54 Working with Text
♦ In general, it’s not a good idea to use more than one column for
story text. On a Web page, no one wants to scroll to the bottom of
one column and then back to the top of the next. You may see
sophisticated Web pages that use tables and frames to demarcate
different kinds of content, and you may be able to emulate these
effects, but they work best with short text blocks and hyperlinked
lists, rarely for the presentation of longer material.
♦ To avoid registration problems, make sure text is on top, not
behind images.

In this chapter, you’ve examined the placeholder text in the template
site and learned how to create, edit, and import standard text. You
know enough now to begin replacing the placeholder text with your
own content.
As you work on your actual Web site, you’ll benefit from learning how
to link frames together, set defaults for new text, use shortcuts, insert
returns and special characters, and work with the various proofing
tools. For details on these and other text options, see online help.
