Coloring text
Instead of using a style sheet (see above), you can color text locally:
1. Select text or an HTML element that contains text (see "Selecting an element" on
page192).
2. On the menu, select Format > Color, or click the black triangle on the Text color toolbar
button.
3. Select one of the colors in the list, or click Other to set all aspects of the text style,
including text color and/or background color.
Coloring backgrounds and borders
Instead of using a style sheet (see above), you can color a background or border locally. This is
how:
1. Select an HTML element (see "Selecting an element" on page192).
2. On the Format menu, click the element. For a div element, click Box. The Formatting
dialog opens up.
3. Click the Border or Background tab.
4. Click the downward pointing arrow next to Color to select a color from the list of
predefined colors (see "Defining colors, spot colors and tints" on page324).
Alternatively, click the small rectangle to the right of the color list to open the Color Picker
dialog. In this dialog you can select a color from the color wheel. You can also choose the
color mode: RGB or CMYK. For an explanation of these two modes, see "Defining colors,
spot colors and tints" on page324; for an explanation of the other options in this dialog,
see "Color Picker" on page488.
You could also type a name or value in the Color field directly. It must be a valid color
name (see color names on w3schools), a hexadecimal color code (see w3school's color
picker), RGB color value, for example rgb(216,255,170) or CMYK color value, for
example cmyk(15%, 0%, 33%, 0%).
5. Click OK or Apply.
Color management
Color profiles can keep colors consistent across different outputs. To manage color profiles,
select Edit > Color settings; for an explanation of the options in the Color settings dialog, see
"Color Settings" on page490.
