How to Tips: Style sheet / Fonts

This template has been built with a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS).  The style sheet controls the way text is displayed in your web site.

Brand guidelines specify Trebuchet MS for the sans-serif  font (type face). When required,  use  Palatino for the serif font (type face).

You may wish to print this page for reference when you build your site using the template.

Applying Styles

Since you will always start a page with the template, the styles already set up.  Insert your content in the appropriate places on the page. Apply the styles to maintain the hierarchy of  1) page title,  2) subtitles  and 3) text.

To change the look of the text

  • highlight the text

  • use the drop down box in the upper left corner

  • choose the style you want to apply

Applying Styles - Tips

If you import content from a Notepad document, it may have some spacing issues which affect your ability to apply styles because FrontPage has some quirks...

If you find styles are being applied to more text than you want, or you can't get bulleted items to format the way you want...

  • undo the typing/change you just applied but don't want; from the menu bar choose Edit -> Undo

  • remove space between the sections of text using the backspace or delete button

  • place your cursor where you want to separate the text, hit "enter"

  • apply style
