 Global paragraph text attributes (such as color, bold face, or the look of the paragraph bullet) are stored in the invisible end-of-paragraph symbol which appears as a blank space behind the last character of each paragraph. The font of the bullet is always “Symbol” and is never underlined. To change the text attributes of a paragraph or copy the entire paragraph, be certain to include the invisible end-of-paragraph symbol in your selection. Global paragraph text attributes (such as color, bold face, or the look of the paragraph bullet) are stored in the invisible end-of-paragraph symbol which appears as a blank space behind the last character of each paragraph.

 +===== Font Properties =====
 +
 +In the Layout  and Page Editor modes you have the option of specifying the text characteristics. You access this window by going to the Text Processing menu and clicking on the Font Properties tab. Alternatively you can reach it under the Text button in the Image Toolbox.
 +
 +**Font** - choose a font from the available list
 +
 +**Size** - choose a font size based on point size
 +
 +**Color** - Opens the text color window. You can choose from standard colors or use the color picker to get an exact match on a color elsewhere on your page.
 +
 +Alternatively, you can use the hue dial on the right to choose a general color and then the pointer to get the exact saturation that you are looking for. 
 +
 +**Style** - Choose whether you would like the text to be italicized, bold or underlined.
 +
 +===== Descriptors =====
 +
 +Any titles, captions, and other descriptors that you added to your images can be used to dynamically generate content in text objects.
 +
 +First place at least one image with descriptors on your page.  Next, open or create a text object.  In the Text Editor, click the “Insert Descriptor” button.
 +
 +The panel “Insert Descriptor ” offers the available descriptors organized in the familiar groupings. Choose a descriptor and StudioLine will insert a place holder (for example “%%Name%%”) into the text object.  Once you deselect the text object by clicking outside of it, you'll be able to view the dynamically generated text.  
 +
 +If there is more than one image on a page, you need to associate a text object with a particular image.  Right-click  on a deselected text object and choose “Descriptor Association” from the context menu.  Drag the circular association icon from the “Descriptor Association” panel to the image that holds the descriptors you'd like to use in this text object.
 +
 +A single text object can contain any number of descriptors, but it can only refer to one specific image.
 +===== Search =====
 +
 +You can quickly search for text just by entering words into the “Quick Search” edit field of the Menu bar. After pressing the “Return” key, StudioLine starts to search for the requested text in the currently opened text editor and then in all other text object on the current page.
 +
 +Alternatively you can also access them in the respective buttons found in the Text Editor  menu bar. This menu bar is visible when you choose New Text or edit text already on a page. Under the Search tab, the following window opens up: 
 +
 +  * Search for - Enter the letters, words, or sentences for what you would like to search on a webpage. 
 +  * Search Focus - This is context sensitive depending on where you have clicked before you select the Search tab. If you are clicked on the page background, you will only have the option of **Search All Text Objects on Page**. If you are clicked inside a text object, then you additionally have the option of **Search Current Text Object**. If you are clicked inside a text object and you have a portion of the text selected, you have the above two options and the ability to search just the **Selected Text Object**.
 +
 +As your web page and site increases in the amount of text it encompasses, these options become more relevant: 
 +
 +  * Match Whole Word - click this box if you want results for only the entire word. Otherwise, StudioLine will find all words that also include the searched word.
 +  * Match Case - click this box if you want only search results that match the case you input. 
 +
 +==== Search and Replace ====
 +
 +The selections are the same in the this window  as for Search (see above) except for the following: 
 +
 +  * Replace with - choose the words that you would like to replace the old text with. 
 +  * Replace - Replaces only the single word just found.  
 +  * Replace All - Replaces all of the words that fit your search criteria. 
 +
