Formatting the Page:

CARDINAL RULE: .HTML DOCS DO NOT SAVE TABS, HORIZONTAL CENTERING ETC... OF TEXT AS CREATED BY MICROSOFT WORD

• USE TABLES TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF YOUR FORMATTING.
  • Click Table ->Insert Table->Select Number of Rows and Columns->OK OR Click on the Table Icon on the toolbar
• PAGE COLOR - Format->Background->Select Desired Color
• FONT TYPE/COLOR - Format->Font->Choose Desired Font, Color, Style, Size, Effects etc...
• PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION- Make a choice as to whether you will present your information in bulleted form or if you will use paragraph form. Once you have decided, stick to that choice. Keeping it uniform makes your page more attractive. Remember that "white space" is a good thing for visual appeal.
