Text Editing Basics

Formatting the text on your MySpace page is a great way to achieve the exact look and feel you want. And, it's really easy to do! This page will show you some basic things you can do to manipulate your text.

1. Bold, Underline, Italics, Strike Through:
   
   Bold = <b>Text You Want Bolded</b>
   Underline = <u>Text You Want Underlined</u>
   Italics = <i>Text You Want In Italics</i>
   Strike Through = <s>Text You Want to Strike Through</s>
   
2. Line Breaks:
   
   To create a new line of text put <br> in between your text/images. This will create the same effect as if you clicked enter in a word processor.
   
   Example: Hey Everyone! <br> What's up?
   Will look like this:
   Hey Everyone!
   What's up?
   
   You can also use paragraph tags <p> to create the effect of a new paragraph (two line breaks).
   
   Example: Hey Everyone! <p>What's up</p>?
   Will look like this:
   Hey Everyone!

   What's up?

3. Modifying Font Size - Make that text BIGGER!:
   
   <font size="1">Text Here</font> = Text Here
   <font size="2">Text Here</font> = Text Here
   <font size="3">Text Here</font> = Text Here
   <font size="4">Text Here</font> = Text Here
   <font size="5">Text Here</font> = Text Here

4. Adding Colors:
   
   Green = <font color="green">Text You Want Green</font>
   Red = <font color="red">Text You Want Red</font>
   Blue = <font color="blue">Text Your Want Blue</font>
   Other Color = <font color="COLOR YOU WANT HERE">Text You Want Made That Color</font>

5. Modifying Font Face/Type:
   
   <font face="Verdana">Your Text Here</font> = YourText Here
   <font face="Arial">Your Text Here</font> = Your Text Here
   <font face="Times New Roman">Your Text Here</font> = Your Text Here
   <font face="Courier New"> YourText Here</font> = Your Text Here
   <font face="Georgia">Your Text Here</font> = Your Text Here
   <font face="Tahoma">Your Text Here</font> = Your Text Here
   
   Want to use another font face/type that isn't listed here? <font face="Font Face">Your Text Here</font>
   Replace Font Face with the font face name of your choice.

6. Align Text on Your Page
   
   <div align="left">Text Here</div>

   <div align="center">Text Here</div>

   <div align="right">Text Here</div>

Quick Reference Grid:

<B>text here</B>	Bold Text
<I>text here</I>	Italics Text
<U>text here</U>	Underline
<S>text here</S>	Strike Out
<SUP>text here</SUP>	Superscript (ex. abc)
<SUB>text here</SUB>	Subscript (ex. H20)
<BR>	Line Break
<P>	New Paragraph
<DIV align=left>text here</DIV>	This tag forces left justification.
<DIV align=center>text here</DIV>	This tag forces center justification.
<DIV align=right>text here</DIV>	This tag forces right justification.
