| Character Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Color | To change the color of selected text, you can either choose a color name from the drop down list or click the Pick button to choose a color from the Color Pallet box. The color you select appears in the color box to the left. If you selected the color from the Pallet box, the hexadecimal number that is used in the HTML to identify that color appears beside the color. |
| Size | To change the font size of the selected text, choose a size from the drop down list. This list provides HTML font sizes 1 (smallest) through 7 (largest). Size 3 is the default, which is approximately equivalent to 12 point text. Also provides font sizes "big" and "small". Big adds one point to the current font size. Small subtracts one point from the current font size. |
| Style | To add special effects to the selected text you can choose any one or more of the following styles: bold, italic, strikethrough. Navigator only: Also provides the following styles: subscript, superscript and blinking text. Internet Explorer only: Also provides the underline style. This should be used with caution, however, to avoid confusion with hypertext links. |
| Font name | To change the font of selected text, choose a font from the drop-down list of fonts supplied with Windows 95. Web pages are typically displayed in the Times Roman font, which is a serif font. For a different look, you might choose Arial, a sans serif font. |
Displays the Marquee Properties box, which allows you to format selected text as a moving marquee.
| Marquee Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Marquee Background Size | Type the desired width and height of the marquee in either percent of window or pixels. If left blank, defaults to width of the entire window and height of one line of text. |
| Space around Marquee | To achieve a margin of blank space between the marquee and any adjacent text, type the number of pixels of blank space you want to the left and right of marquee, and the number of pixels of blank space you want above and below the marquee. If left blank, aligns surrounding text immediately adjacent to the marquee. |
| Number of times to Loop | Select the number of times you want the marquee to display when the user visits this page: once; a number of times specified by you; or infinitely (as long as the user is viewing the page). |
| Text Scrolling | Type the number of milliseconds delay you want to occur between each movement of the scroll. Type the number of pixels you want the text to move with each scroll. If left blank, defaults to standard delay and movement amount. |
| Behavior | Select whether you want the marquee text to scroll until it is completely out of sight; slide until the text reaches the edge of the marquee, remaining in sight; or alternate, so that when the text reaches the edge of the marquee, it bounces back and goes the opposite direction. |
| Direction | Select whether you want the marquee text to move toward the left or toward the right. |
| Background Color | Select a background color for the marquee by clicking the Pick button and choosing a color from the Color Picker box. The color you select appears in the color box to the left. The hexadecimal number that is used in the HTML to identify that color appears beside the color. Be sure the text color will show up well against the background color you select. Also check that the text color will show up well on browsers that do no support the marquee, and thus will not display the background color. |
