You are also welcome to contact your site’s Webmaster.


Thank you and enjoy the season!


Text Block Formatting

The website Text Block defaults to a family of fonts and sizes.  What is displayed to the visitor is determined by their browser.  The system recognizes the user's browser and displays the text in the best font and size available.  If you do a straight copy & paste from a Word documents or from an existing website, you will override this "best available" font and size feature of the website.  Many times this is OK and is not an issue, but sometimes it can cause problems with certain browsers and the HTML code will actually be displayed on the page. Therefore, it is recommended that you use the "Paste from Word" tool, which should clean up most HTML code from Word.

With that said, it may still be worth the extra time and effort to strip the text "naked" of the background HTML code and use our Text Block to format the content in order to guarantee the best viewing.  To do this, it is a good practice to have a version of NOTEPAD open and  copy the original text into Notepad - this step strips off all formatting, i.e. bold, centering, size, etc.  Then copy out of Notepad into the website Text Block content window.  Use the Text Block formatting functions for bold, bullets, centering.

In addition, tables copied from other sources can cause issues and the formatting will not look right on the pages.  Therefore, it is recommended to use the Table Builder page element to re-create the information.

Both of these methods will take a few additional minutes compared to the straight copy/paste method,  but will result in a much better looking and consistent web page, with content that will be easier to update as you move forward.
