back! By the way, the color palette has been slightly reworked and now offers you more vivid colors (especially red).

Undo/Redo

The first line of the toolbar also contains buttons to help you write your content. You can now undo/redo all your changes very easily using the dedicated arrows or keyboard shortcuts. An icon also allows you to "cut" content in the clipboard, and another one allows you to paste content from Word in order to keep its properties (color, text size, images, etc...).

Display the editor in full screen

Need more space to write your content comfortably? A new button "Enlarge" appears to allow you to switch to "Full Screen" mode. Click again on this same button to exit this mode and return to the normal view.

The BalleJaune team wishes you a happy holiday season!
