Change text color
by selecting text and then choosing a color
from the toolbar. The "More Colors"
option offers a wider array of basic Web page colors, and also allows
customizing to a virtually limitless range of options. Be careful how you
use text color: it can look ugly or be difficult
to read.

Normal text wraps automatically at the end of a line. A carriage
return ("enter") leaves a blank line between paragraphs.
You can use a Line Break (under "Insert" in the
main menu, or use <shift><enter>) to force a carriage return without creating a
blank line |
Formatted text does not wrap; you
must use a carriage return
("enter") to go to the next line.
Use <shift><enter> to go to the
next line rather than leave a
blank line.
Formatted text is useful for
tabular data when lining up
numbers and text vertically is
important, but it is really a
hold-over from an earlier Web
page era, before tables rendered
it obsolete.

 Bullet lists can have:
- Multiple points listed
- Sub-points such as
- This one and
- This other one
- Use the "indent" functions to make sub-points
|
 Numbered lists also allow for:
- Multiple points listed
- In numerical order
- With sub-points, also numbered
- Like this one
- And this one
- Which "unindent" back to the main list of points, for a
beautiful outline format.

 You
can also highlight text to emphasize
a point to your readers. Remember, though, that if
you highlight everything, highlighting loses its point. Also, make
sure that the highlight color and the text are compatible.

To enter text on your Web page, just start typing. FrontPage works
somewhat similar to Word as a text processor, though with fewer options
(Web pages offer less flexibility in fine-tuning text). Use the tool
bar or the menu bar to change the font type and size, bold or italicize,
indent, change colors, etc.
