Problem with using italics

Question

I am almost done with this homepage, but I need to have two different paragraphs render as italic AND flush left, the type is flush left before I apply the italic property. Once I apply the italic property, the type does become italic, but the first line of the paragraph becomes indented. I have not been able to figure out where this is happening.

Anybody got any ideas? The original copy in Word, was not indented. I just do not see anything that would cause this... maybe because I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

Without seeing your code it's anybody's guess what may be going on. But ordinarily, MS Word junk needs to be stripped out before you paste into HTML docs.

In Design View, always use Edit > Paste Special (Ctrl+Shift+V). Paste as text only or text with structure. See screenshot.

For anything more than guesses, we need to see your code -- all of it. A link to your online page is the best way to get help.

tags do not in and of themselves change paragraph indents. So the question is what are you doing to apply italic text to your paragraph?A
is the semantic tag used for quotations. If you're using
you'll need to adjust the styles in your custom stylesheet.Nancy
