Resolving text formatting issues in Squarespace can be done in a few simple steps:

When copying text from external sources like Microsoft Word or Google Drive, formatting issues may occur in Text Blocks, Blog Excerpts, Image Captions, and Product Descriptions.

Best practices to avoid formatting issues:

• Type text directly into Squarespace
• Use plain text editors (Notepad for Windows, TextEdit for Mac) when preparing content
• Paste as plain text using the clipboard icon or keyboard shortcuts (PC: Ctrl + Shift + V, Mac: ⌘ + Shift + V)

Managing line spacing:

• Press Enter for new paragraphs
• Use Shift + Enter for smaller line breaks
• Remove extra spacing by clearing formatting and rebuilding spacing as needed

Applying heading formats:

• Ensure text is in its own paragraph before applying heading styles
• Use Enter key to separate text that needs different formatting

Removing existing formatting:

1. Highlight problematic text
2. Click the Remove Formatting button
3. Reapply desired formatting using Squarespace's tools

For special characters and foreign text:

• Enter text directly into Squarespace instead of copying and pasting
• This prevents rendering issues across different browsers

After cleaning up formatting, you can enhance your text using Squarespace's built-in formatting options:

• Headings
• Block quotes
• Numbered and bullet lists
• Bold and italic text
• Custom text styles
