Note
All settings in the Text Formatting dialog are in fact CSS style rules. When you change
one or more settings, the selected text gets wrapped in a Span element that has an inline
style tag containing the selected setting(s). Click the Advanced button to add CSS
properties and values to the inline style tag of the Span directly. For more information
about CSS, see "Styling and formatting" on page645.
Formatting a paragraph
Through the Paragraph Formatting dialog you can set the line height and first indent of a
paragraph, and specify how to handle page breaks before, in and after the paragraph. It also
lets you add spacing and a border; see "Spacing" on page686 and "Border" on page675.
To open the Paragraph Formatting dialog, select a paragraph (see: "Selecting an element" on
page550) or place the cursor in a paragraph, and then select Format > Paragraph.
For an explanation of all options in this dialog see: "Paragraph Formatting dialog" on page807.
