Troubleshooting & FAQs
- Why does my hyperlinked text look different than the example? How a link looks (color, underline, weight) will vary based on your website's theme and colors, as set in the Design area.
- I am pasting text but getting strange font sizes: Click the Paste as Plain Text button before pasting to strip out any hidden formatting that is being carried over from the source document.
