in your pages. Although bold and italic are two options you can use in your web pages, you're certainly not limited to just these. In fact, you can choose the Styles option from the Text menu to see a complete list of options (see Figure 3.21). Figure 3.21. Dreamweaver includes numerous text styles for use in your web pages. [View full size image]   Most of the text styles in this list are deprecated, meaning the World Wide Web Consortium doesn't recommend their use because they have been replaced in most cases by options in CSS. With that said, experiment at your leisure with the various options because they can help you understand what's possible in terms of text styles. Text Alignment and Indentations Similar to a word processor, Dreamweaver includes the ability to align your text. Four alignment options are available, including left align, center align, right align, and justify. To see the alignment features in action, open the text file entitled footer.txt, select all the text, copy it, and paste it somewhere near the bottom of the Dorknozzle page. You might have to include more paragraph breaks to force the cursor near the bottom of the page. Of course, you may want to enhance this small footer by implementing features you've already learned, such as changing the font face, font size, and color. When you're done, center-align the text using the Align Center button in the Properties Inspector (see Figure 3.22). Figure 3.22. Format the text then center align it on the page. [View full size image]   You can also indent your text by using the Text Indent and Text Outdent buttons located just below the Right Align and Justify icons in the Property Inspector. For instance, if I wanted to indent the text that appears below the headings, I could simply select the text and click the Text Indent button. I'll click the Text Outdent button to return my page back to the way it was when I started. Working with Lists You can create lists easily within Dreamweaver. While Dreamweaver supports three types of lists (Ordered, Unordered, and Definition), arguably the more popular, ordered and unordered lists are available directly from the Properties Inspector by selecting the buttons just below the Left Align and Center Align buttons. Often referred to as bulleted lists, unordered lists by default, create a bullet circle to the left of the selected item while ordered lists apply a number instead of a bullet to the left of the item and follow in sequential order. Creating a list in Dreamweaver is actually a simple process that involves nothing more than highlighting the text items to include in the list and choosing the appropriate option from the Properties Inspector. Alternatively, you can place your cursor on the page and choose the list option from the Property Inspector. Immediately, a bullet or number is created. You can type your items as you go, pressing Enter to move to the next line and creating a new bullet or incrementing number as you go. As an example of using a list, follow these instructions: 1. We'll create a bulleted list of company events just below the heading that reads Company Events. To create the list, place your cursor just after the heading and press Enter (press Return on a Mac) to create a new paragraph break if one doesn't already exist. 2. Choose the unordered list option from the Properties Inspector to create a new bullet.
