Working With Text; Adding Text To A Web Page - MACROMEDIA CONTRIBUTE-USING CONTRIBUTE Use Manual

Macromedia Contribute enables you to add and format text, much like a basic word processor.
You'll find a few differences in working with text in Contribute and a word processing program,
such as Microsoft Word, because Contribute formats your text using HTML behind the scenes.

Adding text to a web page

You can add text to a web page by typing the text, by copying and pasting text, or by dragging text
from another application to your Contribute draft.
Note: You can also add the entire contents of a Microsoft Word or Excel document to a web page. For more
information, see "Adding Word and Excel documents to a website" on page 53.
Tip: Your website administrator can determine the amount of space that pressing Enter adds between paragraphs.
For more information, talk to your administrator or see "Setting page editing and paragraph permissions" on
page 173.
To add the current date to your page, see "Adding the current date to a page" on page 58; to add
special characters to a page, see "Adding special characters to a page" on page 59.
