Text Formatting

Text formatting determines how your text will look in your document. Making your text look better is very easy using the editor. We will start the guide through the text formatting with bold, italic, underlined fonts.

Bold, Italic, Underlined and Strike-through

You may also arrange the way you font looks like by choosing whether the font should be bold, italic, underlined or stroked through.

• To make your font bold press the B  on the toolbar. 
• If you want it to be italic press the I on the toolbar .
• For underlined press the U on the toolbar.
• To strike a line through the text press abcon the toolbar. 

Example:

If you choose any of this options you will learn that the button on the toolbar will highlight. If you want to disable the function press its button again. Of course you can mix these options as much as you want.

Example:

Notice that if you don't switch the underline option off the underline will go between your blanks.

Example:

The same thing happens when you use the strike through function. 

Styles

It is quite easy to make your text looking ugly or difficult to read by making lots of different formatting on it. Styles help on making all formatting uniform in the text. Each style option contains a predefined combination of formatting features, which have been defined by the web site developer. Be sure you have been instructed on how to properly use each of the available styles.

Styles are also a way to combine all the formatting function described in this page. They give you fast access to the common used text formats. For example: you don't have to change the font, its colour, its background, its size. You simply peak a style you prefer from the Style menu and start typing.

It is the best way to change the text look.

Example:

Text Alignment

A paragraph of text can have its lines aligned to either of the sides of the document, as well as centring on it. You may also force the lines to take the entire space available in the document (like aligning to both sides at the same time).

To align your text at the left side of the editing area, press the  button on the toolbar.

Example:

If you want instead to have the text aligned at the right side of the editing area, just press the  button on the toolbar.

Example:

In order to align your text at the center of the document, press the  on your toolbar.

Example:

The last option is the block alignment. If you want to activate it press  on the toolbar. This function is much similar to the left alignment. You also begin typing from the left side of the screen. The difference instead can be noted when writing several lines of text. Each one will have the same length even though they don't have to have the same amount of words or letters. The lines will just expand and the text will be equally long so that the lines will end in the same place.

Example:

Fonts

Fonts are kinds of style of writing. They determine how the letters of your text look like. The most common used fonts are "Times New Roman" and "Arial". They are used in most documents created in the world. You may say that they are very official fonts used in formal documents. If you wish to use a different font you are of course more than welcome to do so. To choose a font you want to type in access the font menu in your toolbar and click on the font you decided to use.

Example:

We encourage you to avoid overusing this feature. You can easaly produce a document that looks bad or difficult to read. Give preference to the Styles menu instead, which have been preciselly designed by your web side developer.
