If you do NOT see 2 rows of buttons in your WYSIWYG, it is normally caused by one of two reasons.
1. The Text format of the page is not set to Full HTML (Most likely cause).
2. Your access level is not set to allow all of the functions.
To check on if the issue is the text format of the page:
1. Create a new draft of the page.
2. Go to the Text format box located just under the WYSIWYG area.
3. Next to the box titled Text format should be a drop down menu. Set it to Full HTML to see all of the WYSIWYG buttons.
If needed, an image of this is located on the Making Changes To An Existing Page section of this tutorial. The text format box is located in Area 5.
