Creating paragraphs

To improve the legibility of web pages, you should ensure that there is sufficient “white space” – that is, the parts of the page that contain no items (e.g. text or images) and is therefore blank. One way to introduce white space on a page is by grouping information into paragraphs and introducing space between the paragraphs. Having text separated into paragraphs also makes text more manageable and enables you to utilise different styles on the page.

  1. Click on the Site Content icon  to display the Site Content window
  2. Locate or add the required page (for more information, refer to Finding a Page or Adding a Page)
  3. Click on the page in the My Site pane to display the contents and properties in the Edit Page pane
  4. Click on the Content tab in the Edit Page pane to display the Content page
  5. Click on the Main sub-tab to display the details
  6. Click in the Content field to position the insertion point
  7. Type the paragraph text
  8. Press [Enter]
    This effectively ends one paragraph and moves the insertion point down to create a new paragraph…
  9. Type the text for the following paragraph

    You can now apply different styles to the two different paragraphs…
  10. Click on the drop arrow  of the Styles tool  and select the style you want to apply
    The style is applied to the paragraph in which the insertion point is currently positioned…

    You could then simply click in other paragraphs and repeat step 10 to apply different styles to different paragraphs.
  • To delete the space between paragraphs, thereby joining them into a single paragraph, click at the end of the first paragraph and press [Delete].
  • Alternatively, position the insertion point to the left of the first character in the second paragraph and press [Backspace].
  • If the two paragraphs have different styles applied to them, the newly merged text will adopt the style of the first paragraph.
