building a basic web page

1. text

Text may be arranged and adjusted similar to text in a word processor by

• size - from sizes 1 to 7
• style - a range available including bold and italics
• colour
• font - although it is a good general rule to stick with the "none" font as it will then be easily readable by any computer (your favourite font may not be available on every recipient)

Text can be cut, copied and pasted as in a word processor application.

Most of the text tools are easily accessable from the lower bar on screen.
By rolling the cursor over each icon its purpose is displayed in the space above the B and I icons.
More help is available from the Help drop-down window at the top of the screen.

SIMPLE TIPS:

• There is no need to press Return unless you require a new paragraph or a particular new line. Home Page will auomatically wrap to the next line upon reaching the edge of the page. Thus it will also adjust for each computer screen it is seen on.
• Home Page automatically double spaces when you press Return for a new line. To single space hold the "shift" key down when pressing Return.
• If you require a larger gap than a single space hold the Option key down whilst pressing the Space Bar. Home Page otherwise only allows one space beteen letters or words.
• Try not to use dark blue and especially underline it as underlined dark blue is the generally recognised colour for links.
