Tips & Warnings

• The Formatting tab on the Page Properties form will allow you to set only a few basic settings for the page. If more settings are desired, HTML code must be used to insert them into the page.
• When setting a background picture in the Formatting tab, keep in mind the size of the picture file. Don't use a picture that is too large or the page won't load smoothly. Also, an oversized picture will "tile" when the page is loaded and make the text on the page unreadable or have an adverse effect on the display of the page.
