CRAFTCAVE FREE WEB PAGES TUTORIAL

File Editing

This tutorial will quickly show you how to work with the pages of your site.

Please complete the Adding A Page Tutorial and File Manager Tutorial first, as this tutorial builds on those.

Your page should look like this.

There are two built in editors available. Although they are quite different to use, both produce identical web pages in the end. We suggest you try them both and decide which you prefer.

This is a WYSIWYG editor that will work with any web browser. We find this editor a bit awkward to use and prefer to use the IE editor whenever possible. Some beginners like this editor because it shows all the editable areas. Note: Email forms may only be added with this editor at this time.

Internet Explorer WYSIWYG editor. As the name implies, you need to have a recent version of Internet Explorer to use this editor. The interface is similar to a word processor. This is the editor ewe prefer as it provides a less confusing view of the design area.

Important Note: The file manager must convert the file to use the IE editor. Once converted it cannot be changed back to use the native WYSIWYG editor, so try these on a file you have not modified before deciding which to use.

Using the WYSIWYG editor is covered in detail in its help files. The help files can be accessed within the editor from the top button bar. There are two help files available:

Quick Start - Sums up the basics (recommended reading).

User Guide - More detailed information if needed. Use the "Original Editor" pop up menu.

At this stage in the tutorial you have all the information needed to efficiently build your web site. Proceed to the Site Building Tutorial.
