    Changing font size but no so it affects the navigation

    I'm working on at site. where I'm at can be seen at (this isn't the final location for the store) http://www.lowbankfarm.co.uk/index.html

    I want to make most of the text a little bigger but I don't want to change the size of of all the text which is governed by the StandardFontSize Variable. I saw one post from Bruce which I've tried to implement but it doesn't seem to work for me.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    The only way to have different css styling applied to 'some' text and not all text, is to create a new css rule in the stylesheet (ActinicStylesheet - selectable in the dropdown on the Design tab - is the default) and then to apply that rule.

    This can be done at a fairly high level by creating a custom layout - if the same text area is to changed each time, or applied with embedded html inside the fragment text or product description if you want more granular control.

    If you need to be able to apply the same rule in several layouts (not repeats of the same layout) on one page), then you will need to use the # marker and set the rule using id= - if only once per page, you can use the . marker and class= to set the rule.

      Thank you Bill but I'm afraid that was way over my head!

      Do you know if there is anywhere I can find some step by step instructions?

      On re-reading I realise I do know how to embed the html in the fragment text so I've done that. Thank you. But now I'm not sure how to change the font size for the product and components etc.

        If you go into the 'Design' tab, you can click on the text you want to change the size of in the preview.

        This will then select a blue variable in the preview. You can then put your own font size tags around the thing you are interested in e.g.

        <span style="font-size: 12px;">.....</span>
