Operation Manual

Working with Text | 85
By default, text on your published Web pages is set to vary in size depending
on the visitor’s browser setting. If you wish, you can override this as a global
option in WebPlus, so that text will appear in the browser at exactly the same
point sizes used in your layouts. To check or change the setting, choose Site
Properties... from the File menu. On the Options tab, check Force absolute
text size to override the variable-text default.
Default text properties
Default text properties are the settings used for text you type into any new
text object. You can change these settings directly from selected text, or using
the Text Style Palette. The Palette has the advantage of letting you review all
the settings at a glance. (For more on setting defaults, see Updating and
saving defaults on p.
65.)
To change default text properties:
1. Create a single sample of text and fine-tune its properties as desired—or
use existing text that already has the right properties.
2. Select the text or container and choose Update Text Default from the
Format or right-click and choose Format>.
OR
3. Choose Text Style Palette... from the Format menu.
4. Click Default Text, then click Modify... to view current settings.
5. Use the Attributes button to alter character, paragraph, or other
properties.
Update Text Default will only apply to the current document and no other
documents—use Tools>Save Defaults to apply the default to all subsequent
documents.
WebPlus will preserve the formatting of imported word-processor text. If
you’ve imported or pasted some text and want to apply different formatting,
you can first reset the text to use the default text properties.
To clear custom formatting (restore plain/default text properties):
• Select a range of text and choose Remove Text Formatting from the
Format menu (or press Ctrl+Shift+Z).
