  2. Change the background color of a Web page • By default, the background color of all Web pages is white. • Most text and graphics display best on a white background, but there is little visual interest to that. • You can use any of the standard colors or the Web-safe colors available in the More Colors palette. • It is important to emphasize that you select one that coordinates well with the text color you have selected. • If, after making edits, you find that none of the colors work, you can always change back to the white background.

  3. Change the background color • To apply a background color, click the Format menu and then click Background to open the Page Properties dialog box. • In the dialog box, select the Formatting tab. • Click the Background list arrow in the Colors section to display the Standard Colors chart. • Click a color to apply it to the Web page. • Click OK to return to the page and see how it looks. • If the color you chose is too dark, the text will be hard to read and you will have to repeat the process until you find a color that works New Perspectives on Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 Tutorial 2

  6. Insert a picture on a Web page • Web pages need more than text and navigation bars to be interesting. • Logos, graphics, and photographs can all work together to make your site attractive and inviting to the user. • The three most widely used file formats for graphics are GIF, JPEG, and PNG: • GIF files are small and load fast • JPEG files are usually larger than GIF, but are best-suited for photographs • PNG was created as a license-free alternative to GIF • When you save a Web page in which you have inserted a picture, you must be sure to save the picture to the Web site's images folder.

  7. Insert a marquee on a Web page • A marquee is an eye-catching graphic that you can add to a Web page. • It's actually a text box that displays a scrolling message that you create. • You can use existing text for the marquee or add new text. • Marquees should be used sparingly because they can easily overpower a page and distract the Web page viewer.
