Formatting text using physical and structural styles
Adobe GoLive provides a variety of ways to format text, including the use of physical and structural styles. Using physical styles, you can make text stand out by formatting it as bold, italic, monospaced teletype, or another common character style. With structural styles, you can classify text as a quotation, variable, keyboard entry, or other classification. Text with a structural style applied to it is formatted using the conventions of a cascading style sheet or Web browser.
To apply a physical style:
1 Drag to select the text that you want to format.
2 Do one of the following:
Choose a style from the Type > Style menu. Choose Plain Text to remove all existing physical styles from the selected text. Choose Blink to make the selected text flash. To preview text formatted with the Blink style, you need to use Netscape Navigator.Click the Bold ( ), Italic ( ), or Teletype button ( ) on the toolbar to apply the respective style to the selected text.
Note: Older browsers may not support physical styles other than the basic set, such as plain, boldface, and italic.
