All settings in this dialog are in fact CSS properties. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) were
originally designed for use with web pages: HTMLfiles. 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 page251 and "Styling templates with CSS files" on page253. For information
about specific properties and their options, see W3Schools CSS Reference.
Click the Advanced button to enter CSS properties and values directly.
The Apply button lets you preview the template with the new settings.
For information about text and how to style it see "Text and special characters" on page246
and "Styling text and paragraphs" on page263.
