Problem Cause/Fix
All my text is centered You failed to close the centering with </center>. Simply insert that after the material to be centered. Centering should not be used for the body of a message or document. It should be reserved for headings and the like (see Do's and Don'ts of document preparation).
All my text is bold. You failed to close the centering with </b>. Simply insert that after the material to be centered. Centering should not be used for the body of a message or document. It should be reserved for headings and the like (see Do's and Don'ts of document preparation).
I'm typing a list, but the words, when they wrap, don't indent. When typing a list, you should use the list command (if you are working directly on the source material) or the list button on the tool bar. When you view a list in View/Source, you should be able to find something like <ol> ... </ol> or <ul> ... </ul> as bookends surrounding list items which begin with <li>
I want a paragraph to appear to the right of a photo, but I can only get one line on the right, and the rest wraps under the picture. With this kind of formatting, it is best to achieve what you want using the <table></table> structure, placing the photo in one cell and the text in another. Example:

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<img src="myphoto.jpg">
<td>
My text paragraph I want to the right
</table>
I put a table in my page, and the text disappears when I view it with a browser. Yet when I view the HTML, all the text is there. This is a typical problem. The reason is that you have failed to close your table with </table>. the fix of course is to insert the table closing.
I don't have a table in my page, but text disappears after one of my links. It could be a word or a group of words or a whole paragraph that disappears. This is covered in the link problems and probably stems from failing to put the > at the end of the link anchor.
  • I changed my background color, but now my text disappeared.
  • I changed my background color, but now my link text disappeared.
 Check your font color. Is it set to be the same as the background? Beginners often make this mistake. They like, say, a background color of black, but the forget that their text is also black. You cannot see black text on a black background. The same goes for link colors. If you are going to play with colors, you have to select wisely. Remember that you do need contrast, and you need to avoid color blindness combinations.
