Selecting this tab will open the composer program. The most basic function on any graphic web design program is to format text so that it can be made accessible to users over the World Wide Web. Netscape Composer is no different. Text can be inserted in the same way as with any word processing program. The Text Editing Toolbar allows for such basic functions as changing size, color, and style of text , as well as changing the alignment of text and insertion of bulleted or numbered lists.
Composer also incorporates a spell check program.
While there is nothing to prevent one from creating large sections of text in Composer, many will find it easier to simply save files from Word into HTML and then edit them using Composer. Those of you who either have existing files that you wish to put on the web, or need to work with very large sections of text will find it much easier to create and save these as HTML, a built in function of Word 97,98, and 2000. Once you begin working with HTML you will find it necessary to save your work on your hard drive, as well as on the MTSU mainframe. It is highly recommended that you create a single file to save all you work and downloaded images in. This will save you both time and effort.
