Claris Home Page Toolbars

 

Claris Home Page includes four toolbars. They are the basic toolbar, style toolbar, Forms tool palette, and the Image Map Editor toolbar. When you place the pointer over a button you will see its name appear at the right of the toolbar.

The basic toolbar provides access to many of the commonly used features in Claris Home Page.

The style toolbar has buttons you can use to format text.

The floating Forms tool palette is used to insert elements into your documents. To display the Forms tool palette, choose Show Forms Palette from the Window menu. Drag one of the icons onto your Web page to add the corresponding element.

Double-click on an image to open the Image Object Editor. From this menu you can choose how your image will be aligned on the page, if you image will have a border, the size of the image, and if an image map will be created from the image.

To use the Image Map Editor toolbars, click one of the Edit buttons on the Image Object Editor for either a Client-Side Image Map Editor, a Transparency and Interlace Image Editor, or a Server-Side Image Map Editor. The Image Map Editor toolbars provide buttons for you to add special features to an image map.

Using Object and Link Editors

When you add elements such as tables, links, or images to your page an editor will open from which you can make changes to the object. Most object editors open when you first create an object. When you assign a change to the element, the change will occur automatically without closing the object editor. If you want to make a change later just double click on the object to open the object editor again.

You can include hypertext links in your Web pages that will allow your viewers to move from one page to another within your site, or to other locations on the World Wide Web. To create a link either to an object or text, click the object once or highlight the text that you want linked, and from the Wndow menu choose Show Link Editor. From here you will type in the address where the link will take the viewer.
