Change Text Size

In HTML type sizes range from 1 (smallest) to 7 (largest).

The default type size (base font) is 3; it roughly corresponds to 10 point type.

You will want to use larger type sizes for headlines and smaller type sizes for your navigation bar and address footer.

There are several ways to change the size of your type in Dreamweaver.

To set a headline size:
  • Highlight the text you want to affect
  • Choose a heading number from the Size dropdown menu on the Property Inspector

You can also change text size by choosing the Text, Size command on the main menu bar.
