Content Editor Web Part

Question Content Editor Web Part

    Does anyone know how to modify an existing HTML source code in a content editor web part?  I've found articles that indicate how to add a content editor web part and click in the white space to bring up the Editing Tools Tab and from there Edit the HTML source.

    But I'm wondering how do you modify the HTML source of a content editor web part that has already been added.  What I'm trying to do is see the HTML source code contents of an existing content editor web part that has already been added to a SharePoint page.  I click in a white space but the tab Editing Tools does not come up.

    If you are wondering what happened to Edit Source option of Content Editor Web Part i.e. CEWP in SharePoint 2010 then don’t worry, it has moved to Ribbon.

    Here is how you will edit source

    1. Click in the empty area of CEWP
    2. Under Editing Tools, click HTML and then Edit HTML Source as shown below.

    Hi

    I understand your problem is Tab not coming up otherwise you know how to edit it.

    Check if there are any java-script errors on the page.

    Regards

    I did that.  I clicked in an empty area of the CEWP but the tab Editing tools does not appear.  Instead only Page, Insert, and Options tab come up.  No Editing Tools tab.  The image currently in the CEWP does not have much white space.  I tried clicking wherever there was white space no new tabs appears.  Just the old ones remains.  Is there another way to veiw the HTML source of an existing CEWP?

    No Javascript errors.  If I view Source by right clicking, do you know what keyword I can look for?  Maybe I can view the HTML code from there.

    Try clicking on the title menu of the web part.  It can be a little cumbersom but it generally works for me.  If it doesn't show, edit the page (via Site Actions) and then click the web part title.  It should appear quite easily then.

    Can you upload a screenshot.  Text only responses will take forever and will, I suspect get us nowhere.

    I think the image takes up all the white space.  Therefore, I do not have any room to click on.  The link above I believe was referring to a different issue.  I'm just going to let this one go.  I'll probably have to delete the image and re-create it hoping there would still be some html source code.  Thanks for the help.
