The Paragraph Designer

What is the Paragraph Designer?

The Paragraph Designer helps you format the text content in your body pages. The Paragraph Designer usually sits at the right-hand side of the screen. See the screenshots below for more details on the paragraph designer.

The following view appears when you click on the first symbol button in the row (the one that looks like a paragraph marker):

The Paragraph Tag has a list of text styles. I suggest you choose "Heading1" for first level headings, "Heading2" for second level headings, and "body" for your paragraphs. Be sure to hit the Apply button (at the bottom of the paragraph designer) to apply a style to a selected area of text. Look over the other options. They are simple and straightforward.

You may also create your own style by clicking on Commands: --> New Format.

If the idea of styles is new to you, here is a great article that explains paragraph styles and why you should use them.

The following view appears when you click on the A symbol:

This section is used to modify the font type of your selected text.


The other buttons on the paragraph designer allow you many other formatting options. Go ahead and experiment with them.
