    Video Transcript

    "Now let’s say we wanted to find font for just this specific section. Now we can do that really easily, and we can change the color and the size to. And to do it, we do it like this; so let’s pick, say, the first paragraph here. We would just go in here and do, font, face =, you know, let’s do, courier, comma (oops, forgot the equals); courier, comma, courier, new, and end that. And then within this font face bracket we can also change the color, to like something like this, and hit save. We can change the size, it's all the same. Let’s see, now this text has become burgundy, and it's gone from being a nice Helvetica to a courier new. But you notice right here that I had meant for it to be just one paragraph and it ended up being two. That's because I forgot to close out my font bracket at the end of this paragraph. And so it just kept going until the previous one had been closed out. So to fix that, if we were to fix it, I would go up here, and close it off right here, hit save, and refresh. And now it's just the paragraph that I had wanted."
