Where can I find the "text-overflow" style in Webflow?

In Webflow, the "text-overflow" style can be found in the Typography section of the Style panel. The "text-overflow" property controls what happens when the text content of an element overflows its allotted space.

To apply the "text-overflow" style in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Select the element to which you want to apply the "text-overflow" style.

  2. In the right sidebar, click on the Style tab to access the Style panel.

  3. Scroll down to the Typography section, or use the search bar to locate it quickly.

  4. Look for the "text-overflow" property within the Typography section. It may be collapsed, so click on the arrow next to Typography to expand the options.

  5. Click on the dropdown menu next to "text-overflow" to see the available options. You can choose from values like "clip", "ellipsis", or "initial".

  6. Select the desired "text-overflow" option. For example, if you choose "ellipsis", any overflowing text will be truncated with an ellipsis (...).

  7. Customize other text-related styles, such as font size or line height, if desired.

  8. Once you've finished styling the element, preview it to see the "text-overflow" effect. You can do this by clicking the Preview button at the top right corner of the Webflow Designer.
