Creating a Text Style

 

  1. In Page view, from the Text menu, choose Manage Styles.

The Manage Styles dialog appears.

The pane on the left lists the currently defined styles.

The list of styles can include styles that are specific to the current page, the entire site, or part of a specific SiteStyle.

You can also create custom styles for the navigation bar, a text object, lists, and so on, for the styles listed in the pane on the left.

  1. To create a new style, click New or Duplicate.

The New Text Style dialog appears.

The Duplicate Text Style dialog box is similar. Duplicating a style is a quick way to give it a different scope. For example, you can duplicate the H1 style to the H2, H3, and H4 headings and then edit them individually.

  1. In the Style type section, select:

A period is added to the custom style’s name, such as .customstylename. In the generated code, custom style is then referred to as class=customstylename.

  1. Select a style scope for the new style.

  1. Click OK.

The Text Format dialog appears. You can now set the attributes for each feature of the style. See Formatting Paragraphs and Formatting a List for details.
