Creating Web Pages with &brandShortName; Composer
+
+
&brandShortName; Composer lets you create your own web pages and publish them on the web. You
+ don't have to know HTML to use Composer; it is as easy to use as a word processor.
+
+
Toolbar buttons let you add lists, tables, images, links to other pages, colors, and
+ font styles. You can see what your document will look like on the Web as you create it,
+ and you can easily share your document with other users, no matter what type of browser
+ or HTML-capable email program they use.
+
+
To start using &brandShortName; Composer:
+
+
+
Click the Composer icon in the lower-left corner of any &brandShortName; window.
&brandShortName; Composer is an HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) editor that allows you to create
+ and edit web pages. Composer is a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor,
+ so you can display how your page will look to the reader as you're creating it. It is not
+ necessary for you to know HTML, since most of the basic HTML functions are available as
+ commands from the toolbars and menus.
+
+
Composer also lets you edit the HTML source if you want. To view or edit the HTML source
+ code, open the View menu, and choose HTML Source, or click the <HTML> Source tab in
+ the Edit Mode toolbar at the bottom of the Composer window.
+
+
To create a web page, use one of the methods described below. Once you've started a page,
+ you can add and edit text just as you would in a word processor.
+
+
To create a new page from the Navigator browser:
+
+
+
Open the File menu, choose New, and then Composer Page. A Composer window containing a
+ blank page opens.
+
+
+
To edit a page you're currently browsing in Navigator:
+
+
+
In the Navigator window of the page you're viewing, open the File menu and choose Edit
+ Page. You see a Composer window that contains the page you're viewing.
+
+
+
To create a new page in Composer:
+
+
+
Click the New button in Composer's toolbar.
+
+
+
To start from an HTML file stored on your local drive:
+
+
+
Open the Window menu and choose Composer. You see the Composer window.
+
Open the File menu and choose Open File. You see the Open HTML File dialog box.
+
On your local drive, locate the file that you want to edit.
+
Click Open to display the specified file in a Composer window.
+
+
+
To edit a web page:
+
+
+
Open the Window menu and choose Navigator.
+
Go to a web page by typing the URL of the page (for example,
+ http://www.mozilla.org) in the Location Bar and pressing Enter (Return on
+ Macintosh OS).
+
Open the File menu and choose Edit Page.
+
+
+
Tip: In the Composer window you can quickly
+ open the most recent file you've been working on by opening the File menu, choosing Recent
+ Pages, and then selecting the file you want from the list.
You can save Composer documents in HTML or text-only format. Saving a document in HTML
+ format preserves the document's formatting, such as text styles (for example, bold or
+ italic), tables, links, and images. Saving a document in text-only format removes all the
+ HTML tags but preserves the document's text.
+
+
To save a document as an HTML file:
+
+
+
Open the File menu and choose Save or click the Save button on the Composition toolbar.
+
If you haven't already given your page a title, Composer prompts you to do so.
+ Composer displays the page title in the browser window's title bar when you view the
+ page in the browser. The document's page title also appears in your list of bookmarks
+ if you bookmark the page.
+
+
Composer then prompts you to enter a filename and specify the location where you want
+ to save the file. Make sure you preserve the .html extension in the filename.
+
+
+
+
To change the filename or location of an existing HTML file:
+
+
+
Choose Save As and select a different filename or location.
+
+
+
When you save a page in Composer, all parts of the page (the HTML, images and other
+ files, such as sound files and style sheets), are saved locally on your hard drive. If
+ you only want to save the HTML part of the page, you must change the Composer preference
+ for saving pages. See Composer Preferences - Composer
+ for more information on changing Composer's setting for saving pages.
+
+
If an image location is absolute (starts with "http://") and you are connected to the
+ Internet, you will still see that image in the document in Composer and Navigator. However,
+ if the image location is relative to the page location (starts with "file:///"), then you
+ won't see the image in the local version of the document.
+
+
To save a document as a text-only file:
+
+
+
Open the File menu and choose Export to Text.
+
Enter the filename and specify the location where you want to save the file.
+
+
+
Note: Images do not appear in documents saved in the text-only format.
+
+
Tip: You can choose Revert to Last Saved from the File menu to retrieve the most
+ recently saved copy of the document in which you're working. Keep in mind that your
+ current changes will be lost.
+
+
To view your page in a browser window in order to test your links:
+
+
+
Open the File menu and choose Browse Page (or click Browse in the Composition toolbar).
+ If you have not yet saved your document, Composer prompts you to enter a page title,
+ filename, and location. The Composer window remains open behind the new Navigator window.
To apply a format to a paragraph, begin from the Composer window:
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point where you want the format to
+begin, or select the text you want to format.
+
+
Choose a paragraph format using the drop-down list in the
+Format toolbar:
+
+
+
+
Body Text: Applies the application default font and
+style for regular text, without affecting the spacing before or
+after the text.
+
+
Paragraph: Inserts a paragraph tag (use this to begin a
+new paragraph). The paragraph includes top and bottom margins.
+
+
Heading 1 - Heading 6: Formats the paragraph as a
+heading. Heading 1 is the highest-level heading, while Heading 6 is
+the lowest-level heading.
+
+
Address: Can be used for a web page "signature" that
+indicates the author of the page and the person to contact for more
+information, for example: user@example.com
+
+
You might want to include the date and a copyright notice. This
+format usually appears at the bottom of the web page under a
+horizontal line. Navigator displays the address format in
+italics.
+
+
+
Preformat: This is useful for elements such as code
+examples, column data, and mail messages that you want displayed in
+a fixed-width font. In normal text, most browsers remove extra
+spaces, tabs, and paragraph returns. However, text that uses the
+Preformatted style is displayed with the white space intact,
+preserving the layout of the original text.
+
+
+
+
+
To format text as a heading:
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point anywhere within the text
+that you want to format.
+
+
Using the drop-down list in the Format toolbar, choose the
+level of heading you want, from 1 (largest) to 6 (smallest). Choose
+"Heading 1" for your main heading, "Heading 2" for the next level,
+and so forth.
+
+
+
To apply a list item format:
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point within the line of text that
+you want to format.
+
+
Open the Format menu and choose List.
+
+
Choose the list style:
+
+
+
+
Bulleted: Each item has a bullet (dot) next to it (as in
+this list).
+
+
Numbered: Items are numbered.
+
+
Term and Definition: These two styles work
+together, creating a glossary-style appearance. Use the Term tag
+for the word being defined, and the Definition tag for the
+definition. The Term text appears flush left, and the Definition
+text appears indented.
+
+
+
+
+
Tip: You can quickly apply a list style to a block of text by selecting the text
+ and clicking the Numbered List
+
+ or Bulleted List
+
+ buttons on the Format toolbar.
+
+
To change the style of bullets or numbers:
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point within the text of the list
+item you want to change, or select one or more items in the list if
+you want to apply a new style to the entire list.
+
+
Open the Format menu and choose List Properties.
+
+
Select a bullet or number style from the drop-down list. For
+numbered lists, you can specify a starting number. For bulleted
+lists, you can change the bullet style.
+
+
+
Tip: You can also double-click on a bullet or
+number in a list to display the List Properties dialog box.
+
+
To align a paragraph or text in your page, for example,
+centering or aligning to the left or right:
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point within the paragraph or line
+of text you want to align.
+
+
Open the Format menu and choose Align; then choose an alignment
+option.
+
+
+
Note: You can also use the Format toolbar to
+align text.
Click to place the insertion point at the end of the last list
+item and press Enter (Return on Macintosh OS) twice to end the
+list.
+
+
+
To change one or more list items to body text:
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point within the list item, or
+select the list items.
+
+
In a numbered list, click the numbered list button (or in a
+bulleted list, click the bulleted list button) in the Format
+toolbar.
+
+
+
To position indented text below a list item:
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point within the list item.
+
+
Press Shift-Enter to create the hanging indent.
+
+
Type the text you want to indent.
+
+
Press Shift-Enter to create another indented paragraph, or
+press Return to create the next list item.
+
+
+
Tip:
+You can increase or decrease the indentation of list
+items by clicking anywhere in a list item and then clicking the
+Indent or Outdent button on the Format toolbar. Alternatively,
+click anywhere in a list item and press Tab to indent one level.
+Press Shift+Tab to outdent one level.
+
+
To merge two adjacent lists:
+
+
+
Select the two lists that you want to merge. Be sure to select
+all of the elements in both lists. Note that any text in between
+the two lists will also become part of the merged list.
+
+
Click the bulleted or numbered list button in the Format
+toolbar to merge the lists.
To change the style, color, or font of selected text:
+
+
+
Select the text you want to format.
+
+
Open the Format menu and choose one of the following:
+
+
+
+
Font: Use this to choose a font. If you prefer to use
+fonts specified by the reader's browser, select Variable Width or
+Fixed Width.
+
+
Note: Not all fonts installed on your computer appear.
+Instead of specifying a font that may not be available to all who
+view your web page, it's generally best to select one of the fonts
+provided in the menu since these fonts work on every computer. For
+example, the fonts Helvetica, Arial, Times, and Courier generally
+look the same when viewed on different computers. If you select a
+different font, it may not look the same when viewed using a
+different computer.
+
+
+
Size: Use this to choose a relative font size or
+select an option to increase or decrease text size (relative to the
+surrounding text).
+
+
Text Style: Use this to select a style, such as italic,
+bold, or underline, or to apply a structured style, for example,
+Code.
+
+
Text Color: Use this to choose a color from the color
+picker. If you are familiar with HTML hexadecimal color codes, you
+can type a specific code or you can just type a color name (for
+example, "blue"). You'll find a handy color code converter
+here.
+
+
+
+
+
To change the background color of the page:
+
+
+
Click anywhere in the page.
+
+
Click the background color block in the Format toolbar.
+
+
Choose a background color from the Block Background Color
+dialog box.
+
+
Click OK.
+
+
+
Tip: To quickly change the color of text to the color
+last used, select the text, then press Shift and click on the text
+color block in the Format toolbar. This is useful when you want to
+use one color for separate lines of text.
To find text in the page you're currently working on:
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point where you want to begin your search.
+
Open the Edit menu and choose Find and Replace. You see the Find and Replace dialog
+ box.
+
Type the text you want to locate in the "Find what" field. To narrow the search, check
+ one or more of the following options:
+
+
+
Match upper/lower case: Use this to specify whether the search is for
+ case-sensitive text.
+
Wrap around: Use this to search to the end of the page and then start
+ again from the top or bottom, depending on whether you are searching forward or
+ backwards.
+
Search backwards: Use this to search back from the insertion point to the
+ beginning of the page.
+
+
Click Find Next to begin searching. When Composer locates the first occurrence of the
+ text, click Find Next to search for the next occurrence.
+
Click Close when you are done.
+
+
+
To find and replace text in the page you're currently working on:
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point where you want to begin your search.
+
Open the Edit menu and choose Find and Replace. You see the Find and Replace dialog
+ box.
+
Type the text you want to find and then type the replacement text.
+
To narrow the search, check one or more of the following options:
+
+
Match upper/lower case: Use this to specify whether the search is for
+ case-sensitive text. If you don't select this option, the search will find matching
+ text in both upper and lower case.
+
Wrap around: Use this to search to the end of the page and then start again
+ from the top.
+
Search backwards: Use this to search from the end to the beginning of the
+ page.
+
+
Click Find Next to search for the next occurrence. Composer selects the next occurrence
+ of the text.
+
Click Replace to replace the selected text with the replacement text. Click Replace and
+ Find to replace the selected text and find the next occurrence. Click Replace All to
+ replace every occurrence in the document with the replacement text.
Horizontal lines are typically used to separate different
+sections of a document visually. To insert a horizontal line (also
+called a rule) in your page, begin from the Composer
+window:
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point where you want the line to appear.
+
Open the Insert menu and choose Horizontal Line.
+
+
+
Setting Horizontal Line Properties
+
+
You can customize a line's height, length, width, alignment, and shading.
+
+
+
Double-click the line to display the Horizontal Line Properties dialog box.
+
Edit any of these properties:
+
+
Width: Enter the width and then choose "% of window" or "pixels." If you
+ specify width as a percentage, the line's width changes whenever the Composer
+ window's or browser window's width changes.
+
Height: Type a number for the line's height (in pixels).
+
3-D Shading: Select this to add depth to the line by adding a bevel
+ shading.
+
Alignment: Specify where you want to place the line (left, center, or
+ right).
+
+
Click Use as Default to use these settings as the default the next time you insert a
+ horizontal line.
+
To edit the properties of a horizontal line manually, click Advanced Edit. See the
+ section, Advanced Property Editor, for details.
+
+
+
Tip: You can select "Show All Tags" from the View menu to show all the HTML
+ elements in yellow boxes. Click any yellow box to select everything within that HTML tag
+ or element. Double-click any yellow box to display the
+ Advanced Property Editor dialog box for that HTML tag or
+ element.
To insert special characters such as accent marks, copyrights, or currency symbols:
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point where you want the special
+character to appear.
+
+
Open the Insert menu and choose Characters and Symbols. You see
+the Insert Character dialog box.
+
+
Select a category of characters.
+
+
+
If you choose Accent Uppercase or Accent Lowercase, then open
+the Letter drop-down list and select the letter you wish to apply
+an accent to. (Note: not all letters have accented forms.) Select
+Common Symbols to insert special characters such as copyright
+symbols or fractions.
+
+
+
+
From the Character drop-down list, select the character you
+want to insert.
+
+
Click Insert.
+
+
You can continue typing in your document (or in a mail compose
+window) while you keep this dialog box open, in case you want to
+use it again.
+
+
+
Click Close when you are done inserting special
+characters.
If you understand how to work with HTML source code, you can
+insert additional tags, style attributes, and JavaScript into your
+page. If you are not sure how to work with HTML source code, it's
+best not to change it. To work with HTML code, use one of these
+methods:
+
+
+
Place the insertion point where you want to insert the HTML
+code, or select the text you want to edit, and then open the Insert
+menu and choose HTML. In the Insert HTML dialog box, enter HTML
+tags and text, and then click Insert.
+
+
Select an element such as a table, named anchor, image, link,
+or horizontal line. Double-click the element to open the associated
+properties dialog box for that item. Click Advanced Edit to open
+the Advanced Property Editor. You can use the Advanced Property
+Editor to add HTML attributes, JavaScript, and CSS to objects.
+
+
Open the View menu, and choose HTML Source, or click the
+<HTML> Source tab in the Edit Mode toolbar at the bottom of
+the Composer window. (If you don't see the Edit Mode toolbar, open
+the View menu and choose Show/Hide; then make sure the Edit Mode
+Toolbar is checked.)
+
+
+
Using the Advanced Property Editor
+
+
To add HTML attributes and JavaScript to objects such as tables,
+images, and horizontal lines, you can use the Advanced Property
+Editor.
+
+
Note: Unless you clearly understand how to add, delete,
+or modify HTML attributes and their associated values, it's best
+not to do so.
+
+
If you are not currently viewing the Advanced Property Editor
+dialog box, follow these steps:
+
+
+
From the View menu (or the Edit Mode toolbar), choose Show All Tags.
+
Double-click the object that you want to modify to open its Properties dialog box.
+
Click Advanced Edit to open the object's Advanced Property Editor. The Advanced
+ Property Editor has three tabs, each of which lists the current properties for the
+ selected object:
+
+
HTML Attributes: Click this tab to view or enter additional HTML
+ attributes.
+
Inline Style: Click this tab to view or enter additional CSS
+ (cascading style sheet) properties through the <style> attribute.
+ For more information on using CSS styles in Composer, see
+ Composer Preferences -Composer.
+
JavaScript Events: Click this tab to view or enter JavaScript events.
+
+
To edit a property or attribute in any of the three lists, select the attribute you
+ want to edit. You can then edit the attribute's name or value using the editable
+ Attribute and Value fields at the bottom of the dialog box. To add a new attribute,
+ type it in the Attribute field at the bottom of the dialog box. The new attribute is
+ automatically added when you click in the Value field. To remove an attribute, select
+ it in the list, and click Remove Attribute.
+
Note: Required attributes are highlighted in the Attribute list.
+
Click OK to apply your changes to the Advanced Property Editor dialog box.
+
Click OK again to exit the Properties dialog box.
+
+
+
Composer automatically places quotation marks around any attribute text.
Before you put your document on a web server so that others can
+see it, you should first check the document's HTML formatting to
+make sure it conforms to web standards. Documents containing
+validated HTML are less likely to cause problems when viewed by
+different browsers. Just visually checking your web pages in
+Navigator doesn't ensure that your document will appear correctly
+when viewed in other web browsers.
+
+
Composer provides a convenient way for you to check that your
+document conforms to W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) HTML
+standards. Composer uses the W3C HTML Validation Service, which
+checks your document's HTML syntax for compliance with HTML 4.01 standards.
+This service also provides
+information on how to correct errors.
+
+
Note: You must be connected to the Internet to use this
+feature.
+
+
To validate your document's HTML syntax:
+
+
+
Open the Tools menu, and choose Validate HTML. If you have
+unsaved changes, Composer asks you to save them before
+proceeding.
+
+
When the W3C HTML Validation Service page appears, click Browse
+and locate the file on your hard disk that you want to
+validate.
Typically, you won't need to change the editing mode from the
+default (Normal). However, if you want to work with the document's
+HTML source code, you may want to change editing modes.
+
+
Composer allows you to quickly switch between four editing modes
+or views. Each editing mode allows you to continue working on your
+document, but displays varying levels of HTML tags (and tag
+icons).
+
+
Before you choose an editing mode:
+
+
+
Open the View menu, choose Show/Hide, and then make sure there
+is a checkmark next to Edit Mode Toolbar.
+
+
+
The Edit Mode toolbar has four tabs:
+
+
+
Normal: Choose this editing mode to see how the document
+will look online while you are creating it. Choose this mode to
+show table borders and named anchor icons. All other HTML tag icons
+are hidden.
+
+
Show All Tags: Choose this mode to show all HTML tag
+icons.
+
+
<HTML> Source: Choose this mode to view and edit
+the document as unformatted HTML source code. When you save the
+document, the Normal mode reappears.
+
+
Preview: Choose this mode to display and edit the
+document exactly as it would appear in a browser window, except
+that links and JavaScript functions will not be active.
+
+
+
Note: JavaScript functions, frames, links, Java,
+embedded objects and animated GIF files are not active in any of
+the editing modes. To display these items in their active
+state, click the Browse button on the Composition toolbar to
+load the page into a browser window.
This section describes how to modify properties that apply to an entire table as well
+ as the rows, columns, or individual cells within a table. If you are not currently
+ viewing the Table Properties dialog box, follow these steps:
+
+
+
Select the table, or click anywhere inside it.
+
Click the Table button
+ on the toolbar,
+ or open the Table menu and choose Table Properties. The Table Properties dialog box
+ contains two tabs: Table and Cells.
+
Click the Table tab to edit these properties:
+
+
Size: Use this to specify the number of rows and columns. Enter the width
+ of the table and then choose "% of window" or "pixels." If you specify width as a
+ percentage, the table's width changes whenever the Composer window's or browser
+ window's width changes.
+
Borders and Spacing: Use this to specify, in pixels, the border line width,
+ the space between cells, and the cell padding (the space between the contents of the
+ cell and its border).
+
Note: Composer uses a dotted outline to display tables with a zero border;
+ the dotted line disappears when the page is viewed in a browser.
+
Table Alignment: Use this to align the table within the page. Choose an
+ option from the drop-down list.
+
Caption: Choose the caption placement from the drop-down list.
+
Background Color: Use this to choose a color for the table background, or
+ leave it as transparent.
+
+
To apply additional attributes or JavaScript events, click Advanced Edit to display
+ the Advanced Property Editor.
+
Click Apply to preview your changes without closing the dialog box, or click OK to
+ confirm them.
+
+
+
To view, change, or add properties for one or more cells:
+
+
+
Select the row, column, or cell, then open the Table menu and choose Table Properties.
+ The Table Properties dialog box appears.
+
Click the Cells tab to edit the following properties:
+
+
Selection: Choose Cell, Row, or Column from the drop-down list. Click
+ Previous or Next to move through rows, columns, or cells.
+
Size: Type a number for Height and Width, and then choose "% of table"
+ or "pixels."
+
Content Alignment: Select a vertical and horizontal alignment type for
+ the text or data inside each cell.
+
Cell Style: Select Header from the drop-down list for column or row
+ headers (which centers and bolds the text in the cell); otherwise choose Normal.
+
Text Wrap: Select "Don't wrap" from the drop-down list to keep text from
+ wrapping to the next line unless you insert a paragraph break. Otherwise, choose
+ Wrap.
+
Background Color: Select a color for the cell background or leave it as
+ transparent.
+
Note: To apply additional attributes or JavaScript events, click Advanced
+ Edit to display the
+ Advanced Property Editor
+
+
Click Apply to preview your changes without closing the dialog box, or click OK to
+ confirm them.
+
+
+
Tip: To change the text color or background color of one
+or more selected cells or the entire table, select the cells or
+click anywhere in the table and then click the text color or
+background color icon in the Format toolbar.
+
+
Tip: To change the color of cells to the color last used,
+select the cell, then press Shift and click on the background color
+picker. This is useful when you want to use one color for
+individual cells.
Composer allows you to quickly add or delete one or more cells,
+columns, or rows in a table. In addition, you can set options that
+allow you to maintain the original rectangular structure or layout
+of the table while you perform editing tasks.
+
+
To add a cell, row, or column to your table:
+
+
+
Click inside the table where you want to add a cell (or
+cells).
+
+
Open the Table menu and then choose Insert.
+
+
Choose one of the cell groupings. (You can also insert a new
+table within a table cell.)
+
+
+
To delete a cell, row, or column:
+
+
+
Click a row, column, or cell to place the insertion point. Or,
+select neighboring cells to delete more than one row at a time. To
+select neighboring cells, drag over the cells you want to select.
+To select individual cells in a table, hold down the Ctrl key
+(Windows and Linux) or the Command key (Macintosh OS) and click on
+the cells you want to select.
+
+
Open the Table menu and choose Delete.
+
+
Choose the item you want to delete.
+
+
+
To join (or merge) a cell with the cell on its right:
+
+
+
Click inside the cell on the left, open the Table menu, and
+choose Join with Cell to the Right.
+
+
+
To join (or merge) adjacent cells:
+
+
+
Select adjacent cells by dragging over them.
+
+
Open the Table menu, and choose Join Selected Cells.
+
+
+
To split a joined cell back into two or more cells:
+
+
+
Click inside the joined cell, open the Table menu, and then
+choose Split Cell. Composer puts the entire contents of the joined
+cell into the first of the two cells.
+
+
+
Refer to Selecting Table Elements
+for information on how to select non-adjacent cells, rows, and
+columns.
+
+
Changing the Default Table Editing Behavior
+
+
By default, when you delete one or more cells, Composer
+preserves the table's structure by adding cells at the end of a
+row, wherever needed. This allows you to delete one or more cells
+but still maintain the table's original rectangular layout, or
+structure. Otherwise, deleting cells can result in a table with
+empty spaces, or whose outline appears irregular due to an uneven
+number of cells.
+
+
To change the default table editing behavior, begin from the
+Composer window:
+
+
+
Open the Edit menu, choose Preferences, and then choose
+Composer.
+
+
Under Table Editing, set the following preference:
+
+
+
Make sure that "Maintain table layout when inserting or
+deleting cells" is checked to ensure that you don't get an
+irregularly shaped table.
You can use one of two ways to quickly select a table, cell, or group of cells:
+
+
+
Click in the table, open the Table menu, choose Select, and
+then choose an item from the submenu. For example, to select a
+table, click anywhere inside the table, open the Table menu, choose
+Select, and then choose Table.
+
+
Or, you can use the mouse as a selection tool:
+
+
+
+
To select a group of adjacent cells: click in a cell, and then
+drag to select the cells you want. Drag the mouse left or right to
+select a row; up or down to select a column.
+
+
To select non-adjacent cells: press Ctrl (Windows or Linux) or
+Command (Macintosh OS) and then click inside a cell. Keep pressing
+Ctrl (Windows or Linux) or Command (Macintosh OS) as you click to
+select additional cells.
+
+
To extend a selection to include adjacent cells: click inside a
+cell and then drag over additional cells to extend the
+selection.
+
+
To select one or more adjacent columns or rows: drag up or down
+to select the first column or row, and then drag left or right to
+select additional adjacent columns or rows. Press Shift and drag to
+the right to select an entire row. Press Shift and drag up or down
+to select an entire column.
Open the Table menu, choose Select, and then choose Table.
+
+
+
+
To copy or move the table: Use the Edit menu's cut, copy, and
+paste options.
+
+
To delete the table: Open the Table menu again, choose Delete,
+and then choose Table.
+
+
+
Converting Text into a Table
+
+
To convert text into a table:
+
+
+
Select the text that you want to convert into a table. Keep in
+mind that Composer creates a new table row for each paragraph in
+the selection.
+
+
Open the Table menu and choose Create Table from Selection. You
+see the Convert to Table dialog box.
+
+
Choose the character Composer uses to separate the selection
+into columns, or specify a different character to use. If you
+choose Space as the separator for columns, choose whether or not
+you want Composer to ignore multiple space and treat them as one
+space.
+
+
Leave "Delete separator character" checked to have Composer
+remove the separator character when it converts the text into a
+table. If you don't want Composer to delete the separator
+character, uncheck this option.
+
+
Click OK.
+
+
+
Note: Text formatting is removed when the
+selected text is converted to a table.
You can insert GIF, JPEG, BMP, and PNG (Portable Network
+Graphics) images into your web page. You can also use them to
+create links. When you insert an image,
+Composer saves a reference to the image in your page.
+
+
Note: If you plan to publish your pages to the web, it's best not to
+use BMP images in your pages.
+
+
Tip: It's best to first save or publish your
+page before you insert images into it. This allows Composer to
+automatically use relative references to images once you insert
+them.
+
+
To insert an image:
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point where you want the image to
+appear.
+
+
Click the Image button
+on the toolbar, or open the Insert menu and choose Image. You see the Image Properties
+dialog box.
+
+
Type the location and filename of the image file, or click
+Choose File to search for an image file on your hard drive or
+network.
+
+
Type a simple description of your image as the alternate text
+that will appear in text-only browsers (as well as other browsers)
+ when an image is loading or when image loading is
+disabled.
+
+
Alternatively, you can choose not to include alternate text.
+
+
+
If needed, click other tabs so you can adjust the settings (for
+example, alignment) in the Image Properties dialog box.
+
+
+
Tip: To quickly insert an image: Drag and drop it onto
+your page.
+
+
Tip: To insert a line break after all images in a
+paragraph, choose Break Below Images from the Insert menu.
Once you've inserted an image into your page, you can edit its properties and customize
+ the layout in your page, such as the height, width, spacing, and text alignment. If you
+ are not currently viewing the Image Properties dialog box, follow these steps:
+
+
To edit the properties for a selected image:
+
+
+
Double-click the image, or select it and click the Image button
+ on the toolbar
+ to display the Image Properties dialog box.
+
Click the Location tab to edit these properties:
+
+
Image Location: Type the filename and location of the image file. Click
+ Choose File to search for an image file on your hard drive or network.
+
URL is relative to page location: If checked, Composer converts the URL to
+ be relative to the page's location. This is especially useful if you plan to publish
+ your pages on a web server so that others can view them. Using relative URLs allows
+ you to keep all your linked files in the same place relative to each other, regardless
+ of their location on your hard disk or a web server.
+
Unchecking this box causes Composer to convert the URL to a full (absolute) URL.
+ You typically use absolute URLs when linking to images on other web servers
+ (not stored locally on your hard disk).
+
If you have never saved or published the page, you must first save the page in
+ order to enable this checkbox. (This checkbox is not available if you open the Image
+ Properties dialog box in a message compose window.)
+
Alternate Text: Enter text that will display in place of the original image;
+ for example, a caption or a brief description of the image. It's a good practice to
+ specify alternate text for readers who use text-only web browsers or who have image
+ loading turned off.
+
Don't use alternate text: Choose this option if the image does not
+ require alternate text or if you don't want to include it.
+
+
Click the Dimensions tab to edit these properties:
+
+
Actual Size: Select this option to undo any changes you've made to the
+ dimensions and return the image to its original size.
+
Custom Size: Select this option and specify the new height and width, in
+ pixels or as a percentage. This setting doesn't affect the original image file,
+ just the image inserted in your page.
+
Constrain: If you change the image size, it's a good idea to select this
+ in order to maintain the image's aspect ratio (so that it doesn't appear distorted).
+ If you choose this option, then you only need to change the height or width, but not
+ both.
+
+
Click the Appearance Tab to edit these properties:
+
+
Spacing: Specify the amount of space surrounding the image; between the
+ image and adjoining text. You can also put a solid black border around the image
+ and specify its width in pixels. Specify zero for no border.
+
Align Text to Image: If you've placed your image next to any text, select
+ an alignment icon to indicate how you want text positioned relative to the image.
+
Image Map: Click Remove to remove any image map settings.
+
+
Click the Link tab to edit these properties:
+
+
Enter a web page location: If you want to define a link for this image,
+ enter the URL of a remote or local page, or select a named anchor or heading from
+ the drop-down list. Click Choose File to search for an image file on your hard
+ drive or network.
+
URL is relative to page location: If checked, Composer converts the URL to
+ be relative to the page's location. This is especially useful if you plan to publish
+ your pages to a web server so that others can view them. Using relative URLs allows
+ you to keep all your linked files in the same place relative to each other,
+ regardless of their location on your hard disk or a web server.
+
Unchecking this box causes Composer to convert the URL to a full (absolute) URL.
+ You typically use absolute URLs when linking to images on other web servers (not
+ stored locally on your hard disk).
+
If you have unsaved changes, you must first save the page in order to enable this
+ checkbox. (This checkbox is not available if you open the Image Properties dialog
+ box in a message compose window.)
+
Show border around linked image: If checked, displays the link
+ highlight color around the image.
+
+
To apply additional attributes or JavaScript events, click Advanced Edit to display
+ the Advanced Property Editor.
Use the Page Properties dialog box to enter properties such as
+the title, author, and description of the document you're currently
+working on. This information is useful if you plan to use the page
+on a web site, since search engines use this type of information to
+index your page. You can view this information from the browser
+window by opening the View menu and choosing Page Info.
+
+
+
Open the Format menu and choose Page Title and Properties.
+
+
Edit any of the following properties:
+
+
+
+
Title: Type the text you want to appear as the window
+title when someone views the page through a browser. This is how
+most web search tools locate web pages, so choose a title that
+conveys what your page is about.
+
+
Author: Type the name of the person who created the
+document. This information is helpful to readers who locate the
+document by using a web search tool to search on name.
+
+
+
Tip: If you enter the Author name in Composer's
+preferences,
+then you won't have to enter it each time you create a new page.
+
+
+
+
Description: Enter a brief description of the document's
+contents.
You can change the background color or specify a background
+image for the page you're currently working on. These choices
+affect the way text and links in your page appear to people viewing
+the page through a browser.
+
+
To set the colors and background for the current page, begin
+from the Composer window:
+
+
+
Open the Format menu and choose Page Colors and Background.
+
+
Edit any of the following properties:
+
+
+
+
Reader's default colors: Select this if you want your
+page to use the color settings from the viewer's browser
+for text and links.
+
+
Use custom colors: Select this if you want to specify
+the colors of text and links. For each element, select a color from
+the drop-down list. Sample output for each type of link appears in
+the pane on the right.
+
+
Background image: Select this if you want the background
+of your page to be an image. Type the name of the image file or
+click Choose File to locate the image file on your hard drive or
+network.
+
+
Note: Background images are tiled and override background
+color selections.
+
+
+
URL is relative to page location: If checked, Composer
+converts the URL to be relative to the page's location. This is
+especially useful if you plan to publish your pages on a web server
+so that others can view them.
+
+
Using relative URLs allows you to keep all your linked files in
+the same place relative to each other, regardless of their location
+on your hard disk or a web server.
+
+
Deselecting this option causes Composer to convert the URL to a
+full (absolute) URL. You typically use absolute URLs when linking
+to images on other web servers (not stored locally on your hard
+disk).
+
+
If you have unsaved changes, you must first save the page in
+order to enable this checkbox.
+
+
+
+
+
+
Note: To apply additional attributes or JavaScript events, click Advanced Edit
+to display the Advanced Property Editor.
To create a link within the same page, for example a link that the reader can use to
+ jump from one section to another, you must create an anchor (target location),
+ and then create a link that points to the anchor. Anchors are also called
+ named anchors.
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point at the beginning of a line where you want to
+ create an anchor, or select some text.
+
Open the Insert menu and choose Named Anchor. You see the Named Anchor Properties
+ dialog box.
+
Type a unique name for the anchor in the Anchor Name field (up to 30 characters).
+ If you include spaces, they will be converted to underscores ( _ ). If you selected
+ some text in step 1, this box already contains a name.
+
Click OK. An anchor icon appears in your document to mark the anchor's location:
+
+
+
+
To create the link on which readers can click to jump to the anchor:
+
+
+
Select the text or image that you want to link to the anchor.
+
Click the Link button or open the Insert menu and choose Link. You see the Link
+ Properties dialog box.
+
+
If you're creating a link to an HTML file on your computer, click Choose File
+ to locate it.
+
If you're creating a link to a named anchor (target), select it from the list of
+ the anchors currently available in the page.
+
If you're creating a link to a level heading (for example, Heading 1 - Heading 6),
+ select it from the list of headings currently available in the page.
+
+
Click OK.
+
+
+
Note: To test the link you just created, open the File menu and choose Browse Page,
+ then click the link.
+
+
Tip: If you did not first create named anchors, you can use the Link dialog box to
+ create links to headings that already occur in the page.
You can create links from your page to local pages on your own
+computer or on your workplace's network, or to remote pages on the
+Internet.
+
+
Tip: It's best to first save or publish your
+page before you create links to other pages. This allows Composer
+to automatically use relative references for links once you create
+them.
+
+
To create a link to another page:
+
+
+
Click to place the insertion point where you want to create a link, or select the text
+ or image that you want to link to the anchor.
+
Click the Link button. You see the Link Properties dialog box.
+
Define your link:
+
+
Link text: If you've already selected an image file or text before clicking
+ the Link button, the selected text or file will be entered here. Otherwise, you must
+ enter the text that you want to use as the link.
+
Link Location: Type the local path and filename or remote URL of the page
+ you want to link to. If you're not sure of the path and filename for a local file,
+ click Choose File to look for it on your hard disk or network. For remote URLs, you
+ can copy the URL from the browser location field. Alternatively, you can select a
+ named anchor or a heading in the current page that you want to link to.
+
URL is relative to page location: If checked, Composer converts the URL to
+ be relative to the page's location. This is especially useful if you plan to publish
+ your pages to a web server so that others can view them. Using relative URLs allows
+ you to keep all your linked files in the same place relative to each other,
+ regardless of their location on your hard disk or a web server.
+
Deselecting this option causes Composer to convert the URL to a full (absolute)
+ URL. You typically use absolute URLs when linking to pages on other web servers
+ (not stored locally on your hard disk).
+
If you have unsaved changes, you must first save the page in order to enable this
+ checkbox.
+
+
To apply additional attributes or JavaScript events, click Advanced Edit to display the
+ Advanced Property Editor.
+
Click OK.
+
To test the link you just created, click the Browse button and then click the link to
+ make sure it works as expected.
+
+
+
Tip: You can copy a link quickly by clicking and dragging
+the link from another window and then dropping it onto your page.
+For example, you can click and drag a link from a web page,
+bookmark, or Mail window and drop it onto your page. You can also
+right-click (Control+click on Macintosh OS) a link on a web page
+and choose Copy Link Location from the menu. Then you can paste the
+link location into the Link Location field in the Link Properties
+dialog box.
You can make images, such as JPEG, GIF, or PNG files, behave
+like links in your pages. When the reader clicks a linked image,
+the browser window displays the page that the image is linked
+to.
+
+
+
Select an image on your page.
+
+
Click the Link button
+on the toolbar, or open the Insert menu and choose Link.
Tip: Drag and drop a linked image from the Navigator
+window into a Composer window to copy both the image and the
+link.
+
+
Note: To remove the blue border on images used as links,
+open the Link Properties dialog box, click the Link tab, and uncheck "Show border around linked image".
If your pages exist only on your local hard disk, you can browse
+your pages, but no one else can. Composer lets you publish your
+pages to a remote computer called a web server.
+
+
When you publish your pages to a web server, Composer copies
+(uploads) your pages to a computer that lets others browse your
+pages. Most ISPs provide space on their web servers for web page
+publishing. To find a web server where you can publish your pages,
+ask your ISP, help desk, or system administrator.
Tip: It's best to first save or publish your
+page before you insert links or images into it. This allows
+Composer to automatically use relative references for links and
+images once you insert them.
+
+
To publish a document:
+
+
+
Open the HTML document that you want to publish, or create a new Composer document.
+
When you're ready to publish the document remotely, click the Publish button.
If you
+ have published this document before, Composer remembers the document's publishing settings
+ and starts publishing the document. While publishing is in progress, Composer displays a
+ publishing status dialog box.
+
+
If you have never published this document before, Composer displays the Settings tab
+ in the Publish Page dialog box so you can enter information about the document's remote
+ publishing location. See Publish Page - Settings for more
+ information. When you're done entering information, click Publish.
+
If you have never saved the document, Composer displays the Publish tab in the Publish
+ Page dialog box, so you can enter the document's filename. See
+ Publish Page - Publish for more information.
+ After entering the filename, click Publish.
+
+
To browse your published page, click the Browse button. Test the page's links and make
+ sure there are no missing images.
+
Continue editing the page as necessary. When you're ready to update the remote page
+ with your changes, click the Publish button.
+
+
+
When you publish a document for the first time, Composer changes
+the document's file:/// URL to an http:// URL to
+indicate that you are now editing the published document. If you
+want to save the document locally (on your computer's hard disk),
+click the Save button. You'll be prompted to choose a filename and
+location on your hard disk for the document.
Make sure your Composer filenames end with the .html or .htm
+file extension. Make sure your image filenames end with the .JPG,
+.GIF, or .PNG file extension. Don't use spaces or other special
+symbols in your filenames. Keep your filenames short and only use
+lowercase or uppercase letters and numbers.
+
+
If your images appear as broken links when you browse a
+document on the web server, you may have forgotten to include the
+images when you published. Open the File menu, and choose Publish
+As to display the Publish Page dialog box. In the Publish tab, make
+sure you check "Include images and other files" and then click
+Publish.
In a Composer window, open the File menu, and choose Recent Pages, then select the
+ document from the list.
Alternatively, browse to the location of the document you
+ want to update by entering the document's HTTP address (the document's web address)
+ in the Navigator browser's Location field.
+
Open the File menu, and choose Edit Page.
+
Edit the document as necessary.
+
When you're ready to update the remote page with your changes, click Publish in
+ Composer's toolbar.
+
+
+
Tip: To delete a page or image
+you've published
+on a web server, you must use an FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
+program. You also must use an FTP program if you want to create
+subdirectories or to rename files on the web server. Ask your
+service provider if they recommend a particular FTP program. You
+can usually find information on FTP programs in the Help or Support
+sections of your service provider's web site. FTP programs are also
+available from shareware sites such as ZDNet Downloads.
To change a document's filename or publishing location:
+
+
+
In a Composer window, open the File menu, and choose Recent Pages, then select the
+ document from the list.
Alternatively, browse to the location of the document you
+ want to update by entering the document's HTTP address (the document's web address)
+ in the Navigator browser's Location field.
+
Open the File menu, and choose Edit Page.
+
Edit the document as necessary.
+
Open Composer's File menu and choose Publish As. Composer displays the Publish tab
+ in the Publish Page dialog box.
+
Enter a different page title, if necessary.
+
Enter a different filename for the page, if necessary.
+
From the Site Name list, choose the publishing location you want to use. To set up a new
+ publishing location, click New Site. See
+ Publish Page - Settings for more information.
+
Click Publish to save the document to the new location.
If you plan to publish documents to more than one remote
+location, you can set up Composer to save the publishing
+information for each remote site you use, so that you don't have to
+enter it each time you want to publish.
+
+
To create a new publishing site, begin from a Composer
+window:
+
+
+
Open the Edit menu and choose Publishing Site Settings.
+Composer displays the Publish Settings dialog box.
+
+
Click New Site.
+
+
For "Site Name," enter the nickname by which you want to refer
+to this publishing site.
+
+
For example, if you will use the new site to publish documents
+related to the "Meteor" project, you might want to use the site
+name "Meteor". Site names remind you about the types of documents
+you publish at each site.
+
+
+
For "Publishing address," enter the complete URL provided to
+you by your ISP, system administrator, or web hosting service. This
+URL must begin with either ftp:// or http://.
+
+
The publishing address specifies the location where documents
+are published (uploaded) at this site. If you are not sure what to
+enter, ask your ISP or system administrator.
+
+
+
For "HTTP address of your home page," enter the complete URL
+that you would enter in the Navigator browser to view pages at this
+site. Do not include a filename or subdirectory as part of the URL.
+
+
+
This URL must always begin with http://. In some cases,
+this URL is the same as the publishing address. If you are not sure
+what to enter, ask your ISP or system administrator, or else leave
+it blank.
+
+
+
For user name, enter the user name you use to log in to your
+ISP or web hosting service.
+
+
For password, enter the password for your user name.
+
+
Select "Save Password" to save your password securely using
+Password Manager so that you don't have to enter it each time you
+publish pages at this site.
If you have set up more than one publishing site, but you
+typically use only one site for most of your publishing needs, you
+can designate the site you use most often as the default publishing
+site. Composer will use the default publishing site for all
+documents that you publish, unless you specifically choose an
+alternate site.
+
+
Regardless of how many sites you've set up, you can always
+publish a document to a different site by choosing Publish As from
+Composer's File menu. See
+Changing the Filename or Publishing Location
+for more information.
+
+
To choose the default publishing site, begin from a Composer
+window:
+
+
+
Open the Edit menu, and choose Publishing Site Settings.
+Composer displays the Publish Settings dialog box.
+
+
Select a publishing site from the list.
+
+
If you only have one publishing site set up, Composer uses that
+one as the default site.
Deleting a publishing site removes the site's settings from
+Composer. If you later wish to publish to the site, you must
+re-enter the site's settings.
+
+
To delete a publishing site's settings, begin from a Composer
+window:
+
+
+
Open the Edit menu, and choose Publishing Site Settings. Composer displays the Publish
+ Settings dialog box.
+
Select a publishing site from the list.
+
Click Remove Site.
+
Composer only removes the site's settings; the remote site itself is not
+ affected.
If one or more of your files fail to publish, the Publishing
+Status dialog box displays an error message that can help you
+determine what went wrong and how to fix it. Click the
+Troubleshooting button in the Publishing Status dialog box to get
+help on solving your publishing problem.
+
+
If you are still unable to publish a file, save the file to your
+hard disk by opening Composer's File menu, and choosing Save. You
+can then open the file at a later time to try to publish it. To
+quickly locate the file later, open Composer's File menu, and
+choose Recent Pages.
Close the Publishing Status dialog box, if it is open.
+
+
Open the Edit menu and choose Publishing Site Settings.
+
+
In the Publish Settings dialog box, confirm that the site
+settings are correct for the site you are trying to publish to. If
+you're not sure, check with your ISP or web hosting service.
+
+
+
+
Verify that you correctly entered the publishing
+settings. You may have accidentally mis-typed one of the
+settings.
+
+
Verify that you entered the correct publishing
+address. Web hosting services or ISPs may refer to the
+publishing address as the "server name", the "hostname", or the
+"server/host". They often specify the publishing location as
+ftp.myisp.com/username, where username is your
+user name.
+
+
For the publishing address to be correct, you must precede the
+publishing location with either ftp:// or
+http://. For example, the correct publishing address for
+the above-mentioned site would be
+ftp://ftp.myisp.com/username.
+
+
+
+
+
+
Checking Your Filenames
+
+
Examine the names of any files that failed to publish. Make sure
+that the filenames:
+
+
+
Use only numbers or lowercase or uppercase letters. While it's
+acceptable to create filenames that use uppercase letters, you can
+avoid potential errors in later locating the published file if you
+only use lowercase letters in your filenames.
+
+
When you publish files to a web server, filenames become
+case-sensitive on the web server. It may be harder for you to
+remember files names that use only uppercase letters or that use a
+mix of uppercase and lowercase letters.
+
+
For example, when you try to locate a published file by typing
+the filename's web address into Navigator's Location field, you
+must enter the filename exactly as you created it, using the same
+combination of uppercase and lowercase letters.
+
+
+
Don't use punctuation characters or spaces. Underscores ( _ )
+or hyphens ( - ) are OK.
+
+
End with .html or .htm (for Composer filenames).
+
+
Use less than 32 characters.
+
+
+
Fixing Publishing Errors
+
+
If one or more of your files fails to publish, look at the
+messages Composer displays in the Publishing Status area of the
+Publishing dialog box. You can use these error messages to help
+determine what went wrong and what to do to fix the problem.
Error Description: One or more image files or CSS files failed to
+ publish because Composer could not find them. Some typical reasons might be:
+
+
+
The file location you typed is incorrect.
+
The file's location on the web is not accessible.
+
The file's location was changed or the file was deleted or moved to another
+ location.
+
+
+
Possible Solutions:
+
+
+
Look for broken images in the page you are trying to publish. Broken images will
+ appear with this icon
+ in the page. To correct the image's address, double-click the broken image to
+ display the Image Properties dialog box so you can enter the correct address.
+
Remove the broken image from the page by selecting it (click once on the image),
+ and then pressing Backspace or Delete on your keyboard.
+
If the image is unavailable because the server where the image resides is
+ inaccessible, try publishing the page at a later time.
+
If the missing file is a CSS file, you must first verify the correct location of
+ the CSS file. To fix the file's address in Composer, click the HTML Source tab and
+ edit the file's location in the HTML source code. You should only edit the HTML source
+ if you are familiar with HTML tags.
+
+
+
+
+

+
+
+
Error Description: You specified the name of a remote subdirectory that
+ does not exist at the publishing site. Composer can only publish to a remote subdirectory
+ that already exists at the publishing location. Or, you specified a filename that is
+ identical to the name of an existing subdirectory at the publishing site.
+
+
For example, in the Publish Page dialog box, under the Publish tab:
+
+
+
for "Site subdirectory for this page", you may have typed the name of a subdirectory
+ that does not exist at the publishing location.
+
you checked "Include images and other files," and then you typed the name of a
+ subdirectory that does not exist at the publishing location.
+
one of the files you are attempting to publish has the same name as a subdirectory at
+ the publishing site.
+
+
+
Possible Solutions:
+
+
+
Use a separate FTP program if you want to create, rename, or delete subdirectories at
+ the publishing site. Ask your service provider if they recommend a particular FTP
+ program. You can usually find information on FTP programs in the Help or Support
+ sections of your service provider's web site. FTP programs are also available from
+ shareware sites such as ZDNet Downloads.
+
Don't use subdirectory names that end with ".html" or ".htm". Only your Composer
+ filenames should end with ".html" or ".htm".
+
Subdirectory names are case-sensitive, so be sure to enter a subdirectory name
+ exactly as it appears at the publishing location.

+ There is not enough disk space available to save the file filename.
+
+
+
Error Description: The remote web server's hard disk is full, or you
+ may have exceeded the amount of disk space allocated to you by your ISP or web hosting
+ service.
+
+
Possible Solutions:
+
+
+
Use a separate FTP program to delete unnecessary files at your publishing site. Ask
+ your service provider if they recommend a particular FTP program. You can usually find
+ information on FTP programs in the Help or Support sections of your service provider's
+ web site. FTP programs are also available from shareware sites such as ZDNet
+ Downloads.
+
Find out from your ISP or web hosting service about increasing your disk space
+ allocation, or switch to a different service that can satisfy your needs.
+
If the web server is located at your company or school, contact the network
+ administrator to find out if you can publish to a different location that has more disk
+ space, or if you can request that additional disk space be allocated to your current
+ publishing location.
+
+
+
+
+
Error Message:
+
+
+ The filename or subdirectory name is too long.
+
+
+
Error Description: The number of characters in the filename or the
+ subdirectory name is not supported by the web server computer that you are trying to
+ publish to.
+
+
Possible Solutions:
+
+
+
Limit the length of your filenames and subdirectory names to less than 32 characters.

The Publish Page - Publish tab lets you specify where you want
+to publish a document. These settings apply to the current
+document.
+
+
If you are not already viewing the Publish Page - Publish tab,
+follow these steps:
+
+
+
Open the File menu and choose Publish As. The Publish Page
+dialog box appears.
+
+
Click the Publish tab.
+
+
+
+
Site Name: Lists all the publishing sites you've
+created, so you can choose the site that you want to publish to. To
+create a new site, click New Site.
+
+
Page Title: Specifies the document's page title as it
+appears in the browser window's title bar when you view the page in
+the browser. The document's page title also appears in your list of
+bookmarks if you bookmark the page.
+
+
Filename: Specifies the document's filename. Make sure
+you include the .html or .htm extension in the filename.
+
+
+
Warning: If a file on the remote site you're
+publishing to has the same filename as one you're uploading, the
+newly uploaded file will replace the existing one. You will not be
+asked to confirm the action.
+
+
+
Site subdirectory for this page: If you leave this
+blank, Composer publishes the page to the main (root) publishing
+directory at this site. If you want to publish the page to a remote
+subdirectory that resides underneath the main publishing directory
+at this site, enter the name of the subdirectory or choose it from
+the list. Composer keeps track of the locations you type here, so
+you can select from a list of remote locations you've previously
+used. Keep in mind that subdirectory names are case-sensitive.
+
+
+
Note: The site subdirectory you choose must
+already exist at the remote server.
+
+
+
Include images and other files: If checked,
+Composer publishes any images and other files referenced by this
+page. You can choose to publish these files to the same location as
+the page, or else you can choose to publish these files into a
+remote subdirectory that exists underneath the main publishing
+directory.
+
+
+
Tip: To create remote subdirectories or delete
+published pages or images, you must use an FTP (File Transfer
+Protocol) program. Ask your service provider if they recommend a
+particular FTP program. You can usually find information on FTP
+programs in the Help or Support sections of your service provider's
+web site. FTP programs are also available from shareware sites such
+as ZDNet Downloads.
The Publish Page - Settings tab lets you specify your login information for the remote
+ publishing site, as well as the publishing settings for the remote site. These settings

+ as the publishing address. If you are not sure what to enter, ask your ISP or system
+ administrator, or else leave it blank.
+
User name: Specifies the user name you use to log into your ISP or network.
+
Password: Specifies the password for your user name.
+
Save Password: Select this to encrypt and save your password securely

The Publish Settings dialog box lets you create, edit, and
+delete publishing site settings, and also lets you set the default
+publishing site.
+
+
If you are not already viewing the Publish Settings dialog box,
+follow these steps:
+
+
+
Open the Edit menu and choose Publishing Site Settings.
+Composer displays the Publish Settings dialog box.
+
+
+
+
New Site: Lets you specify settings for a new publishing
+site. Composer adds the name of the new publishing site to the list
+of available publishing sites.
+
+
Set as Default: Sets the selected publishing site as the
+default publishing site. Typically, the default publishing site is
+the remote location that you most often use for publishing
+documents. All documents you create or edit will be published to
+the default publishing site, unless you specifically choose an
+alternate site in the Publish Page dialog box.
+
+
+
To publish a document to a different remote location, open the
+File menu and choose Publish As to choose a different publishing
+destination.
+
+

+from Composer.
+
+

+with either ftp:// or http://.
+
+
+
The publishing address specifies the location where documents
+are published (uploaded) at this site. If you are not sure what to
+enter, ask your ISP or system administrator.
+
+
+
HTTP address of your homepage: Specifies the HTTP
+address of your publishing home directory. Do not include a
+filename or subdirectory as part of the URL.
+
+
+
This URL must always begin with http://. In some cases,
+this URL is the same as the publishing address. If you are not sure
+what to enter, ask your ISP or system administrator, or else leave
+it blank.
+
+
+
User name: Specifies the user name you use to log in to
+your ISP or network.
+
+
Password: Specifies the password for your user
+name.
+
+
Save Password: Select this to save your

+it each time you publish pages at this site.
Composer preferences allow you to specify settings for saving
+files and for table editing. These settings apply to every document
+you create.
+
+
If you are not already viewing the Composer preferences, follow
+these steps:
+
+
+
Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
+
+
Click the Composer category.
+
+
+
+
Maximum number of pages listed: Specify the maximum
+number of pages that are listed under Recent Pages in the File
+menu.
+
+
Retain original source formatting: This option preserves
+line breaks and the page's original formatting for the HTML source
+code. Select this if you want to preserve white space (extra lines,
+tabs, etc.) that makes the HTML source code more readable. This
+preference does not affect how your pages appear in a browser
+window.
+
+
Reformat HTML source: This option reformats the HTML
+source code to make it more readable, by inserting line breaks and
+indentation. This preference does not affect how your pages appear
+in a browser window.
+
+
Save images and other associated files when saving
+pages: If checked, all images, JavaScript (JS), Cascading Style
+Sheet (CSS), and other associated files are saved in the same
+location as the document when the document is saved for the first
+time or when the document is saved to a new location. If unchecked,
+only the HTML file is saved.
+
+
+
For example, when editing a remote page, this setting ensures
+that all related files associated with the remote page will be
+saved locally when you save the page to your hard disk.
+
+
+
Always show Publish dialog when publishing pages: If
+checked, Composer always displays the Publish Page dialog box when
+you click the Publish button or choose Publish from the File menu.
+If not checked, Composer only displays the Publish Page dialog box
+if it needs more information in order to publish the page.
+
+
Maintain table layout when inserting or deleting cells:
+Select this if you want Composer to always preserve the table's
+layout (that is, keep it in a rectangular shape) by adding cells
+where needed. If you deselect this option, when you delete one or
+more cells, Composer removes the cell border as well, which can
+result in a table with empty spaces, or an outline that appears
+irregular due to an uneven number of cells.
+
+
+Use CSS styles instead of HTML elements and
+attributes: Enables the use of Cascading Style Sheet (CSS)
+formatting in your Composer documents. With this preference
+enabled, Composer generates HTML 4.01 formatting with CSS inline
+styles for elements.
+
+
+
+
If this preference is not enabled, Composer generates HTML 4.01
+formatting, but does not use CSS styles.
+
+
Compared to HTML, HTML with CSS formatting is more portable,
+more maintainable, and more compatible when viewed with different
+browsers. If you enable this preference and then edit a document
+created without CSS, Composer replaces the edited elements with CSS
+styles.
+
+
If you enable CSS styles, you can choose a text highlight color
+for selected text using the text highlight color button on the
+Format toolbar. You can also choose a color background for any
+element on the page. (These features are not available if this
+preference is not enabled.)
New page preferences allow you to specify settings for colors
+and background images that apply to every document you create.
+
+
If you are not already viewing the New Page Settings, follow these steps:
+
+
+
Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
+
+
Double-click the Composer category and click New Page
+Settings.
+
+
+
+
Author: Enter your name. This will add your
+name to the HTML source code for each new page you create.
+
+
Reader's default colors: Select this if you
+always want your pages to use the color settings from the viewer's
+ browser for text and link elements.
+
+
Use custom colors: Select this if you always
+want to specify the colors that are applied to text and link
+elements. Then for each element, select a color by clicking the
+color button next to each element.
+
+
Background image: Type the location and name
+of an image file, or click Choose File to locate the image file on
+your hard disk or network.
+
+
