How to Use Image Resize With Wygwam
Wygwam is a server-side user interface that developers can install on a website's content management system in order to make article layout and formatting more familiar for end users. Based on Microsoft Word, Wygwam aims to mimic the usability of Word's edit features and facilitate uploads with a "paste from Word" feature that preserves any formatting work that was done in Word. The editor is built on CKEditor's code base and uses that platform's image editing settings.
