Creating / Resizing Body Text

  • Open the 'Style Guide' from the 'Design Menu'
  • From the default category 'Body Styles' select a proportion measurement from the 'Type Size' drop down list, for example (medium)
  • Please note that once a proportional measurement is selected, then the line Height input box becomes a percentage
  • In the 'Line Height' enter a percentage amount for example (120)
  • Do not include the percentage symbol
  • If your font size does not change in the browser contact your integrator as there may be custom styles over-riding this feature
