1. In the HTML file, select the phrase you want to apply special formatting to.
2. Add the <SPAN> tag and the <STYLE> tag attributes you want. For example:

   <SPAN STYLE= "{
   font-family: times;
   font-size: 12pt; 
   background: yellow; 
   color: red;
   }">
   Span this phrase</SPAN>
   

   In this example, the font, and background <STYLE> tag attributes will be applied to the text Span this phrase.

Note

• This allows a help author to format individual phrases, words, or letters.
