To style text in a rich text element that is bound with a CMS collection in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the rich text element: Start by selecting the rich text element on your Webflow canvas or in the Navigator panel.

  2. Access the typography settings: In the right-hand sidebar, click on the typography settings tab (represented by a capital "T" icon).

  3. Apply global styles: By default, any text within a rich text element inherits its styles from the global text styles you've set in your Webflow project. You can modify these global styles to fit your design by going to the style panel (represented by a paintbrush icon) and making changes to the text styles under the Typography section.

  4. Apply class-based styles: If you want to override the global styles for specific sections of text within the rich text element, you can apply class-based styles. To do this, select the text you want to style within the rich text element and go to the style panel. Create or select the class you want to use and make modifications to its typography settings.

  5. Use the CMS Rich Text field formatting options: When using a rich text field within a CMS collection, you can also provide formatting options for content editors to use when populating the CMS content. These options can be defined in the Collection Editor settings, under the field settings for the rich text field. By allowing content editors to choose from pre-defined styles, it gives them more flexibility while maintaining design consistency.

By following these steps, you can easily style text within a rich text element that is bound with a CMS collection in Webflow. Remember to leverage global styles for consistent typography and use class-based styles for specific sections of text as needed.
