Tip
To quickly change a paragraph into a Heading, place the cursor inside of it, or select the
paragraph (see: "Selecting an element" on page194). Then select the appropriate
element, either on the Format menu, or from the 'Element type' drop-down on the toolbar.
More local formatting options are available in the Formatting dialogs; see below.
Formatting text
To open the Text Formatting dialog, select some text and then select Format > Text. In the Text
Formatting dialog you can set:
l The font, font size, color and background color:
l
Font: Select the font used to display text. See also: "Fonts" on page323. This is
equivalent to setting the font-family property in CSS.
l
Font size. Enter the size in a measure, named size or percentage. This is
equivalent to setting the font-size property in CSS.
l
Color: Specify the color of the text: select a named color (defined in the "Colors
Properties" on page465) from the drop-down, or click the colored square to open
the Color Picker dialog ("Color Picker" on page464). Alternatively you could type a
name or value in the Color field directly. It must be a predefined CSS color name
(CSS color names), a hexadecimal color code (HTML Hex Color), an RGB color
value, for example rgb(216,255,170) or a CMYK color value, for example cmyk
(15%, 0%, 33%, 0%).
This setting is equivalent to the color property in CSS.
l
Background color: Specify the background color of the text: select a named color
(defined in the "Colors Properties" on page465) from the drop-down, or click the
colored square to open the Color Picker dialog ("Color Picker" on page464).
Alternatively you could type a name or value in the Color field directly. It must be a
