Operation Manual

Overview
WebPlus gives you the option of previewing the site in your own Web
browser before publishing it to the Web.
When you’re ready to publish, WebPlus takes the publication’s pages
and converts them to HTML and graphics (pictures). You never have to
worry about the HTML code itself.
How do I publish my Web site?
Publishing a site using WebPlus is a one-step operation that:
(1) converts your publication to files for the Web, and
(2) copies the Web files to a location you specify—either a local hard
disk or a Web host.
To publish to a local folder, you don’t even need a connection to the
Internet. Of course, you’ll need a Web browser to view your site.
To publish to the World Wide Web, you’ll need a host for your Web
site—that is, disk space on a server connected to the Internet—so that
others can access your site. You can also publish your site to the remote
server using WebPlus or a separate FTP utility. You’ll find details in
online help (see the topic “Publishing to the World Wide Web”).
