Indent text
Using the Indent command applies the blockquote HTML tag to a paragraph of text, indenting text on both sides of the
page.
1 Place the insertion point in the paragraph you want to indent.
2 Select Format > Indent or Outdent, or select List > Indent or Outdent from the context menu.
Note: You can apply multiple indents to a paragraph. Each time you select this command, the text indents further from
both sides of the document.
Apply font styles
You can use HTML to apply text formatting to one letter, or to entire paragraphs and blocks of text in a site. Use the
Format menu to set or change font characteristics for selected text. You can set the font type, style (such as bold or
italic), and size.
1 Select the text. If no text is selected, the option applies to subsequent text you type.
2 Select from the following options:
• To change the font, select a font combination from the Format > Font submenu. Select Default to remove
previously applied fonts. Default applies the default font for the selected text (either the browser default font or
the font assigned to that tag in the CSS style sheet).
• To change the font style, select a font style (Bold, Italic, Underline, and so on) from the Format > Style submenu.
