iNetWord is ideal for creating and maintaining Web pages because it puts everything you need at your fingertips -- uniformly formatted, centrally stored, and available anywhere.

Web sites often look different than printed materials. The techniques described here give your pages a Web look. These concepts are applicable to all Web editors, not just iNetWord. 

Placing Graphics at Page Edge Making colors and graphics reach the edge of the page is called a 'bleed' in printing parlance. It's often used on web pages for borders, button bars, or splashy images. To achieve this in iNetWord: Click the  button and set the page margins to zero. Click the   button in that dialog box to set the background color of the whole page. Insert a 2x3 table with the  button. Use the  button to set the table width to 100%. Click the  button to set the cell margins to zero. Upload graphics with the  button or using FTP (see quick start). Place graphics in the left, top, and/or rightmost cells. The graphics will touch the edge of the page and each other.   You can copy/paste graphics from another page into your page using Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V, but be aware that the newly pasted graphic refers to the original graphic's location on the web. It does not create a brand new copy of the graphic. To create you own copies of graphics, download them to your computer and then upload them to iNetWord.		Importing Web Sites  You may already have a site on the net that you want to maintain with iNetWord.   Copy the entire site (HTML and graphics) to iNetWord with FTP. First copy the site to your hard drive, then upload to your 'docs' directory at iNetWord.   The 'Pictures' pane at iNetWord only shows the pictures in your 'docs/pics' folder and below. As you work on your site create your pictures folder hierarchy in the 'docs/pics' folder.   You can Ctrl+C copy/Ctrl+V paste text from browsers into iNetWord, but some types of formatting may not be preserved (IE copy/paste does not support CSS style sheets). The best way to cleanly import web pages is by uploading their HTML into iNetWord.

Layout with Tables

Web page layout is done with tables. Sometimes tables within tables are used to achieve different arrangements. Use the following techniques to arrange your text and graphics just right:

• Set a table's width and left/right/center alignment with the  button.
• Format a table's borders and shading with the  button. Often you'll click   None  to remove all borders and just use the table for layout. Click the  button to show a table's borders while your working. Click it again to hide the borders and see what your page will look like.
• Merge cells using the  button. This allows you to put a wide graphic or sentence above several columns of text or graphics.
• Set a cell's width and margins with the  button. Setting generous and uniform margins this way gives a page a consistent and comfortable look.
• Set the cursor in a cell and use the  Fill Color control to set the background color of the cell. This is often done for side-bars or to highlight certain areas of a page. To give a sidebar rounded corners, use a 3x3 table. Place tiny round-corner graphics in the four corners. Set the background color of all cells to the same. 

Navigation Bars

You can create a navigation bar at the top or edge of your page using the techniques above to:

• Give your bar a different background color from the page.
• Use table borders to further distinguish it.
• Insert hyperlinks with the  button and uncheck the 'Automatically underline link' checkbox there to preserve the formatting and color you give your link text.

For really sophisticated navigation bars with a textured, shaded, or 3-D look,  use the  button to upload graphics made with your favorite graphics program. A few popular graphics programs are: Adobe Photoshop and Corel Photo-Paint,

Editing HTML

Experts can tweak their pages by editing the HTML directly. Click the  button and click 'Edit HTML'. The editor will fill with the raw HTML of your page. Make the changes you want, and click the close button. The editor will return to displaying the rich text of your HTML.
