Working with Text
Notice the gray Link button on the selected frame’s bottom edge. The
button’s icon tells you about the frame and the story text it contains:
A square (as on the name/address frame) indicates a
frame with all its text displayed—either a standalone
frame or the last frame in a linked sequence.
A plus sign (as on the “Here’s the place” frame) shows
there’s more text in the story than the frame can display.
Extra text is stored in an invisible overflow area. You
can either make the frame larger or shorten the story.
A down arrow shows that the frame’s text continues into
a following linked frame.
Objects on the master page
Let’s take a brief detour to review a key WebPlus concept...
Y Click the company name heading text at the top of the page.
Nothing happens! Why not?
Y Click (once) on the
&XUUHQW3DJH box at
the lower left. The screen display changes and the box now
indicates you’re working on the master page.
You can think of the master page as a background that’s shared
between all the pages of your site. When you switch to the master page,
objects on the page vanish, leaving only background objects. In this
case, that includes the header and footer, address information, various
graphic elements, and text links to other sections of the site. These are
the common elements the designer of this particular Wizard has
determined should appear on each page of the site.
Y Now click the &XUUHQW3DJH box again (once only) to return to the
page layer.
