This section describes the Nexaweb Studio menus that provide functionality for use with the Visual Editing perspectives, the main Nexaweb Studio view from which you design Nexaweb applications.

Formatting Menu

The Formatting menu provides options for formatting:

Individual component style parameters
Components and component style parameters in relation to other components

The Formatting menu provides options for example for changing the text style of an individual component, or the text style of multiple selected components at one time. In addition, the formatting menu provides options for formatting components in relation to each other, for example by aligning components along an axis.
