Managing Your Website
Working with Text
Most changes to your website will involve editing text. This is very easy to
do as it's similar to editing text in MS Word. To edit text on a page in your
website, follow these simple instructions.
| 1. Open File |
| In MS Frontpage 2003, open the file you'd like to edit. This example
uses the Contact Us page (contactus.asp) file in the website at
http://www.chabotcollege.edu/web as if we were going to edit a phone
number. Once you've opened the file, depending on whether you're looking
at the "code view", the "design view" or both, you'll see something
similar to the following.

| 2. Edit Text |
| To edit text, just place your cursor where you'd like to add text or
highlight text you'd like to delete or overwrite with new text. This is
exactly like how you edit text in MS Word. Your software (Frontpage,
Dreamweaver, etc) will probably even have a tool bar as shown in the
screen snapshot above which you can use to format and style your text,
e.g. change colors, make bold, increase font size, etc. |
| 3. Save Your Changes / Upload to The Web |
| Click File > Save to save your changes.
If you're editing your files directly on web, your changes are
instantly shown online.
If you're editing your files locally, you'll need to upload your
files to the web for the public to see the changes.
