2. Select the "Toggle HTML View" button on the toolbar (appears as </>).

   where the gif URL appears as the source (src).
4. Place your courser between the last " and last > and add width="300". In the example above, this would be: 
   

   <img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/q1/jjptdlmmwgyo.gif"<b> </b>width="300">

5. Select the "Toggle HTML View" button on the toolbar.
