Part I ✦ FrontPage Essentials
✦ Outside Borders: Defines borders around selected text and/or objects
✦ Font and Highlight Color: Adds a background highlight to selected text
Editing text
You can type anywhere on a page in Page view to add text. You’ll find that all stan-
dard text-editing and navigation techniques used in other Windows applications
can be used to edit text in Page view. FrontPage also provides spell checking as you
type, underlining words not found in its dictionary in wavy red lines, so that you
can correct spelling as you go. You can find detailed coverage of text editing in
Chapter 5, but for now, you can add and edit text by typing and deleting.
If you enter or edit text in a shared border (they are separated from the page by
dotted lines in Page view), you affect the way that shared border appears on each
page of your Web site. Shared borders are explored in detail in Chapter 7.
As you enter text on your Web pages, click the Save tool in the toolbar to save your
changes. Changes to a Web are saved by saving individual pages (you don’t “Save” a
Web; you save pages in it to update files).
Formatting text
The tools in the Formatting toolbar can be used to apply formatting to selected
text. For example, you can select text, click the down arrow next to the Font Color
button, and select a font color to apply to selected text from the palette, as shown
in Figure 1-15.
Adding images
You have several ways to quickly add images to a Web page in Page view:
✦ Copy and paste images through the Clipboard.
✦ Insert an image from a file on your local drive or from the Internet.
✦ Use FrontPage’s nice collection of clip art.
✦ Scan an image directly into FrontPage.
To insert clip art, follow these steps:
1. Choose Insert ➪ Picture➪ Clip Art from the menu. The Clip Art Task Pane opens.
2. Enter a word in the Search Text field of the pane, and choose from your installed
collections of clip art and media types in the Other Search Options area of the
Task Pane (or simply accept the defaults, which search all collections for all
media).
