Sets the font size. You can set the default font size on the Customizations > Configuration screen.

Note: The default font size is Size 2 on the drop-down. Changing the font size to Size 1 and saving the change, resets the selected text to the default font size (even though you can see the smaller text on screen prior to saving).

You can force smaller font sizes by:

•Selecting the text.

•Selecting font size 3 from the Font Size drop-down.

•Selecting the HTML tab and changing the font size to 9px or smaller.
Note: Any font size between 10px and 12px resets to the default automatically when you save the text.

Font sizes 3 to 7 are the same, regardless of the default font size that was set up on the Configuration screen. For easy reference, here are the comparative font sizes for each font size:

•1 - resets to default font size on save.

•2 - default font size - shows as 13px on the HTML tab regardless of the default font size.

•3 - shows as 16px on the HTML tab - about 13 pt.

•4 - shows as 18px on the HTML tab - about 14 pt.

•5 - shows as 24px on the HTML tab - about 18 pt.

•6 - shows as 32px on the HTML tab - about 24 pt.

•7 - shows as 48px on the HTML tab - about 36 pt.

Creates a bulleted list from the selected text.

Creates a numbered list from the selected text.

If you wish to change the type of list, first create your list, then select </> HTML below the text editor and change the <ol> code to:

•<ol type="A"> for capital letters (A, B, C, etc.).

•<ol type="a"> for lower case letters (a, b, c, etc.).

•<ol type="I"> for capital roman numbers (I, II, III, etc.).

•<ol type="i"> for lower case roman numbers (i, ii, iii, etc.).

Select Design below the text editor to see the results.

If you wish to stop and start your list, create your lists first, then select </> HTML below the text editor and change the <ol> code for the lists you want to continue counting to:

<ol start="X"> where X is the number to start the list with (in the case of a letter list, use the number represented by the letter).

For example, if you want to start the list with 3, then it would state: <ol start="3">

Note: When you continue numbering, it may be easier to add the desired starting number in your text until you update the HTML code. Once you've verified that everything is OK, then you can delete that number from your text. The number makes it easier to find the text in the HTML code view.

Also, the text editor may change some of the HTML code, after you save it. So it may not look the same, but it should still work as expected.
