Editing a starter web page
The Contribute starter web pages were created by a professional design firm. You can copy any of
the sample pages and use them in your website. You can use any of the pages as a starting point to
create your own page, or simply replace the existing content with your information.
After you create a new page based on a starter web page, you can modify the page. This page is
not a template, in which some parts can be modified but other parts are restricted. The page is
simply a starting point for your web page; you can change it as needed.
Note: The hypertext links on the page do not work automatically; you need to edit each link on the
page so that it refers to a page in your website.
The following are guidelines for working with text, images, and links on the starter pages. These
are tips to help you get started; there are many ways to modify the starter web pages to make them
your own.
To modify text in a draft based on a starter page:
•
To replace existing text, select any text on the draft and type over it.
When you replace existing text, Contribute retains the formatting established by the design of
the starter web page. You can apply formatting to any text to override the design.
•
To add text to draft, copy text from the draft or from another source (such as Microsoft Word),
place the insertion point on the page or select text you want to replace, and then select Edit >
Paste Text Only.
Note: If you want to delete the date object from your page, you must deselect Protect Scripts and
Forms in the administration settings. For more information, talk to your Contribute administrator or
see "Setting page-editing and paragraph settings" on page
For more information about working with text, see
To replace an image or graphic element in a draft based on a starter page:
•
Select the image, press Delete, and then drag a new image to the draft.
Most images and graphics on the starter web pages have dimensions on them. When you
replace an image, try to use an image that's close in size to the one you're replacing, so that you
retain the page design.
