hi,

I want to make a summery using the textbox in VSD f.i.

a. abc
b. cde
c. xyz

When I make a text in Word and I copy this in the textbox the a., b.c. disapear.
When I try to do so directly in the textbox I can't line out the summery.

Who can give me the solution?


Thanks

Hello Henny,

Though it may not seem like it, this is a list structure, which requires special tags when converted to HTML. Visual Site Designer doesn't have a way to format text as lists yet (though we're working on that) so there are only two choices available:

1) Use multiple text boxes for each element in the list. You can drag each box exactly where you want and align them using guides.
2) Use the HTML Tool to manually add the list codes. Since this is looks like an ordered list, you'll need the ol and li tags:
<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
<li>Item 1</li>
<li>Item 2</li>
<li>Item 3</li>
</ol>

For more about HTML Lists, take a look at http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_lists.asp

Cesar,

Thanks, I hoped I had missed the possebility in VSD.
I'll go back to the old ways (HTML):) and meanwhile wait till you people have made VSD better once again.

I love that software, I 'm building my third website with VSD at the moment.
