Size Three: <font size=3>Size Three</font>

Size Four: <font size=4>Size Four</font>

Size Five: <font size=5>Size Five</font>

Breaks

Because you can not use Carriage Returns (ENTER key), you must use either Paragraph Breaks or Line Breaks for spacing purposes.
 

Paragraph Break -- <p> - Use whenever you want to begin a new paragraph. You may use an end tag for paragraph </p>, but it is not necessary. Example, If you insert a paragraph break here <p>

The next line will start here.  

Line Break -- <br> - Use if you want to start a new line with less spacing than a Paragraph Break. There is no closing tag for a Line Break. Example, if you insert a line break here <br>
The next line will start here.  

Alignment  

You have the option to set alignment of your Paragraph Text. You have 3 choices: Left, Right, or Center.

Left Alignment: <p align=left>
Right Alignment: <p align=right>
Center Alignment: <p align=center>
