How to make a website with MS Word? Part 2

How to set webpage background? – From the main menu choose Format > Background. Choose color from the palette. By the option “More colors…” you could choose more than one color or to create your own color. The option “Full Effects…” gives you additional recourses to choose among some ready textures and images. The chosen texture will lay such to fill all of the visible space of any screen. With simple words the texture is something like a tile that will cover the back of your website. In case you prefer an image be careful to avoid quite big pictures to set webpage background because it will slows up the opening of your website.

Is it possible to make the background of the table different than the background of the web page? – Yes. It is possible even to choose a different background for each cell of the table. After you draw the table firstly save the document as web page. Put the mouse cursor at the cell which background you want to change (or in random cell for the entire table). Right click and pick Cell Properties or Table Properties depending what do you would like to format at the moment. From the drop down Background menu choose a color. Press OK. All the rest options to modify a table you could find in the menu View > Toolbars > Tables and Borders.  

How to insert hyperlink? – To reduce to simple terms I will divide the answer in three parts:

1. Inserting a link to a file from your own website – In the form “Link to file or URL:” insert the name of the file. Be careful: write out the exact name of the file and the extension – file.html or file.htm
2. How to insert hyperlink to other website – in the form Link to file or URL: put the full address of the target website. Under the term “full address” I mean absolutely all that you see in the field Address of your browser at the moment when you are in Internet and you are at the given website. For example: to make a link to the home page of neWEBie you have to put: http://www.newebie.com, but if you would like to create a link to this place you have to put:http://www.newebie.com/HowTo_Make_website_MS_Word_part_02.html
3. How to insert hyperlink to email – It is advisable when you publish your website to put a link to your email. In the form “Link to file or URL”: put mailto: and after that your email Fr example: mailto:admin@newebie.com

Click OK.

I do not recommend you to use the button “Browse”, if you are not absolutely sure in the result.
