To view styles for this template: see Style Guide that shows the formatting of this style. http://www.umassmed.edu/uploadedFiles/Styles/Thalia/StyleGuide.pdf

User defined styles These are the styles that an editor can choose while working within the WYSIWYG editor. You will find the list of styles in a drop list on the menu bar.

To clear any styles that you have set, select the text, table or image and click on the icon to the left of the drop down:

Applying too many styles to one element can cause the text to get smaller and smaller since we use percentages for sizing text. Make sure to clear a style before applying a new one.

The style dropdown tries to simulate for preview. For styles that align items to the right, you will notice the style name is not visible in the dropdown.

To see the class name, use the bottom scroll to view names that gets shifted to the right.

Note that the dropdown shows an icon that this class is used for – the icon in this example shows that this particular class can be applied to images.
