Changing the font, size, and style of text

In iWeb, you can manipulate text in the same ways you can in a word-processing document. You can change the font, size, and typeface of text, making it bold or italic for special emphasis.

To choose a new font:

  1. Select the text you want to change (by selecting a text box or dragging to select specific words), or click in a text box where you want to type new text.

  2. Click the Fonts button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window.

  3. Image of Fonts button.
  4. Choose a collection from the Collections menu, and then choose a font.

    If you use a font that visitors don’t have on their computers, the font will be substituted in the browser. This can be avoided by using a web-safe font. To see a partial list of fonts that are safe to use, open the Fonts window (click the Fonts button in the toolbar), scroll to the bottom of the Collections list, and then click Web.

    For information on installing fonts, creating and managing font collections, or troubleshooting font-related issues, see Mac Help.

To change the font size:

  1. Select the text you want to change, or click in a text box where you want to type new text.

    To change all the text in a text box, select the text box. To change just some text, drag to highlight the words you want to change.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • Press Command-Plus Sign (+) or Command-Minus Sign (-) to make text bigger or smaller.

    • To specify a font size, click the Fonts button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window. Then choose a new size from the Size menu, or type a number in the Size field.

To make text italic or bold:

  1. Select the text you want to change, or click in a text box where you want to type new text.

    To change all the text in a text box, select the text box. To change just some text, highlight the words you want to change.

  2. Click Fonts in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window.

  3. Choose a style from the Typeface menu.

    Not all fonts have all styles available.
