Adjusting Paragraph Alignment

FrontPage offers four alignment options for paragraphs: align left, center, align right, and justify. Choosing a paragraph alignment will align selected paragraphs to the left, right, or center of the page. The justify alignment aligns both the left and right borders of a paragraph.

Adjusting Paragraph Alignment: Menu Option

Place the insertion point in the paragraph you want formatted
From the Format menu, select Paragraph...
The Paragraph dialog box appears.
From the Alignment pull-down list, make the appropriate selection
Click OK

Adjusting Paragraph Alignment: Toolbar Option

Place the insertion point in the paragraph you are formatting
On the Formatting toolbar, click the appropriate alignment button

Applying Paragraph Indents

FrontPage provides a standard paragraph indent approximately equal to one half inch. This indent is also called a blockquote.

Place the insertion point in the paragraph you are formatting
On the Formatting toolbar, click INCREASE INDENT
Repeat step 2 as necessary
NOTE: To reduce or eliminate a paragraph indent, click DECREASE INDENT.

Inserting Line Breaks

If you want to begin a new line and not a new paragraph, you can insert a line break. Inserting a line break will move the cursor from the line on which you are working to the very next line on the page without leaving a blank line between the two.

Inserting Line Breaks: Keyboard Option

Place the insertion point where you would like to insert the line break
Press [Shift] + [Enter]

Inserting Line Breaks: Insert Menu Option

Place the insertion point where you would like to insert the line break
From the Insert menu, select Break...
The Break dialog box appears.
Select Normal line break
Click OK

Applying Special Characters

With FrontPage, you can insert special characters that are supported by HTML code. Examples include the copyright symbol ( © ), registered symbol ( ® ), and characters unique to other languages (e.g., the ñ used in many Spanish words).

From the Insert menu, select Symbol...
The Symbol dialog box appears.
Select the desired symbol
Click INSERT
OPTIONAL: To select other symbols, repeat steps 2-3 as needed
