Adding text to a web page
You can add text to a web page by typing text, copying and pasting text, or dragging text from
another application or web page to your Contribute draft.
If you are using the Windows version of Contribute, you can add the entire contents of a
Microsoft Word or Excel document to a web page. For more information, see “Adding Microsoft
Word and Excel documents to a website” on page 71.
Tip: Your Contribute administrator can specify the amount of space that Contribute adds between
paragraphs when you press Enter or Return. For more information, talk to your Contribute
administrator or see “Setting page-editing and paragraph settings” on page 207.
To add text to a draft, do one of the following:
• Place the insertion point in the draft; then type text directly into your draft.
• Select text in another application; then select Edit > Copy. Place the insertion point in your
Contribute draft; then select Edit > Paste.
Tip: Leave Microsoft Excel running when you copy and paste Excel content to Contribute so that
the pasted content retains its formatting.
• Drag selected text from another application to your Contribute draft.
Note: Contribute might preserve text formatting applied in the other application.
Adding the current date to a page
