Adding content to pages

Last updated 3/28/2012

Align text on a page

1 Select the text you want to align or simply insert the pointer at the beginning of the text.

2 Select Format > Align and select an alignment command.

Center page elements

1 Select the element (image, plug-in, table, or other page element) you want to center.

2 Select Format > Align > Center.

Note: You can align and center complete blocks of text; you cannot align or center part of a heading or part of a

paragraph.

Indent text

Using the Indent command applies the blockquote HTML tag to a paragraph of text, indenting text on both sides of

the page.

1 Place the insertion point in the paragraph you want to indent.

2 Select Format > Indent or Outdent, or select List > Indent or Outdent from the context menu.

Note: You can apply multiple indents to a paragraph. Each time you select this command, the text indents further from

both sides of the document.

Apply font styles

You can use HTML to apply text formatting to one letter, or to entire paragraphs and blocks of text in a site. Use the

Format menu to set or change font characteristics for selected text. You can set the font type, style (such as bold or

italic), and size.

1 Select the text. If no text is selected, the option applies to subsequent text you type.

2 Select from the following options:

• To change the font, select a font combination from the Format > Font submenu. Select Default to remove

previously applied fonts. Default applies the default font for the selected text (either the browser default font or the

font assigned to that tag in the CSS style sheet).

• To change the font style, select a font style (Bold, Italic, Underline, and so on) from the Format > Style submenu.
