Hints

Use the format tab and use styles, fonts, and sizes ONLY for something exceptional.  This will keep your content clean and consistent and allow the style sheet to do its work.  If you want to change the styles used everywhere, we want to change the style sheet, not make every edit manual.

Formats

HTML provides standard formats for text and headers.  Every theme will format them differently using CSS.  Let it.  There will be rare times when you should over-ride the CSS, but dont make those the norm.

In the two line header of this edit box, the paragraph and heading formats are found in the second box on the second line.

• Normal -- this should be your basic text.  

• Heading 1 - page titles 

• Heading 2 - subtitles

• Heading 3

• Heading 4

• Heading 5

• Heading 6

• Formatted - don't use unless you know what you are doing

• Address, will format like a mailing address
• Normal (DIV) - will be normal text surrounded by <div> ... </div> tags  --- rarely needed

After you have applied formatting using the paragraph and header, modify if unique using styles and positioning from the first line of the edit box header and the styles, and maybe font, from the dropdowns in the second line of the header.  If you are trying to change the overall look, we should change the CSS so that you are not doing lots of manual formatting.

Every time you hit "return", you will be in a new paragraph -- it will keep the same style as the previous one.  I always change the format immediately to what I want -- or just type, and come back later to choose the paragraph or header style by highlighting and then clicin on the paragraph or header format.

All of the themes that FNPS provides are designed to morph for computers, tablets, and mobile devices of different sizes.  But -- you need to do your part.  You do not know where line breaks will need to be -- so don't put in hard breaks at the ends of lines -- in HTML, each of those line breaks starts a new paragraph and can cause ugling formatting if you do it manually in the middle of something that you want to be a sentence or single paragraph.  Allow the text to flow naturally by not putting in hard breaks where you don't need them.
