Applying HTML to a selection with the Quick Tag Editor

You can use the Quick Tag Editor to wrap the current selection with opening and closing HTML tags.

To apply HTML to a selection with the Quick Tag Editor:

1. Select unformatted text or an object in Design view.

   NOTE

   If you select text or an object that includes an opening or closing HTML tag, the Quick Tag Editor opens in Edit Tag mode instead of Wrap Tag mode.

2. Press Control+T (Windows) or Command+T (Macintosh), or click the Quick Tag Editor button in the Property inspector.

   The Quick Tag Editor opens in Wrap Tag mode.

3. Enter a single opening tag, such as strong, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).

   The tag is inserted at the beginning of the current selection, and a matching closing tag is inserted at the end.

4. To exit without making any changes, instead of pressing Enter, press Escape.
