Properties

The panel on the right shows the settings of the selected block, in one list from its size to its CSS. Sections that do not apply to the block are left out.

The block’s name and one sentence on what it is, with How it works for more; Duplicate, Copy and Delete (in a cell, also Select the table); and Ask AI (Ctrl J), which changes the block by asking. With nothing selected the panel explains how blocks work and shows the document’s headers and footers.

The sections

  • Size: width and height.
  • Arrange, on a box: the blocks inside it stacked, in a row or in a grid. See Arrange, position and text flow.
  • Position and Text flow: where the block sits, and whether text wraps around it.
  • Text and Paragraph: font, size, colour, alignment, emphasis, case, line height and letter spacing.
  • Spacing: the space outside the block and inside it.
  • Background, Border, Opacity and shadow.
  • Columns: text in columns inside the block.
  • In the PDF: whether the block is a bookmark of the PDF, at which level, and under which label.
  • Advanced (CSS): CSS of your own for the block.
  • Name and source: the block’s name in the Outline, and its source: type, tag, ID and HTML.

A table, a cell, a chart, a picture or a field adds its own section: in a cell, Cell sets how many columns and rows it spans, its vertical alignment, and whether it is a header cell.
