Format Paragraph Dialog

 

Introduction

The Format Paragraph dialog lets you use the power of style sheets to format your paragraphs. By default, the details of your paragraph style will be inserted within an opening paragraph tag <P>. For example:

 

<P STYLE="{font-family : Tahoma; font-weight : bold;}">

 

A close tag </P> will automatically be placed after any text that you have selected. For example:

 

<P STYLE="{font-family : Tahoma; font-weight : bold;}">Text within the paragraph.</P>

 

If you wish to use different tags then in the Format Paragraph dialog navigate to Paragraph Tag and, in the Paragraph Style drop-down list, select the tag of your choice.

NOTES

  • Occasionally you may wish to change a paragraph style that you have already defined for a set of tags. Instead of selecting all the blocks of text within the tags that you wish to format, just select the entire opening tag. For example, if your paragraph is within H1 tags then you would select everything within:

<H1 STYLE=" ......">

Then just go to the Format menu and select Paragraph as usual.

  • If you select multiple paragraph tags for editing, only those attributes all paragraphs have in common will be displayed in the Format Paragraph dialog.
