User Guide

Note: The relative size attributes are part of the font element, which is known to interfere with cascading stylesheets in

the same page; therefore it’s safer not to use the font element and CSS in the same page.

1 Do one of the following:

• To format existing text, select the text.

• To format text you are about to type, click in the document window to place an insertion point.

2 Choose a size from the Type > Size menu or the Font Size pop-up menu on the toolbar:

• Choose a size between 1 and 7 to display a size relative to the browser’s preferences. Size 3 displays text at the

default font size set in the browser’s preferences, sizes 1 and 2 display text at a smaller size, and sizes 4 through 7

display text at a larger size.

• Choose a size between +1 and +7 to display text at a size that’s larger than the default or base font size of the

document (+1 displays text one font size larger and so on).

• Choose a size between -1 and -7 to display text at a size that’s smaller than the default or base font size of the

document (-1 displays text one font size smaller and so on).

To add color to text

You can add color to selected text without affecting the page’s default text color (as specified in the Page Inspector)

by using the Set Color menu in the Main toolbar, the Swatches palette, or the Color palette.

Note: If your page uses cascading stylesheets, you should use a CSS style to add color to text instead of these features.

These features use the font element which can interfere with cascading stylesheets.

1 Do one of the following:

• To format existing text, select the text.

• To format text you are about to type, click in the document window to place an insertion point.

2 Do one of the following:

• Click the lower right corner of the Set Text Color icon on the toolbar and select a color from the swatches that

appear. (The swatches displayed reflect the current settings in the Swatches palette.)

• Click the Set Text Color icon on the toolbar and use one of the color sliders to select a color from the Color palette.

(Choose Only Web Colors from the Color palette menu

to select only web safe colors). You can also click a

color in the Recently Used Colors list.

• Select a color in the Swatches palette.

GoLive applies the color to the selected text. If you selected text at the end of a line, the color remains in effect after

you press Return or Enter and continue typing.

You can also color selected text by dragging a color from the Colors tab in the site window to the selection in the page.
