WebPlus Essentials User Guide - Serif

Setting text properties
Formatting Text 97
WebPlus gives you a high degree of control over the fine points of typographic
layout, whether you're working with frame text, table text, or artistic text.
To apply basic text formatting:
1. Select the text.
2. Use buttons on the Text context toolbar to change text style, typeface,
point size, attributes, paragraph alignment, or level.
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 HTML Output tab, check Force
absolute text size to override the variable-text default.
To clear local formatting (restore plain/default text properties):
• Select a range of text with local formatting.
• Click on the Clear Formatting option on the Text context toolbar's
text styles drop-down list (or Text Styles tab).
Using fonts
One of the most dramatic ways to change your site's appearance is to change the
fonts used in your artistic text, frame text, or table text. Applying different fonts
to a character or entire paragraph can communicate very different messages to
your intended readership.
