Creating a stand-alone web page 63
To create a new page based on a template:
1.
In the Contribute browser, click the New Page button in the toolbar, or in the browser or
editor, select File > New Page.
The New Page dialog box opens.
2.
In the Create new page for section, expand the website in which you want to create the new
page, if it is not already expanded.
3.
In the Create new page for section, expand the Te m p l a t e s folder, and then select a template.
Note: If you don’t see the Templates folder, then your Contribute administrator has restricted the
types of new pages that you can create. For more information, talk to your Contribute
administrator or see “Settings for new web pages” on page 210.
A preview of the page you select appears in the Preview pane on the right side of the dialog
box.
4.
Enter a page title in the Page title text box.
This title appears in the browser title bar when a website visitor views the page; it does not
appear on the page itself.
5.
Click OK.
The new page opens as a draft in Contribute. Be sure to add a link to your new page before you
publish it (see “Creating text and image links” on page 127
).
Note: Contribute creates the new page in the same folder as the page you were viewing when you
created the page (unless you selected another website in step 2). You can change the folder
location when you publish the new page, if you need to.
Creating a stand-alone web page
You can use Contribute to create pages that arent on a website you’ve connected to. You can save
the page on your computer or network.
To create a new draft that is not associated with a Contribute website:
1.
In the Contribute browser, click the New Page button in the toolbar, or in the browser or
editor, select File > New Page.
The New Page dialog box appears.
2.
In the Create new page for section, expand My Computer (Windows) or This Mac
(Macintosh), and then select Blank Web Page.
Note: Be sure to select the option under My Computer (Windows) or This Mac (Macintosh) and
not under a website that you have a connection to.
