Here are some ways to format the text in your firm's "About the Firm" and "Sectors" text boxes, as well as the text in the individual practice description text boxes.

Italicizing Text:

To have text appear in italics, have your text be preceded and immediately followed by one asterisk (do not add a space between the text and the asterisks). You can copy and paste the text below and edit it as you desire:

 

*This will create italicized text*

Bolding Text:

To have text appear in bold, have your text be preceded and immediately followed by two asterisks (do not add a space between the text and the asterisks). You can copy and paste the text below and edit it as you desire:

**This will create bolded text**

Creating Bullet Points:

To create bullet points, type in an asterisk followed by one space and then the text that you want to follow. You can copy and paste the text below and edit it as you desire:

* This is the first bullet point

* This is the second bullet point

* This is the third bullet point

Creating Separator Lines Between Sections in Your Text:

If you want to create lines to visually separate text in your descriptions, then type in at least three asterisks in a row which will create a line. You can copy and paste the text below and edit it as you desire:

***

This is text that is separated from the text above it by one line (formed by three asterisks) and separated from the text below it by another line (also formed by three asterisks.

***

Creating Numbered Lists:

To create a numbered list, type in the number "1" with a period (full stop) immediately after it, followed by one space and then the text you want to follow. Hit Enter/Return to get to the next line, and they type in the number "2" with a period (full stop) immediately after it, followed by one space and then the text you want to follow. Repeat as many times with the next number(s) in the sequence (3, 4, etc.). You can copy and paste the text below and edit it as you desire:

1. This is the first item in a list.

2. This is the second item in a list. 

3. This is the third item in a list.

The spacing between the list items is single spacing only (adding an extra return in between each will not increase the space).
