This is the MSN Message Editor Toolbar
it has many functions with numerous icons located on it.  Each one has the ability to add pazazz and flair to the messages you can add to the message board.  Including but not limited to just some of the things I will attempt to explain below.  Just have fun with it and see what you can come up with.  #1 you can't hurt it... It won't break lol... So try each icon and see where it takes you.

Hyperlinking Text & Graphics
 
Use this icon to hyperlink text and graphics to sites you wish to have them access.  To do this either highlight the text or click on the graphic so that it is highlighted and then click the icon from your message board editor or from your page editor.
This box will pop open
Type in the link (site address) you would like your text or graphic to go to when it is clicked.  Then click Insert and save your page.  Test it by clicking the text or graphic you used to hyperlink the site.
 
You can also hyperlink specific community pages by using the drop down arrow located here.

 
Inserting E-Mail Addresses
You can also insert email addresses using the  hyperlink icon.  Simply click it and when the box pops open drop down the arrow on the left side of the box and choose  mailto: and type in the full email address in the space provided.  Then click insert and save your page or send your message if you're on the message board.
 

 
This is the Insert Picture Icon
When you click it... this box will pop up... You will have a complete list of communities that you are a member of listed on the left side of the dialog box.  You can choose any of the communities by simply clicking on their name and wait for the drop down box to appear that will include a listing of all of that communites photo albums. (example below)
 
 
I chose my own personal photo album called BluesBabe.  As you can see the drop down lists the albums that are in my community "BluesBabe".  By simply clicking an individual album like "Native American" as I did... The photos begin appearing on the right side of the screen.  To choose one to add to a message board simply click the photo that is displayed.  You will see it highlighted around the edge and then click the Add Photo button.  Wait for the photo dialog box to do its work and it will go back to the "Message Editor and take the photo that you chose along with it. 
 

 
OTHER ICONS
 
this icon paints your background different colors (useful with tables)
this icon selects text color (highlight your text and select this icon then chose color)

 this icon makes bold type (you may need to highlight your text)
 this icon makes italic type
 this icon underlines text

  this icon makes bullet lists
this icon indents to the left
this icon indents to the right

this icon makes tables (more about tables later)

 
you can change your text size using this icon.  The following box opens and displays different sizes.
 

 
This is useful for changing the design on your pages.  I sometimes use "other font" feature because I like to use "Tahoma" font on most of the pages I build.  One word of caution.  If you are using a super fancy font that you had to download and install from a separate source,  it may not be able to be seen by those who do not have it installed... so keep it simple unless you plan to provide the font for download.
 
 

 
You can choose different paragraph styles using this tool.
