Module 2.2
Task 6 - Changing Page and Link Properties


A.M.D.G.


There are several properties that you can change by choosing the Modify menu and selecting Page Properties.

Important information to modify using this dialog box include:

The document title - this is the name that appears in the title bar and task bar when viewing the web page in Internet Explorer

Your page background - this can be a colour or it can be an image. If it is a small image it will be tiled.

Text colour – changing text colour here sets the colour for the whole document. You can still use the Properties toolbox to change the colour of individual words or sentences.

Link colours – links are hotspots that you can click on to move to another page. Having a different colour makes the link stand out from normal text.

There are several link types:

  • Active Link sets the colour that flashes when the link is clicked
  • Visited Link is the colour that a link changes to show you have visited the link previously

 

  • Open Index and Menu
  • Give appropriate titles to each, set backgrounds, text and link colours for each page
  • Preview each document
