Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Netscape Composer

1. Start Composer and choose Open from the File menu. Locate the page you want and double-click to open it.

2. Choose Format from the File menu and click on Page Colors and Properties.

3. Click on the Colors and Background tab.

4. Choose the Use Custom Colors option and click on the Normal Text button to change the color of regular fonts. The default font color is black.

5. Save the file and click on the Preview button to view it in the Netscape Navigator browser.

Tips & Warnings

• Choose a font color that will show up well against your background color or image. Avoid yellow, light blue or light gray fonts, as they are difficult to read and the text will not show up on browsers that default to a white background.
• Avoid flashy or garish colors as these can give your work an unprofessional look.
