How to Use Dreamweaver 8 or Dreamweaver CS3 to Remove Font Tags

Have an old website that needs an update? Have some old HTML that you want to bring into a modern site. Adobe Dreamweaver makes the job easy.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Adobe Dreamweaver software

Use Dreamweaver Commands

1. Open the page you want to clean up in Dreamweaver.

2. 
   Begin by selecting the command to Clean Up HTML.

   Choose Command > Clean Up HTML from the menu.

3. 
   Check the Specific Tag(s) option and type font.

   The Clean Up HTML/XHTML dialog opens. If this is an older page, you probably want to let Dreamweaver do all the cleanup it can. To remove font tags, make sure to check Specific Tag(s) and type "font" in the empty text box following it. Also select Show Log on Completion.

4. 
   Success! Dreamweaver removed 36 specific tags.

   Click "OK" and the command will run. When Dreamweaver finishes, a small window will tell you the results (if you checked Show Log on Completion).

5. Save the page so your changes will not be lost.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also use the Edit > Find and Replace to remove font tags from an entire directory or site, but it requires searching for an exact match and you may miss some. The Clean Up HTML command removes any font tag.
