Creating a Blank Web Page

If you choose "Blank Web Page" from the File|New menu, this is what your screen will look like.

Although it looks similar to a Word document, there are some differences. Firstly, since everbody's Web browser will display the page differently, there is no ruler to align things with. Also, the Style button on the Formatting toolbar will contain the six heading levels that are common with HTML.

These are just some of the styles available.

Shown below are some sample items you can place in a web page.

The following are the buttons that accomplished each task

Changes the Background Color
Style button for Heading1 Style
Style button for Heading 2 Style
Style button for Heading 3 Style
Increases/Decreases font size
Creates a horizontal line
Creates a bulleted list
Creates a numbered list

There are also buttons to insert a picture and video. You can change the color of the text in the same way you would do it for a Word document , and you can even add tables in the same way as a Word document.
