Format text
Make words bold, italic, linked or a different color, and highlight a word in your accent color.
Titles, subtitles, button labels and most text boxes have a small toolbar above them. It works like a word processor: highlight some words, then click a button.
The toolbar #
| Button | Does |
|---|---|
| A (color) | Opens the colors. Pick Accent to use your theme’s accent color, one of the ready-made colors, or 🎨 for any color by its hex code (like #cc4410). |
| B | Bold. |
| I | Italic. |
| 🔗 | Turns the highlighted words into a link. Paste the address when asked. |
| Clear | Removes formatting from the highlighted words. With nothing highlighted, it clears the whole box. |
Words colored with Accent follow your theme. If you change the accent color later, they change too. Words in a fixed color stay that color.
Highlight a word in a title #
The templates color one word of a title, like “Welcome Home”. To do the same, highlight the word, click A and choose Accent.
Paragraphs and line breaks #
- In a Text block, leave a blank line between paragraphs.
- Press Enter once for a new line inside the same paragraph.
- Single-line boxes, like button labels, stay on one line.
Emoji #
Emoji work anywhere in text. Icons on buttons, banners and menus have their own box with a picker of common church emoji, like 🙏 👋 📅 ☕ and 👶, and you can paste any other.
