To copy text from a web page

1 In the Layout Editor, Source Code Editor, or Preview window, select the text that you want to copy.

2 Do one of the following:

• Choose Edit > Copy. To place the insertion point, click inside a layout text box, table cell, layer, the current page

or another page. Choose Edit > Paste.

• Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and drag the selected text to the desired location.

You can also drag text from your collection of site assets in the Library palette to your page. (See “Snippets” on

page 429 and “Components” on page 427.)

To select a paragraph of text and the blank lines that enclose it

1 Click anywhere in the paragraph that you want to copy.

2 Click the last element tag that appears in the markup tree bar at the bottom of the document window. (Tags are

surrounded by angle brackets; for example <p> or <h1>.)

Click a tag in the markup tree bar to select the entire element.

Formatting paragraphs with HTML text attributes

Using HTML text attributes

GoLive provides a variety of ways to structure paragraphs of text by using HTML text attributes. You can create

headings and subheadings, align or indent paragraphs from the left and right margins, or create a numbered or

unnumbered list from multiple paragraphs. You can also control the flow of text in paragraphs by suppressing text

wrapping to keep text on the same line or adding a line break to control how text breaks around an adjacent object.

Then, once you’ve formatted the structure of your paragraphs, you can use CSS element styles to build on the struc-

tured text.

In addition to formatting text in the Layout Editor, you can also format text by using HTML text attributes while

working in the Source Code Editor or the source code pane in the document window.
