Formatting paragraphs

Use the Format pop-up menu in the Property inspector or the Text > Paragraph Format 
submenu to apply the standard paragraph and heading tags. 

To apply a paragraph or heading tag: 

1.

Place the insertion point in the paragraph, or select some of the text in the paragraph.

2.

Using the Text > Paragraph Format submenu or the Format pop-up menu in the Property 
inspector, select an option:

■

Select a paragraph format (for example, Heading 1, Heading 2, Preformatted Text, 
and so on). The HTML tag associated with the selected style (for example, 

h1

 for 

Heading 1, 

h2

 for Heading 2, 

pre

 for Preformatted text, and so on) is applied to the 

entire paragraph.

■

Select None to remove a paragraph format.

When you apply a heading tag to a paragraph, Dreamweaver automatically adds the next line 
of text as a standard paragraph. To change this setting, select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or 
Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh); then in the General category, under Editing 
Options make sure Switch to Plain Paragraph after Heading is unchecked.
