We are excited to announce the launch of updated product names, logos, and headers within our user interfaces as part of the CivicPlus® Solution Rebranding initiative. These changes mark the first step toward creating a cohesive and seamless user experience across all solutions in our portfolio. As part of this transition, users may notice minor design updates. While the functionality you rely on remains unchanged, we are in the process of updating screenshots and other resources on our Help Centers to reflect the new branding. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to complete these updates.

Use Paragraph Formatting

  • Updated:

This article will show you a few tools to help format and align paragraphs in your text fields. These tools will display with most major text boxes.

 

Important Notes

  • Our Agenda and Meeting Management Select solution treats each paragraph as a separate piece of text when using Paragraph Formatting tools. This means that the use of one tool will affect the entire paragraph, but not the whole text field.
  • Press Enter on your keyboard to create new paragraphs and format them separately.
  • To format multiple paragraphs at the same time, highlight them before selecting a Paragraph Formatting tool. Using the Text Formatting tools affects only text (words or phrases) highlighted by the cursor. See our Text Formatting Tools article article for more information.

 

 

Formatting Tools

Decrease or Increase Indent

The Decrease Indent and Increase Indent Paragraph tools.

Move your text closer to or further away from the margin by a predetermined amount of space

 

Numbered or Bulleted Lists

The Numbered List and Bulleted List Paragraph tools.

Create a numbered list or bulleted list from your text

Note: If you want to create a list in either format, you can either:
  • Type into the text field, highlight all list-item paragraphs, and click the Numbered List or Bulleted List tools to create a list of only some text but not all
  • Or, paste the bulleted or numbered text into the field

To subordinate items (indent bullets or numbers), highlight items, click Increase Indent, or press Tab on your keyboard.

 

Paragraph Format

The Paragraph Format tool.

Use this tool to change the formatting of a paragraph using the predetermined Paragraph Formatting styles

Note: You cannot apply Paragraph Formatting to individual words or lines within a paragraph. Paragraph Formatting must be applied to the entire paragraph.

 

Insert Horizontal Line

The Insert Horizontal Line Paragraph tool.

Use this tool to insert a Horizontal Line between words, sentences, or paragraphs in the Text Field

Note: The style and formatting of Horizontal Lines are predetermined and cannot be changed.
