Text boxes are a great way to add content to your Squarespace website. They allow you to control the layout of your text, and you can even add custom CSS to style them however you like.

To format a text box in Squarespace, there are a few things you need to do. First, you need to add a text box element to your page. You can do this by clicking on the “Add” button in the top left corner of the page, and then selecting “Text Box” from the list of options.

Once you’ve added a text box to your page, you’ll need to click on it to select it. Then, you can use the formatting options in the top toolbar to change the font size, color, and other properties of your text.

If you want more control over the styling of your text box, you can switch to the HTML editor by clicking on the “HTML” button in the top toolbar. In the HTML editor, you can style your text using standard HTML tags, like <p>, <b> and <u>.

Once you’ve added and formatted your text box, don’t forget to save your changes by clicking on the “Save” button in the top right corner of the page!
