Adding color to text


    You can add color to selected text without affecting the overall text color in the page. When you use the toolbar or the Swatches or Color palette to apply color, GoLive places the color attribute within the font element. Because the font element is known to cause problems with browsers interpreting style sheets, you may want to use a CSS style to add color instead. (See Setting Font properties.)

    You can set the default color for text and the various stages of hypertext links without using the font element or a style sheet. (See Setting the default color for text or links in a page.)

To add color to text:

  1. Select the text that you want to color.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Click the lower right corner of the Set text color field on the toolbar and select a color from the swatches that appear. (The swatches displayed reflect the current settings in the Swatches palette.)
    • Click the Set text color field on the toolbar and use one of the color sliders to select a color from the Color palette. (Choose Only Web Colors from the Color palette menu to select only Web safe colors). You can also click a color in the Recently Used Colors list.
    • Choose Window > Swatches to open the Swatches palette, and then select a color.

    GoLive applies the color to the selected text. If you selected text at the end of a line, the color remains in effect after you press Return or Enter and continue typing.

    TipYou can also color selected text by dragging a color from the Colors tab in the site window to the selection in the page. (See Using site colors.)

To remove color from selected text:

    Select the text and do one of the following:

    • Choose Type > Remove Color.
    • Click the lower right corner of the Set text color field on the toolbar and choose Remove Color.
