Working with Text
You can begin entering text into your web
page just as you would in a word processor and then use the buttons on the
toolbar to format the text.
-
Text Style, Font and Size: Use the combo boxes on the
text-formatting bar to change your Text Style, Font and Font
Size.

- Rich Text - Bold, Italic and Underline:
Use the B, I, and U buttons
on the text-formatting bar to change the appearance of selected
text to bold, italics or underline.

- Alignment, Lists, and Indenting: The next buttons on
the text-formatting bar allow you to select left, center, or right
alignment, insert bulleted or numbered lists, and increase or
decrease the indent level for a piece of text.

-
Text Color:
The next two buttons on the text-formatting bar change the highlight and
text color. Click the tiny arrow beside the font color box to see the
color palette and select a color.

Inserting Links & Bookmarks Links -
Any element on your page can be a hyperlink. The procedure is the same for
making text or pictures hyperlinks.
- In Page view, type the text you want to use as a hyperlink and
then select it. (Or select an image.)
- Click the Hyperlink button
.
- Navigate to the web in which the destination page or file is
located, and then select the page or file.

Bookmarks -
On
a very long page, you can set up bookmarks (or anchors) on the page and
link to them from other areas of the page. You first insert and name the
bookmark (outlined below), and then you create a link to it using the
bookmark button in the Create Hyperlink window (see above).
- In Page view, position the cursor where you want to create a
bookmark, or select the text for the bookmark.
- On the Insert menu, click Bookmark.
- In the Bookmark name box, type the name of the
bookmark.
Inserting Images
Images add interest to a web page. They
may be scanned pictures or ones found on the web which are not
protected by copyright. (When in doubt, assume that images on the
web are copyrighted).
- In Page view, position the cursor where you want to insert a
picture.
- Click the button Insert
Picture from File
(or on the
insert menu, click picture, then from file).
- Browse to the picture you want and
then select the file. You can specify the type of file you want
to view in the Files of type box.
To edit the image,
right-click on the
image. In the pop-up menu, select Picture Properties.
On the Appearance tab, you can change the
picture's layout, including alignment, border and spacing. You can
also modify the picture's size, although it's important to remember
that this will NOT affect the picture's file size or download
time. If you have a very large picture, use a photo editor software
(like Photo Composer or Paint) to resize it.
On the General tab you can
edit the picture’s source, type and hyperlink location.
Inserting Tables
Tables are the best way to align text in columns, or to align text
and images.
- In Page view, position the insertion point where you want to
insert the table.
- On the Table menu, point to Insert,
click Table.

- In the Rows box, enter the number of rows.
- In the Columns box, enter the number of
columns.
- In the Alignment box, select the position for
the table on the page.
- In the Border size box, enter the width you
want for the table border in pixels. If you do not want a
border, type 0.
- To change the table's cell padding
(space between a cell's border and content),
enter a number in the Cell padding box.
- To change the table's cell spacing
(the
space between cells), enter a number in the
Cell
spacing box.
- To change the table's width, do one of the following:
- Select In pixels, then type the width you
want the table to be in pixels.
- Select In percent, then type a percentage
of the available width you want the table to be.
Do not use a size larger than 605 pixel (or 100%) when you use
the regular template, or else it will alter the whole page layout.
If you use the wide template, you can go up to 765 pixel (or
100%).
Note: The properties that you specify for the new
table will be used as the default properties the next time you create a table.
To edit the table properties, right-click inside the
table. On the pop-up menu, Click Table Properties. You can then
select from many options including border size, table width, and
background colors or images.
