Adding Text to a Page
A blank home page just won’t do. Next, you’re going to add some text to the home page using
a few different methods.
Since it’s likely that the home page will be the first page visitors will see in your web, it’s
your best opportunity to create that all-important first impression. And unless your home page
contains some meaningful information, it may also be the last page visitors ever see, because
they may not come back! So be sure to take extraordinary care in deciding what is added to
this page. You want it to be the best page on your entire site.
The fastest way to convey a meaningful message is concise text. For all its glitz and glamour,
the majority of Web content is plain, work-a-day text. Because text is so prevalent, putting all
that text into pages can be time-consuming. Learning the best way to put text on a page is
critical if you want to have extra time for other things.

Then, depending on the method you will use, you can:
• Type the text directly in FrontPage.
• Copy text from another open application and paste it into FrontPage.
• Insert a file’s contents by choosing Insert→File. Then navigate to the
folder containing the file you want, change the Files Of Type drop-
down list to All Files, select the file, and then click Open.
When you paste items in Office XP applications, the Paste Options smart tag
button will appear. Smart tags conveniently display a list of context-sensitive
options, such as whether or not to paste text with existing formatting or just
the text.
