Once you have added the text block to project, select 
to reveal the text attributes floating toolbar. Use this toolbar to select options that allow you to view or change the attributes of your text, like indenting or changing the text color and font. For details, see Accessing the floating text-attributes toolbar.
Text can be pasted inside of a text block. The text block will automatically resize to accommodate all of the text unless the text block expands beyond the content page. In this case, the text block will place a (+) in the bottom right corner. Any time you see the (+) in the bottom right corner of a text block, you can double-click it to expand the text block to fit all of the text contained within it.
Not all users will have the same fonts on their machine as you have. Therefore, it is best to use common fonts, such as Times New Roman, Helvetica, Arial, and other Windows standard fonts. Choosing these fonts will preserve the look and feel of project.

You can have custom fonts enabled within your organization. This allows you to ensure that the fonts you use within project will properly display in your users' browsers regardless of whether they have the font locally installed. Additionally, you can save a page with custom fonts as a library object. For details, see Enabling custom fonts. |
Although print media suggests that a serif font, such as Courier or Times New Roman is best, the exact opposite applies to online documentation. A Serif font can sometimes appear blurry on a computer monitor, whereas a Sans Serif font, such as Arial, Tahoma or Verdana will appear crisp and clean.
You can show text formatting marks within text blocks, such as paragraph returns, hard and soft returns, spaces, tabs, and page breaks. For details, see Showing text formatting marks.
To insert a non-breaking space into a text block, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Space bar.
When placing your cursor to add content within a text block becomes difficult, the text editor will occasionally display a helpful red line with a handle (
), called the Magic Line. You will see the magic line after a table that is nested in another table, for example. When you click the magic line's handle, a new paragraph will be inserted into the text block. This allows you to place the cursor within the new paragraph to appropriately add content. For more information, refer to the Magic Line section of the online help from the text editor.
