# Format a memo with headings, tables, images and more

Type **/** on a new line to add a block, such as a heading, a list or a table, or just type Markdown and watch it turn into formatting. Select text to style it. Every memo is stored as Markdown, so what you see in the editor is exactly what your AI assistant reads and writes, and what you get when you download it. Structure pays off twice: headings let people and assistants jump straight to the section they need, and tables and task lists give them something precise to update.

## Add a block with the slash menu

Type **/** and pick from the menu, or keep typing to filter it:

- **Heading 1**, **Heading 2**, **Heading 3**

- **Bullet list** and **Numbered list**

- **Task list**, for tick boxes

- **Quote**

- **Code block**, with a language picker for colouring code

- **Table**, which starts as three columns and three rows with a header row

- **Divider**

- **Image**, which opens a file picker

If you already know Markdown, type it instead. `## ` at the start of a line becomes a heading, `- ` a bullet, `1. ` a numbered list, `> ` a quote and three backticks a code block, as you type. Typing **:** followed by a word suggests emoji.

## Format text

Select some text and a toolbar appears with **Bold**, **Italic**, **Underline**, **Strikethrough**, **Inline code**, **Superscript**, **Subscript**, **Link**, **Clear formatting** and **Comment**. **Turn into** changes the whole block, for example from text to a heading or a list.

Keyboard shortcuts (use Ctrl instead of Cmd on Windows):

| Shortcut | Does |
|---|---|
| Cmd+B, Cmd+I, Cmd+U | Bold, italic, underline |
| Cmd+Shift+S | Strikethrough |
| Cmd+E | Inline code |
| Cmd+K (with text selected) | Add a link |
| Cmd+Shift+M | Comment on the selection |
| Cmd+/ | Open the menu for the selection or block |

## Move, copy and change blocks

Hover over a block and click its handle (**Block options**) to:

- **Turn into** another kind of block.

- **Duplicate**, **Move to top** or **Move to bottom**, or **Delete** it.

- **Copy link to heading** or **Copy link to block**, to send someone straight to that spot.

- **Comment** on it.

## Work with tables

Click into a table and open its menu to **Add row above** or **Add row below**, **Add column before** or **Add column after**, move, duplicate or delete a row or column, align a column (**Align left**, **Align center**, **Align right**), or **Delete table**.

## Add and size images

Use **Image** in the slash menu, or drag an image file into the memo. Images can be PNG, JPEG, WebP or GIF, up to 5 MB each.

To change how an image sits, open its **Block options**:

- **Width**: **Fit** keeps it in the text column; **Wide** lets it spread out.

- Size: **Original size**, **Small**, **Medium**, **Large** or **Full**.

- **Align**: **Left**, **Centre** or **Right**.

You can also drag an image's edges to resize it.

## Show a table of contents

Open the memo's menu (**More**) and choose **Show contents**. A contents list built from your headings appears beside the memo. **Hide contents** closes it.

## Present a memo

Choose **Start presentation** from the memo's menu to show the memo as slides, full screen. Each **Divider** starts a new slide, so put a divider between the parts you want on separate slides. The first image on a slide gets its own panel beside the text. Use the arrow keys, **Space** or **Enter** to move between slides and **Esc** to leave.

## Have your AI assistant do it

Because a memo is Markdown, a connected assistant (see [Connect Claude to Fieldwerk](https://help.fieldwerk.ai/pz1hhc2mwy.md) or [Connect ChatGPT to Fieldwerk](https://help.fieldwerk.ai/exh83fg13f.md)) can restructure it as easily as write it:

```prompt
In Fieldwerk, turn the dates under the Timeline heading of my launch plan memo into a table with columns Date, Milestone and Owner.
```

```prompt
In Fieldwerk, add a row to the table in my supplier contacts memo for Acme Ltd, contact Jo Smith, jo@example.co.nz.
```
