This guide provides a step-by-step approach to inputting and formatting text in the HtmlLabel field within an intake form, ensuring consistent, professional presentation. 



Overview


Overview of Formatting Challenges

Users often encounter issues with text inconsistencies, such as:

  • Unintended bold text that doesn’t match surrounding content.
  • Irregular font sizes across different sections.
  • Spacing issues that make the form appear disjointed.


Step-by-Step Instructions for Consistent Formatting

Step 1: Prepare the HtmlLabel Field for Text Entry

  1. Position your cursor at the top right corner of the HtmlLabel field before pasting text.
  2. Check the text bar alignment toensure it’s positioned in the top corner.
    • Tip: If needed, press backspace to bring the text bar back to the top.




Step 2: Set the Formatting to “Paragraph”

  1. Open the formatting dropdown menu in the HtmlLabel toolbar and select “Paragraph.”
  2. This setting helps display text in a compact and consistent format.
    • Tip: If your text doesn’t automatically format as a paragraph, manually select “Paragraph” before continuing.



Step 3: Copy and Paste Your Text Content

  1. Copy the text from your original document and paste it into the HtmlLabel field.
  2. Important: Text pasted into the HtmlLabel field will maintain the font style and size from your original document, so ensure that your document style aligns with the desired form appearance.




Troubleshooting and Tips for Formatting Consistency

When copying and pasting text into the HtmlLabel field, the text should retain the original formatting from your document. However, here are additional tips to ensure a clean and consistent look throughout. 




1. Adjusting Bold and Font Size for Uniformity

  • If pasted text includes bold sections, double-check these sections and unbold as needed.
  • To standardize font sizes, review pasted sections and adjust sizes as necessary in the toolbar.

2. Spacing Issues and Layout Adjustments

  • Use the space and paragraph settings to create consistent spacing throughout the form.
  • If adjusting spacing in one area affects another, consider splitting content into sections and adjusting each individually.

3. Centering Titles and Headings

  • Highlight the title or heading, then select the center text option for better readability and structure.



Best Practices for Formatting Large Forms

  1. Organize Extensive Documents into Sections:

    • Large documents may need to be broken down into separate parts for smoother formatting and easier readability.

  2. Create a Consistent Look:

    • Since the font style from your document will carry over to the form, make sure your original document uses the preferred font style and size. Use the toolbar if additional adjustments are necessary.
