HOW TO CREATE A NEW PAGE OR EDIT AN EXISTING PAGE.

• Use NAVIGATOR 4.0 or a later version to open an existing page that is similar to the page to be produced.
• Use the mouse to select "file" from the top (text) menu
• Select "edit page" from the pulldown menu.
• YOU ARE NOW IN NETSCAPE COMPOSER.  You may erase or write text, install links & images, use colours and do anything else that you can figure out how to do.  Here are a few style hints:
1. Use "format" on the upper text menu, then "page colours & properties" to edit the page description.
2. Don't use large images.  Large images take too long to download on small systems.
3. Don't use animated giffs (moving pictures).   Research has shown that these tend to irritate viewers.
4. Research has found that frames should be avoided.  If you must use frames, provide a "no frames" version.
5. Pages should fit wholly onto the screen
6. Text should be broken up into lists & tables using bold & italics.
7. Research has shown that readers focus on one item in a page.  If that item takes their interest, they will read on.
• When you have finished linking, select "file" from the top text menu, then "save as" from the pulldown menu.
• Save your page where you can find it to upload it.
• Close the NETSCAPE COMPOSER.
