Creating your Web Page

Creating a new page and adding text

  1. Open Netscape Composer by going to Start, Programs, Netscape Communicator and clicking on Composer . This will open a blank page as shown below.



  2. Put the cursor in the blank page and begin typing.



  3. To format the text, highlight it and use the buttons on the formatting toolbar (shown below).



    The Formatting menu will allow you to change the format of your text to headings, bulleted text, etc.

    The Font Type will allow you to change how people view the fonts on your page. Tip: Leave it as Variable Width. If you change this setting people may not be able to view the font you specified.

    The Size menu will allow you to change the size of the text.

    The Color menu will allow you to change the color of your text.

    The Style menu will allow you to change the style of your text to bold, italics or underlined . The fourth button in the Style menu will remove all style from the selected text.

    The List type menu is used when you want to create a bulleted or numbered list.

    The Alignment menu is used to increase or decrease indentation and also to change the alignment (left, right or centered).

    The example below shows the previously typed text "My Web Page" with formatting and style settings:



    As you can see, the text is now in Heading 1 format in dark blue italics and it has been centered.
