Set page properties for a web page

For each web page, you can specify layout and formatting properties, including the default font family and font size, background color, margins, link styles, and many other aspects of page design.

Note: You can set page properties for web pages only. You can’t set them for blog entries.

The page properties you select apply only to the current web page. If a page uses an external CSS style sheet, Contribute does not make changes to the external style sheet, because those changes affect all other pages that use that style sheet.

Note: If you are editing a draft based on a template, or if you are restricted to text-only editing by your Contribute administrator, you might be able to change the page title only. For more information, contact your Contribute administrator or see Set page-editing and paragraph settings.

  1. In your draft, click the Page Properties button in the toolbar, or select Format > Page Properties.

    The Page Properties dialog box appears.

  2. Select categories from the list on the left and make changes as necessary.

    By default, Contribute uses CSS to assign page properties. If your Contribute administrator set the preference to use HTML tags instead of CSS, you see only the Title/Encoding and Appearance categories on the left side of the dialog box. For more information about this setting, contact your Contribute administrator or see Set style and font settings.

    Note: If you cannot select the Links or Headings categories, your Contribute administrator has set options to prevent you from changing those page properties. Likewise, if you can only change page margins in the Appearance category, the administrator has restricted access to the other properties in that category. For more information, talk to your Contribute administrator or see Set style and font settings.

    For information about options in any of the categories, see the following sections:

  3. Click Apply to see changes without closing the dialog box or click OK to apply changes and close the dialog box.
