Drop down to change font in Prod Desc not there?

Hello,

I am setting up a new Zen Cart site. When I enter the description for a product I am not getting bar along the top to pick font, size, color, bold, etc. How to do I turn it on?

On my main site it is there but I did not set that site up so I am not sure what I am missing?

Thanks

... Attributes, Force to Select

Right now I can add to the cart and not select a color.. BAD. I am automatically linked to the shopping cart with the default color Black, but really I wanted White..

The beauty of this procedure: Is a warning box appears at the top of the page stating they have not selected a attribute color you offer to the customer.

Example of what it should look like in the Option Value Manager:

(Add the following Option Values below)

1. I used color as an example: Use the option name value you would like:
2. The 0, 10, 20, 30 are sort orders below

Please Select Color 0
Black 10
Brown 20
White 30

Now in Attribute Controller for the product with this Option Name Value:

1. Add, Please Select Color to product, sort order 0
2. Associate the flag properties to Please Select Color
3. Under Attribute Flags: the colored boxes
4. Yellow box, Used for Display purpose only: Click Yes
5. Tan box, Default Attribute to be marked selected: Click Yes
6. Add, the following black, brown, white also with sort orders, and leave the flag properties to default (do not touch)

Thanks to Haredo, this is resolved. It turns out you should:

• Go To admin panel/ configuration/ my store/ html editor, change to HTMLArea
• Go to admin panel/ catalog/ products - category/ notice on the right top Text Editor: Change the drop down to HTMLArea

Thanks again to Haredo who showed awesome patience and was willing to help regardless of what ended up being the issue.
