Changing text appearance on the page 81
To make text bold, italic, or underlined:
1. In your draft, select the text you want to change.
2. Do one of the following:
■ Click the Bold or Italic button in the text formatting toolbar.
■ Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), then select Bold, Italic, or Underline.
Note: This option is not available if you are working in a table.
■ Select Format > Bold, Format > Italic, or Format > Underline.
Tip: It is not good practice to use the underline style in web pages because website visitors
might mistake underlined text for link text. You should use a style other than underline to
emphasize text.
To make text strikethrough, emphasized, strong, or fixed width:
1. In your draft, select the text you want to change.
2. Do one of the following:

the options from the pop-up menu.
Note: This option is not available if you are working in a table.
■ Select Format > Other, and then select one of the options from the pop-up menu.
Note: Emphasis and Strong apply the same styles as Italic and Bold, respectively, but use different
HTML tags. Your Contribute administrator determines which tag Contribute actually inserts.
