Scenario
- You would like to specify a font size that is not available from the drop-down menu on the toolbar of the Template Editor - an odd number or point font size.
- The font size changes when received by recipients (for example, the text specified as 8pt is displayed as 7.5pt)
Resolution
There are two options available to resolve these issues:
Option 1 allows you to specify inline style information to be included in an HTML tag (by use of our tag properties editor).
Option 2 uses the same inline style definition, but you can add them directly to the source of the disclaimer. This is useful if you wish to specify that a small amount of text within a larger body of text be of a different size.
Option 1
- Place the cursor within the text that you want to specify the size of. You will see at the bottom of the Template Editor window, the list of tags that the cursor is within.
- You will notice that the Properties pane changes to the tag that encompasses that section of text.
Example:
- Select the Style property in the Properties pane then click on the ellipsis '…' to open the Style Editor window.
- Within the Font tab, in font-size enter the font size that you require.
- Click OK to set the style for that tag.
In mail clients that can read style sheets, this will override the HTML size information.
Option 2
- Click on the source mode located towards the top of the Template Editor.
- Locate the text you wish to change and type in the opening span before the text and the closing after it.
Example:
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt" >This text will be 8pt in size</SPAN>
Additional Information
Below is an example of the source code created when using Option 1.- The following code will specify that an entire paragraph be in 8 points:
<P style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt"></P> - The following code will specify that anything within the span tags will be in 8 points:
<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt"></SPAN>
