Headings and styles

Options relating to text are located on the bottom row of the toolbar - the Formatting Tool Bar.

A. To type in FrontPage, select the format you wish to type in from the pull down menu on the toolbar. (Normal, address Headings 1-6, etc.) The most commonly used styles are illustrated below:

Normal

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4

Heading 5
Heading 6
Address

A caution about changing the font: Writing a web page is different from typing on a word processor. How your page looks to the viewer depends largely on the computer the viewer is using to browse the web. If you change the font you type in, unless their machine has that font installed on it, your text will not appear the way you intended it to look. I suggested that you type all of your text in the same font and that you use a very common one (ex. Times New Roman).

B. You can change the size of your text farther by clicking on the large A or the small A.

C. You can also make your text bold, italicized or underlined and justify it right, left or centered just like you would in MicrosoftWord.

D. You can change the color of your text by clicking on the textcolor.BMP (2742 bytes) icon. A color menu pops up and you can click on the color you want your text to be.

.E. You can also change the color of text that is a link on your web page.

1. Go to the Format menu and slide down to Background. The following dialog box will appear.

formatbackground.BMP (588342 bytes)

2. Hold your mouse down on the arrow beside Hyperlink, Visited Hyperlink or Active Hyperlink.

3. Select the color you want and let go of the mouse button.

F. You can created a numbered or bulletted list in FrontPage using the list.BMP (4266 bytes)  icons.

G. The icons indent or un-indent paragraphs and lines of text.

You can also create graphical headings using the program Image Composer. For instructions on how to do this see Graphics.
