Using the options in the Paragraph Settings dialog, you can set formats for the text in a paragraph, the paragraph alignment, spacing, margins, indents, paragraph border, and paragraph background.
When you format paragraphs, type all the text first and then go back and apply the formatting. If you set formats as you enter the text, new paragraphs inherit the style of the paragraph before it.
Some options in the Paragraph Settings dialog have no effect if text formatting is set to HTML. These options are marked CSS only in the following sections. If you apply these options, you see them in Page view, but they disappear when you preview or publish the site. Be sure to test your site in all target browsers to ensure pages display as you intended
