Controlling overflowing frame text
Fitting story text precisely into text frames is part of the art of laying out
websites. If there's too much story text to fit in your text frame, WebPlus stores it
in an overflow area hidden from view (but not lost!) at the bottom of the frame.
The Text overflow button displays under the overflowing frame to indicate
this hidden text, so it's important to ensure the text is made to display again,
otherwise your story will remain truncated.
To do this, several options are open to you:
• Physically resize you text frame if you have space.
• Consider rewriting your story, making it more concise!
• Resize your text, as described below.
To resize frame text once frames are sized and positioned, various
text sizing and AutoFit options are available on the Frame context toolbar.
Inserting pictures
The Assets tab (Pictures category) acts as a "basket" for initially gathering
together and then including pictures in your site. Its chief use is to aid the design
process by improving efficiency (avoiding having to import pictures one by one)
and convenience (making pictures always-at-hand). For picture-rich websites in
particular, the tab is a valuable tool for dragging pictures directly into bordered
or unbordered picture frames or for simply replacing existing pictures on the
page.
For photos from your digital camera, you can simply navigate to the folder
containing your already downloaded photos (i.e., on your hard disk) and include
them in the tab. Similarly, scanned images already saved to your hard disk can
be added by this method.
WebPlus also lets you insert pictures from the Quick Build tab or Drawing
toolbar.
