Chapter 6: Working with Text
You can use Adobe® Contribute® CS3 to add and format text, much as you do with a basic word processor. You'll find
a few differences in working with text in Contribute and a word-processing program, such as Microsoft Word,
because Contribute formats your text using HTML behind the scenes.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• "Adding text to a web page" on page 86
• "Changing text appearance on the page" on page 87
• "Positioning text on the page" on page 92
• "Creating lists" on page 93
• "Checking spelling" on page 97
• "Finding and replacing text" on page 97
For information about working with text in tables, see "Working with Tables" on page 119. For information about
aligning text around images, see "Aligning an image" on page 105. For information about editing link text, see
"Working with Links" on page 133.
About HTML and CSS styles in the Contribute Style
menu
The Style pop-up menu in Contribute lists HTML heading and paragraph styles, plus user-defined Cascading Style
Sheet (CSS) styles that you can apply to format your content. All styles in the list appear as they appear when you
apply them to text.
Note: If the Style menu is not enabled, your Contribute administrator has restricted the website so you cannot apply
styles.
You might also be able to create CSS styles as you format text; Contribute automatically adds these styles to your style
list. This makes applying the same formatting to a block of text much simpler as well as letting you create a more
consistent look for your pages.
Note: You do not see HTML heading or CSS styles if your Contribute administrator has disabled one or both of them.
To enable or disable CSS styles in Contribute, talk to your Contribute administrator or see "Setting style and font
settings" on page 221.
You cannot attach a Cascading Style Sheet to a page in Contribute to add more styles; use Dreamweaver to attach a
style sheet.
