Help! FP refusing to make "inline" change to ... - 6/7/2004 15:29:48
Hi All,
I'm following the sage advice of most everyone here, and converting to css with an external style sheet - it seems to work well, what a revelation! I'm having a problem now, in that I want to make some changes to certain text on my pages - that would be an "inline style" right? Problem is, when I highlight the text I want to change, and attempt to change font size for example, FP just ignors the command! How do I do this??? I'm also finding myself having to go through my page and strip out all the now - unneeded codefor font control - is there an easy way to do this, or is it all done in html view by hand?
Thanks!
Mark

I'm using FP2002... I don't mind stripping out the old formatting info, that is the easy part - you're right, notepad is my best friend... I just can't figure out why FP is refusing to apply an inline style - I must be missing something... and I really do need to learn this stuff...
Thanks!
Mark

2 things.......
You may already have styling in your body? right click - page properties then background are you getting info from another page? are you using templates?
Also to save time in rebuilding, could you not copy text from say preview into note pad and then back into a clean page?

Thanks WhyMe,
I looked at "page Properties" as you described - it's clean. I'm not using a template, I built this one from scratch, to be as clean as possible... guess I didn't quite accomplish that!
I've figured out how to change the font by going into the html and doing it by hand there - I guess if no one can point me to how to make FP do it the easy way then that's how I'll have to do it. Fortunately it will only be a very few pages like that... there will be others where I'll just disconnect them from the .css...

i assume your talking about changing just some words?
you can use an inline style e.g.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. <span style="color:red"> Suspendisse id lacus <span> sit amet lacus congue sollicitudin. In ipsum. Proin fringilla. Phasellus porttitor placerat dolor. Praesent metus
or after making a style (custom class) in your external styelsheet (e.g. .redText {color:red;}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. <span class="redText"> Suspendisse id lacus <span> sit amet lacus congue sollicitudin. In ipsum. Proin fringilla. Phasellus porttitor placerat dolor. Praesent metus
obivously if you want to change one (or more) whole paragraph to look different then just apply the class to the p tag
<p style="color:red">
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Suspendisse id lacus sit amet lacus congue sollicitudin. In ipsum. Proin fringilla. Phasellus porttitor placerat dolor. Praesent metus
</p>
FP pre 2003 won't apply spans to text successfully so unless you want a whole paragraph then you're stuck with hand coding it.
btw this is a good free little text editor with syntax highlighting.
