To format characters, select all the characters to format. If you are in Source view, do not include portions of an HTML tag. You can include entire HTML tags, such as when you are making text bold that already contains some italic text.

To format paragraphs, place the insertion point in the paragraph to format. If you are formatting multiple paragraphs at once, select enough text that at least a part of every paragraph to format is in the selection.
