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 and the 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 add color to an entire page of 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 using the toolbar and Color palette:

1. Select the text that you want to color.
2. Click the Text Color field on the toolbar. Clicking the field automatically opens the Color palette.
3. In the Color palette, select a color from one of the color sets. (The Web Color List and the Site Color List are the best and most frequently used sets for displaying colors on the Web. See Using the Color palette.)

GoLive automatically applies the color to the Text Color field on the toolbar and 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.

You 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 a color attribute from selected text:

Select the text and choose Type > Remove Color. GoLive resets the page back to the default text color.
