• Bold: use for emphasis or to make a few words stand out. If overused, it defeats the idea of something standing out.
• Italic: use sparingly for quotes or titles.
• Underline – NEVER use because on a web page it means it is a link. Think of the color blind (challenged)

Format Choices

When you apply format to text in the content editor you will change its appearance and indicate the structure of the content on the page.

Simple formating Choices:

paragraph (most common)

preformatted (rarely used)

Treat headings is as follows.

• Heading1 is used to sumarize the content of your page (an there can therefore only be one)
• Heading2  is used to split your page in sections
• Heading3 is used to spilt each section into subsection
• etc

• Heading1 = The World
• Heading2 = North American,Europe, Asia etc
• Heading3 = USA, Canada etc
• Heading4 = California, Florida, Nebraska etc
• Heading5 = LA, San Antonio etc

Below are the effects of the format choices. Each 'heading' choice will look different for each department, because they have individual 'style sheets' which allow color, size, and font to be applied to the heading choices.

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4

Heading 5

Headding 6

Styles are html classes that can be applied to any highlighted asset in the content area. We have created these mostly for specific purposes.

• boxed: puts a border around it
• red: makes text red
  alert: makes text red, bold, 14px (slightly larger than the norm)
• listPlain: takes the dots out of a list and the indention.(for unordered lists only)
• external: puts an arrow on the right side of a link (for links only)
• floatRight: ‘floats’ selection to the right (content wil flow and wrap around it)
• floatLeft: same to left
• imageFloatRight: floats, adds a border and a light grey ‘matte’ like a picture frame
• imageFloat Left: same to left
