Hi, Everyone. Two-part question for you:
What I want to do:
Thank you!
How to edit a style in 2019 New UI.
I think you will find it straightforward from there but come back with detail questions.
I strongly recommend creating a simple project that you use solely for testing things like this. Much safer and will not wreck your live project.

How inline formatting will bite you is that if you set a style so that you get say Verdana 18pt red and then you are told the company want it in blue, you just have to make one change. Everywhere you have used that style will change. If you apply Verdana 18pt red inline to 500 topics, you have to go to each one.
Generally most of us tackle each problem as we find it by reference to sites such as w3schools, other resources and asking here. We all start with zero knowledge.
RoboHelp's online help covers what you have asked and without going into the HTML. For example you can find out how to edit styles. There is also information in the RoboHelp Reimagined sample project. That shows you where to edit styles.
I think Amber (yes that is her actual name rather than her forum name) covered images. I can post something tomorrow about styles, it's late here right now.
Text boxes are more a Word thing. I'm guessing a single cell table would do what you want.

Sure you can use them. You can also jump off a cliff but I wouldn't recommend it. 🙂

Haha! I'll take your advice, re. cliff jumping.
Thank you, Peter! I'm learning a ton and am feeling good about my project. You and your team have been awesome.
Have a great day.
