AboutSandia Expertise I can help with questions about Adobe Photoshop, Quark, Macromedia Dreamweaver and Flash. I also have general design background and IT experience.
Experience I have been in printing/graphic design since desktop publishing has been around.
Question I have a web site that was created with Dreamweaver 4.0
I have had to 're-adjust' the type sizes to bring it back to it's original look. but I have been unable to find a tag code that will give me the old -1,-2,-3 effect. I have tried, xx-small and %. Also is it possible to 'convert' a page to a new Dreamwaver version, without recreating it.
Thanks
Answer Hi Thomas,
I work in the graphics design section. I think your question might be better suited for an HTML forum, but I'll certainly give it a shot...
You asked: "I have had to 're-adjust' the type sizes to bring it back to it's original look. but I have been unable to find a tag code that will give me the old -1,-2,-3 effect. I have tried, xx-small and %."
As far as I am aware all the old (valid) tags still work. You might want to take a look at this:
You should not need to re-adjust anything when moving from one Dreamweaver version to another. Similarly, no conversion is required. You definitely should not need to recreate things. You’ll notice that your pages don’t have a Dreamweaver extension. Rather, they are something more universal like HTML, or PHP or ASP, etc., etc. When authored correctly, you can work with them in multiple editors (and view them in multiple browsers), with no conversion necessary. They may look slightly different on your screen, but when you upload them to a web location and view them using a web browser they should look just fine.
CSS is definitely the way to go to define and utilize font styles. You might want to consider using it instead of putting the font style in the tags. You’ll be so glad you did! It will save you tons of work. Dreamweaver has some basic information in their Help section (search "css" without the quotes), to get you started. It's easy, and it will give you more of a WYSIWYG approach. Perhaps you had a CSS file on your site that has been removed? That would explain the pages looking different.
