Using Text Boxes in iWeb

Video Transcript

"This is Bill Macpherson for Expert Village. Okay in this clip I am going to show you how to use text boxes and how to create a text box. Okay on this page we created here, we could see it already brought up a text box for us but you could just easily go on in and make changes you want. But at the same time, if you wanted to create a new box, we will just get rid of these. Go down here to this text box tool and just click on that and you will see in the middle of the stage a new text box is there and you could just type in whatever you want and then click away from it and then you could go back and select it. You can see it gives you points where you can, the size of the box and you can move it and drag it anywhere you want on your web page. Now also once that is selected, you can go up here in your inspector to the text. So select your text and you can make changes to it like the character spacing, paragraph. You could change the color of the text itself if you wanted to. Also down here you could see you have fonts and you can bring those up and it will have any fonts that you might have inside your system. You can choose Ariel, bold if you wanted to and you could change the size; change it to Georgia or anything you may have. Any type of font size too. You can make it real light if you like. Now also with this text box if you wanted to make this a link and select your text and go into your inspector and bring up the hyper link and just enable as a hyper link and you could set the URL or link it to one of your own pages. Set it as an e-mail message. That's how you use text boxes in iweb. I'm Bill Macpherson with for Expert Village. "
