Figure 8-3 illustrates two paragraphs with text followed by paragraphs with the nonbreaking
space still in place.
FIGURE 8-3
Dreamweaver automatically wraps any text inserted into the Document window. If you press Enter (Return) without
entering text, Dreamweaver enters paragraph tags surrounding a nonbreaking space ( in HTML).
You can easily change text from most other formats, such as a heading, to paragraph format. First, select the
text you want to alter. Then, in the Property inspector, open the Format drop-down list and choose
Paragraph. You can also choose Text ??? Paragraph Format ??? Paragraph from the menu or use the keyboard
shortcut Ctrl+Shift+P (Command+Shift+P).
All paragraphs are initially rendered on the page in the default font at the default size. The user can designate
these defaults through the browser preferences, although most people don??™t bother to alter them. If you
want to change the font name or the font size for selected paragraphs explicitly, use the techniques
described in the upcoming section ???Modifying Text Format??? or use Cascading Style Sheets, described in
Chapter 7.
Remember that you can always use the Tag Selector on the status bar to select and highlight
any tag surrounding your current cursor position.
