# Configure text settings

In your email texts, you inform users about events, sales, etc.

This article explains how to:

- [Add a text block](/docs/new-editor-configure-text-settings#add-a-text-block)
- [Insert an image into your text block](/docs/new-editor-configure-text-settings#insert-an-image-into-your-text-block)
- [Add links to text](/docs/new-editor-configure-text-settings#add-links-to-text)
- [Improve your text with AI](/docs/new-editor-configure-text-settings#improve-your-text-with-ai)

## Add a text block

To add the text block:

1. Drop the 1-column structure into your email template.

2. Drop a **Text** block into it, or click the **Text** button right in the structure.

3. Enter your text. A block can contain both regular text and headings.

To apply a **heading** to a piece of text, you need to highlight it with the mouse pointer and pick the **Paragraph Style** in the Text block menu.

4. With the text block in the **Settings** tab, you can set up the following:

- **Paragraph Style**: You can apply the headings to your text.
- **Text Style**: You can apply text styles such as bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, subscript, and superscript.
- **Text Alignment**: Center alignment is the default. If you need to change it, click **left**, **right**, or **justify****alignment**.
- **Increase Indent/Decrease Indent**: You can add/remove an indent to the text by highlighting the necessary word/text.
- **Fixed Height:** You can apply the desired block height without using the Code Editor and set its alignment.
- **Line Height**: The distance between the text lines in the text block. You use them to give your email a more formal or informal style. This is totally at your discretion.

## Insert an image into your text block

In addition to adding plain text, headings, and links, you can insert **images** directly into your text block. This option is useful for small inline elements such as icons, logos, or small images that should appear within a line of text.

To insert an image into your text:

1. Drop a **Text block** into your email template and, in its **Settings** panel, open the **Insert** section to click the **Image** button.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c6df4583-da94-4cb2-bb8a-be0cbdd11109/Images/Documentation/1(28).png)

2. The Image Library will open. Select an existing image or upload a new one.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c6df4583-da94-4cb2-bb8a-be0cbdd11109/Images/Documentation/2%20(2).png)

After selecting, the image will appear in the text at its **original** **size** and **aligned** to the **left** by default.

2.1. Click the image to open its settings menu, where you can:

- Set **Text Wrapping** to align the image to the right.
- Specify the required size.
- Add a **link**, **alt****text**, and border **radius**.
- Adjust **margins** to define the spacing around the image.

> Margins are not supported in Outlook.

2.2. Click on the text itself to edit it directly within the block.

## Add links to text

To add a link to text:

1. Highlight the necessary word/text and click the label **Chain** from the right **Settings** panel.

2. Then, in the settings panel, select the **link type** (protocol) that fits best and insert its data.

These options help you quickly enhance your content while maintaining control over the creative direction.

Imagine you’re working on a promotional email, and your starting point is: “Explore our product features.”

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c6df4583-da94-4cb2-bb8a-be0cbdd11109/Images/Documentation/4%20(2).png)

If you request “Rewrite it in two sentences,” AI could transform it into: "Discover what our product can do for you. Learn about its features!"

![](https://cdn.document360.io/c6df4583-da94-4cb2-bb8a-be0cbdd11109/Images/Documentation/5%20(2).png)

AI tools allow you to focus on creativity while automating repetitive tasks. Instead of sweating over grammar or sentence structure, you can direct your energy toward designing visually stunning templates or brainstorming innovative campaigns.

This streamlined approach not only enhances your content’s overall appeal but also frees up precious time for other priorities.
