You can type in text just as you would in a word processor. HTML code does
not, however, allow or preserve every type of text formatting that a word
processor does.
 |
You can use bulleted or numbered text. If you
apply a theme, the bullets will match that theme. If not, you may choose a
graphic bullet from the Format > Bullets and
Numbering menu. |
|
You can format the way paragraphs appear in your
pages. Go to Format > Paragraph (or
right click and click Paragraph in the popup menu); here, you can
adjust how much space appears before and after words and paragraphs, adjust
line spacing (single, double, etc.), and make other custom changes. |
One good way to preserve text positioning on a page is to use a TABLE.
Here are two examples:
|
This is a two-column, one-row table with a
1-point border. Tables are useful for placing text, graphics, and other
elements.
| You can format text inside a table in much the same way you format
it outside; for example, you can use bullets. |
|
If you go to Table >
Properties > Table, you can set the width (in percent or
pixels) that you want the table to span on any computer monitor it is
viewed; for example, you can set this table to span 75% of the monitor
on which it is viewed. Go to Specify Width and,
making sure the box is checked, type in the percent or pixel size you
want. |
| This text lies in a two-row, one-column table. |
| This is the second row. To adjust border size, go to Table
> Properties > Table, go down to Borders
and Size, and click from the default
1-point down to 0. In editing mode, a dotted gridline appears to show
the table's borders (you can't see it now); in preview mode, the
gridlines disappear. |
|
To insert a table:
|
Click on the Insert Table button
on the toolbar, or go to Table > Insert > Table
for a window with more formatting options. |
|
Choose the number of columns and rows you want.
In the Insert Table window, you can also
specify the table's size (in percent or pixels), alignment (to left-justify
text, for example), border size (from none at all to big, thick, 3-D lines),
and cell padding and spacing (how far the cell's contents sit from the
inside border). |
