Section 5: Insert Menu continued

---

Go to the Insert Menu and select List.   The Insert List dialog box will open, as shown. To make a list, you have two choices: an Ordered List or an Unordered List. The main difference in the two is the way you can identify the items in the list. An Ordered List can be identified with Numbers, Letters of the alphabet, ( either capitals or lowercase ) or i, ii, iii, etc. The items in an Unordered List can be preceeded by a disc, a circle, or a square. ( See chart below. ) Enter the first item of the list and click Add. Repeat for this step for each item in the list. Click to check Mark and select the symbol you want to preceed the items on the list. Then, click Insert and the list will be inserted into your HTML document.

First, click an insertion point in your HTML document where the Definition List should appear. Then, under the Insert Menu, go down to Definition List. When selected, the Insert Definition List dialog box opens. In the first box, type what your list is to define. Tab down and type the definition in the second box. After you have typed the subject and its definition, click the Add Button and your text will appear in the upper window. Type your next subject, and its definition, and click the Add Button. When all of your subjects to define, and their definitions, have been typed and added to the top window, click the Insert Button and your Definition List will be inserted into your HTML document at the proper point.    The following definition list is an example only and is some copy "borrowed" from my own website. Original Art A painting such as a watercolor on paper, oil or acrylic on canvas, is an original work of art. Because it is a unique work of the artist, it is said to be "the original." Because there is but one copy, and is not mass-produced, it has more value. Digital Painting When a painting is created in the computer using a paint program such as Corel Painter, there is no "original" art. The only way to show and sell digital paintings is through prints. They can be limited edition, signed and numbered, prints also. Limited Edition Print Fine art prints are often made from an artist's original painting. To keep the value of each print high, they are sometimes limited in the number of reproductions made. Signed and Numbered, Limited Edition Prints When an artist decides a painting would sell to art collectors and dealers, the artist will make a signed and numbered limited edition print release. This means the print number will be limited to a certain number, say 500 prints, and the artist will sign and number each print. It is the next best thing to owning one of the artist's original paintings. Value of the Work Just as original paintings increase in value over the years, so can a limited edition print increase in value, especially if it is a limited edition and signed and numbered by the artist who created the work. Pull down the Insert Menu again and select Formatting Insert Formatting is for creating Font Tags. Check each box where you will be making a selection. Select a Font Size in the pull down menu at the top of the dialog box. Fonts for the web range in sizes from 1 to 7, ( as shown below. ) Next, click the Chooser Button and select a color for the font. Then, enter the names of the fonts of your choice, or choose them from the fonts on your computer from the pull down list of fonts. ( Be careful to only use common fonts most people will have on their computers, if not, they won't see the font you intended for them to see on your web page. ) When finished, click the Insert Button and the Font Tag will be inserted into your HTML document. It will look like this: <FONT size="3" color="#FF0000" face="arial,helvetica,verdana"></FONT> Font Sizes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 CSS - ( Cascading Style Sheets ) is also found in the Insert Menu When setting up a web page or a website, Style Sheets allow you to set a <STYLE> for all elements in one central location. Later, if changes are made to one part of the website, the changes will automatically be made throughout the site. You can Define a Style Sheet through choices made in numerous dialog boxes ( shown below ) or insert an existing style sheet from another document. When you select Define Cascading Style Sheet, there are five choices for the elements of the Style Sheet. All are shown below. This should keep you busy for a while. Meta Tags are also found under the Index Menu. Filling out the fields in the two dialog boxes, shown below, will help the Search Engines find your website. Here, you can enter a Description of your website, Keywords and other things to help identify your website. I used the Fowarding feature, shown at the bottom of the second dialog box, for the Introduction Page of my own website. After 5 seconds, the Main Page of my site opens automatically. I think it's a nice feature. PREV Back to Tutorial Home Page MORE...
