To style text in HTML using <p>, <b> and <u> tags:

Simply enclose the text you want to style with the appropriate tag. For example, to make text bold, you would enclose it with <b> tags like this:

<b>This text is bold.</b>

To make text underlined, you would enclose it with <u> tags like this:

<u>This text is underlined.</u>

PRO TIP: If you are considering adding a Word document to your Squarespace website, be warned that this could negatively affect your website’s search engine optimization (SEO). Word documents are not optimized for the web and thus could hurt your website’s ranking in search results. In addition, visitors may have difficulty viewing or navigating a Word document on your website. If you do decide to add a Word document to your Squarespace site, be sure to take measures to optimize it for the web (e.g., by converting it to PDF format).
