Styles Reference

This document is intended as a reference for the styles available to you in Contribute.  If you have any recommendations for styles, please pass them along to your Content Buddy -- we're always looking for ways to make your Contribute experience as smooth as possible.

"Normal" and "Heading" Styles

The order of the Styles menu may be a bit confusing.  Macromedia chose to put the Normal style at the top of the Contribute styles list and the Heading styles at the bottom of the list.  All of the custom styles we have developed for our site are in alphabetical order in between.

The Normal style is the default style -- just like in Microsoft Word.  If you want to remove a style, the best way is to apply the Normal style.

The Heading styles are just as you would expect.  Please use them in order -- i.e., Heading1 first, then Heading2 for headings that fall hierarchically under Heading1 and so forth.  This helps make the pages more accessible.  See below for a sample of each heading.

List Styles

The ListFlush and ListFlushSmall styles are available, but Contribute 2.0, unfortunately, cannot apply list-specific styles.  If you'd like unordered lists without bullets that are flush left, let your content buddy know, we can help you.  Here is a sample of a list with the ListFlush style applied to it:

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3
• Item 4

Here is a sample of a list with the ListFlushSmall style applied to it.

• Item 1
• Item 2
• Item 3
• Item 4

Table Styles

Below is a sample table using the following styles:

•  TableTitle
•  TableColHeadings
  • useful for recommended text alignment (left, bottom)
  • column headings must be "header" cells
    (Found in "Table Cell Properties" when row is selected)
•  TableRowHeadings
  • useful for recommended text alignment (left, top)
  • row headings must be "header" cells
    (Found in "Table Cell Properties" when column is selected)
•  TableRowEven
•  TableRowOdd

Table Title
Col Heading	Very Very Long Col Heading	Col Heading
Row Heading	odd row ffgd ldkjf ldkf fgldkf g lkdfgld	odd row
Row Heading	even row	even row

Text Styles

The text styles are pretty self explanatory.  Note that most styles affect the entire line/paragraph, whereas some styles such as TextCode, TextContact, and TextVariable can be applied to strings of text within a paragraph.

TextAside

By the way, have you noticed how neat styles are?

TextCode

If that doesn't work, try this: if i=32 then goto 05
