The Package File dialog saves the template with the print presetsas a package file. Package

l

Paragraph Formatting dialog
The Paragraph formatting controls how the selected paragraph is formatted. It is accessed by
placing the cursor within a paragraph and then selecting Format > Paragraph on the menu.
All settings in this dialog are in fact CSS properties. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) were
originally designed for use with web pages: HTMLfiles. Since Designer templates are HTML
files, they are styled with CSS. To learn how to use CSS in the Designer, see "Styling and
formatting" on page238 and "Styling templates with CSS files" on page239. For information
about specific properties and their options, see W3Schools CSS Reference.
For information about text and how to style it see "Text and special characters" on page233
and "Styling text and paragraphs" on page248.
Formats tab
l
General group:
l
Line-height: Specify the height of each line in the element's text, in measure or
percentage. Note that this is not spacing between lines, but rather the complete
height of the line itself including the text. Equivalent to the line-height property.
l
Align: Select how text should be aligned, such as left, center, right or
justify. Equivalent to the align property.
