Using Styles
Webservices has included a series of styles to use with the UMass template. They are accessible from Contribute in EDIT MODE. Following is a list of available styles using this template. We recommend using the blue family in the majority of your headings; use red sparingly; only when you want to accent a few key elements on the page.

This paragraph shows examples of small portions of text hilighted for emphasis. To use these styles within a paragraph, be sure no previous formatting has been applied to any text in the paragraph; then select only the copy you want to edit. Try not to select extra spaces to the left or right of the copy when using these styles. If for some reason, you have problems with this style, you may need to select the immediately preceding text and apply the "txt_blknorm" style to reinitiate normal paragraph styling.* Use these styles sparingly as they really stand out on a page.
*There is usually no need to select "txt_blknorm"; it is the default font for all paragraph copy; however depending on the style that precedes it, it may help to reinitiate normal paragraph styling.
