To open the Paragraph Formatting dialog, select a paragraph (see: "Selecting an element" on
page194) 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493.
Removing local formatting from text
Layout buttons and options on the Format menu add inline style tags to the text. Style tags can
look like this: <b>...</b> or like this: <p style= "color: red;" >.
Inline style tags have priority over styles defined in a CSS file because they are considered
more specific (see "Using a more specific CSS rule" on page297). For example, when a
formatting rule in a style sheet colors all paragraphs green, a paragraph with an inline style tag
to color it red would still stay red. So, when a rule in a style sheet doesn’t seem to work, an
inline style tag may be the culprit. In that case you might want to remove the local formatting.
To remove local formatting:
l
Select the formatted text and click the toolbar button Remove Formatting. Doing this
removes inline style tags from the selection.
l
Alternatively, click the Source tab at the bottom of the workspace (or select View >
Source View) to manually remove style tags.
Tip
When you select an element in the template, the Styles pane will show which
styles are applied to that element. The link behind the style will take you to the
place (the Source tab, or a CSS file) where that style is defined.
Copy Fit

a greeting card for example, or the name of a product on a shelf talker.
This feature is only available with Box and Div elements in Print sections.
Activating the Copy Fit feature
After adding a Box or Div element to a Print section (see "Boxes" on page253), you can
activate the Copy Fit feature on that element. Text inside that Box or Div or text in an element
