Adding formatting to text (bold, italic, superscript etc.)

You can apply styling to text within your document. In most cases, if a whole element requires to be styled in a particular way, Lawmaker will style it automatically (e.g. headings to sections in a Bill will appear in bold). But sometimes you need to format a particular word or phrase with a particular style.

The styles that you can apply manually are:

  • Bold

  • Italic

  • Underline

  • Superscript

  • Subscript

How to apply formatting

In the Editor, highlight the text to be formatted and use the Format menu to select a style. The text selected must be within the same paragraph – you cannot cross element boundaries.

You can also use the following keyboard shortcuts:

  • Ctrl+B - Bold

  • Ctrl+U - Underline

  • Ctrl+I - Italic

  • Ctrl+Shift++ - Superscript

  • Ctril+Shift+- - Subscript

You can can apply more than one style to the same text.
