Entrance Effects and Sounds for Slide 2

moloko — 2009-04-23 13:21:13

The question we receive the most is: “How do you get the text to enter one letter at a time and have it sound like a typewriter is typing the text?”

We’ll now show you how to do this.

You should be on Slide 1 in the Normal View screen. We need to move to Slide 2. Look at left side of the Normal View screen. You will see that this area looks like the image to the left. Click-on Slide 2 in this area. A orange border will go around the small slide and you will see Slide 2 in the center portion of your screen.

You will see your bulleted list of ingredients in the large Slide 2 area. Move your cursor anywhere over the list and click on the list. Your bulleted list should look like the image.

Click the Animations Tab again, then click the down triangle to the right of Custom Ani…. When the drop down menu appears click Custom Animation.

You will see the Custom Animation Task Pane appear on the right (as you did in Slide 1).
Select Add Effect, then Entrance and then More Effects (as you did in Slide 1).

This may not seem like much, but the choice of the Entrance Effect is very important here. Notice, in the image to the right, that we chose Appear. We need the text to enter, letter-by-letter, very quickly. Appear will take care of this. Other choices may “look funny” when the animation is “running.” When you become more accomplished with PowerPoint – try all kinds of effects. Click the OK button when you have selected Appear.

Look down the Custom Animation Task Pane on the right side of the screen until you see an area that looks like the image on the left. Click the small down arrow on the right edge of the Content Placeholder and select Effect Options.

When you click Effect Options an Appear menu screen (similar to the one on the right) will become visible. We’ve gone ahead and entered the effects to make our text look and sound like an “old timey” typewriter typing.

We clicked the down triangles to the right of each feature and did the following:

Sound: We clicked the down arrow to the right of Sound ( 1. ) and chose Typewriter.

After animation (Dimming):

We noticed that before we clicked the down arrow, that the words “Don’t Dim” appeared in the area to the right of After animation. We then clicked on the down arrow and chose the light blue color that appeared ( 2. ). When you are making your PowerPoint presentation, you might like to have the bullet, about which you are speaking, be more noticeable than the bullets about which you’ve already spoken. By choosing the light blue color, as you move through the bulleted items, you will see the last bullet dim and the new bullet be more noticeable. In a moment, when we complete this Appear Effect menu, we’ll Play our slide and you’ll see what we mean.

Animate text:

We clicked-on the down arrow and chose By letter ( 3. ).

Seconds delay between letters

We used the small “up and down” arrows to indicate 0.1 seconds between letters ( 4. ). When you “play” this slide you may desire to slow down or speed up the typing sound. To do so simply repeat the above and vary the seconds.

When you complete your Appear menu screen it Click OK.

Now, click-on Play at the bottom right of your screen. You will see the text enter like it’s being typed, hear the typewriter sound, and see the bullets dim as you proceed on to the next bullet.

Sound

Be Careful with Sound

Be careful when using sound for transitions and text animation. Sometimes, too many effects can overwhelm and detract from a presentation. As you become more experienced with sounds, and PowerPoint slides, you will find many web pages devoted to sounds and clip art. In the Front Page tutorials, there is a section on WAV sounds. If you desire a copy of any of these tutorials, simply e-mail the addresses at the end of this tutorial. You may want to experiment with some other sounds you “download and save” form the internet.

Don’t forget to keep saving your presentation as you enhance it with these effects.

Text Effects - Build:

moloko — 2009-04-23 12:40:39

Building is a term indicating how each line of the text (on a slide) will enter the screen. The lines, words, letters, pictures and charts can move in or appear from almost any direction. To Build the text on each slide, follow these directions.

Go back to Normal View. You can do this in Slide Sorter View by double clicking quickly on the first slide or by Clicking on the Normal View button on the lower right corner of the screen.

Transitions:

moloko — 2009-04-23 12:30:12

Now we’ll add some pizzazz to our presentation. When you viewed your slide show, a few moments ago, it was like “flopping down” plastic transparencies on an overhead projector.” Nothing really fantastic. Now we’ll add some motion, animation, sound, and color and really make our presentation something to view.

Viewing your Slide Show

moloko — 2009-04-23 12:27:07

You have just completed the first stage of your presentation. Go back to Slide 1. You can do this by using the “elevator bar” on the left edge of your screen. If you click at the top of the elevator bar you will keep moving up until you come to your first slide. Click-on Slide 1. It will indicate Slide 1 of 9 in the status area in the lower left corner of your screen. You should recognize this slide as your first slide on How to make a Great PBJ.

Slide 9 - Motion Paths

moloko — 2009-04-23 12:02:24

PowerPoint 2007 has some really neat features that you might like to try. You can “trace a path” for an image to follow around or across the slide. You can have a porpoise jumping in and out of the water at the bottom of the slide, or maybe a bat or bat flying around in the top portion.

Click the down arrow in the lower right corner of the New Slide button once again.

Microsoft works to deliver better ads

Batmunkh — 2009-03-22 03:56:07

Microsoft Wednesday showed off four experimental technologies that it is developing at adCenter Labs, its advertising research group.

The developments are designed to help deliver "the right ad to the right person at the right time," said Alex Gounares, corporate vice president of advertising research and developmentcid:image001.gif@01C9A955.0D2606C0. When that happens advertising is fun for end-users, he said.

Microsoft To Offer Open Source Security App For Developers

Batmunkh — 2009-03-21 06:57:41

In 2001, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer famously referred to open source software, specifically the GPL, as intellectual property cancer.

These days, Microsoft has moderated its stance. "Open source is neither an industry fad, nor a magic bullet," the company explains on the open source section of its Web site. "Rather, the development methods commonly encompassed by the term open source have provided customers and developers with additional options among many in the technology ecosystem."

'Dynamic' businesses will survive recession, Microsoft says

Batmunkh — 2009-03-21 03:58:46

Microsoft Corp. opened its Convergence conference today in New Orleans with a message and a string of new offerings meant to ease the suffering of its recession-battered ERP and customer relationship management customers.

Slide 2

moloko — 2009-03-03 18:54:39

Your new Slide 2 should look like the image below – even if you did not click the arrow.

For those who are familiar with previous versions of PowerPoint, you will notice that several different Slide Layouts have been combined into this smaller number of choices. All of the Layouts are available, but in new “combinations.”

Slide 1

moloko — 2009-03-03 18:44:26

Beginning the presentation

In PowerPoint 2007 a Slide Layout named Title Slide always appears first. PowerPoint “thinks” that you want to start your presentation with a title. So, logically, the Title Slide appears in the main section of the screen.

After you understand PowerPoint a bit more, you can choose any of the layouts you desire. We’ll show you how to do this as we proceed through the tutorial.

Starting PowerPoint 2007

moloko — 2009-03-03 18:35:08

Double click quickly on the PowerPoint 2007 icon on the Windows desktop (see image on left), or click the Start button in the lower left corner of the screen, and then click All Programs, next move your cursor over Microsoft Office, then click Microsoft PowerPoint 2007.

A new feature – saving to a CD

moloko — 2009-03-02 22:32:05

A really nice, new, neat feature in PowerPoint 2003 is the ability to save your PowerPoint 2003 presentation to a CD and take it anywhere. And when you take it to anywhere, you won’t need PowerPoint 2003 to show the presentation! When the CD is created it includes a PowerPoint viewer that will show your CD, regardless of the computer you are using!

Backgrounds

moloko — 2009-03-02 22:30:12

You should still be in Slide Sorter View. If you are not, click-on the Slide Sorter button at the bottom left of the screen.

First, go to Slide Sorter View by clicking-on the Slide Sorter button in the lower left corner of your screen.

Sound

moloko — 2009-03-02 21:54:17

We clicked-on the down arrow and chose Typewriter.

After animation (Dimming):

We noticed that before we clicked-on the down arrow, that the words “Don’t Dim” appeared in the area to the right of After animation. We then clicked on the down arrow and chose the light blue color that appeared. When you are making your PowerPoint presentation, you might like to have the bullet, about which you are speaking, be more noticeable than the bullets about which you’ve already spoken. By choosing the light blue color, as you move through the bulleted items, you will see the last bullet dim and the new bullet be more noticeable.

The question we receive the most is: “How do you get the text to enter one letter at a time and have it sound like a typewriter is typing the text?”

We’ll now show you how to do this.

Slide 9

moloko — 2009-03-02 21:42:53

Motion Paths

PowerPoint 2003 has some really neat features that you might like to try. You can “trace a path” for an image to follow around or across the slide. You can have a porpoise jumping in and out of the water at the bottom of the slide, or maybe a bee flying around in the top portion. If you want to do this we’ll show you how.

Click the New Slide Button.

Slide 8

moloko — 2009-03-02 21:09:01

For this slide choose the left slide in the third row – Blank slide.

Slide 7

moloko — 2009-03-02 20:51:08

For Slide 7 we’ll be using a Title Only Template.

So, click-on the slide template in the upper right corner of the Apply slide layout: Text Layouts screen (see arrow at left)

Slide 5

moloko — 2009-03-02 19:49:53

For this slide we’ll be creating a bar chart that shows what jam/jelly folks like the most in their peanut butter sandwiches. To create this type of slide we’ll start by clicking-on the same image we did for Slide 3. In the lower right corner of your screen you should still see the image to the right- Text and Content Layouts . Click-on the left image as you did before.

Slide 4

moloko — 2009-03-02 19:39:37

Slide 1

moloko — 2009-03-02 19:14:02

Beginning the presentation

You will notice, in the lower left corner of the screen, Slide 1 of 1 is indicated. You will also see that your screen looks like the one below.

Starting PowerPoint 2003

moloko — 2009-03-02 19:06:13

Double click quickly on the PowerPoint 2003 icon on the Windows desktop (see image on right), or click-on the Start button, in the lower left corner of the screen, then click-on Programs, and then on Microsoft PowerPoint.

In this tutorial, whenever we indicate that you need to click a mouse button, it will mean to click the left mouse button – unless we indicate that you should click the right mouse button. So, always move the cursor over the “place” we indicate and “click left” unless we tell you otherwise.

Run the show

moloko — 2009-03-02 17:41:54

Well, now you have a real presentation. Make sure you are on Slide ≠ 1. Go to Slide ≠ 1 either in Slide Sorter View, Normal View, or Slide View. If you would like to view how your show looks, either go to the Menu Bar at the top and click-on Slide Show, then click on View Show, or you can just click on the Slide Show button at the bottom of the screen. Then, to advance, either tap the left mouse button, Space Bar or Enter key. If you desire to end the show, either tap the Esc key, in the upper left portion of the keyboard, or click the right mouse button and then click-on End Show.

Picture

moloko — 2009-03-02 17:38:34

If you want your entire slide to have a picture as its Background, this is what the last tab is for. You need to click-on Select Picture. This will take you to the Windows “Open File” and then you can select a picture you have saved. The FrontPage 2000 tutorial goes into this in great detail. When you have the picture you like, click-on OK and then click-on Apply.

Texture and Pattern

moloko — 2009-03-02 17:35:47

Also, note the tabs at the top. Click-on Texture and Pattern and observe the effects. In Texture you use the “elevator bar” to the right of the textures to see all the selections. You then click-on the Texture of your choice. In Patterns, you simply click-on the Pattern of your choice.

Gradient

moloko — 2009-03-02 17:35:19

Click-on several of the Shading Styles (Horizontal, Vertical, etc.) and observe the effects in the lower right in the Variants and Sample areas. Notice that there are four choices in the Variants area. As you click-on each of the individual “squares” the choice will appear in the Sample area. If you click on OK at any time, the Background you see in the Sample will be the background on the slide. You will return to the Background Menu screen when you click-on OK. You will see a miniature version of what your slide will look like in the lower right corner of the Background menu screen.

Backgrounds

moloko — 2009-03-02 17:34:43

Now click-on Format in the Menu Bar again. Next, click-on Background.

The following Menu Screen will appear. Click-on the small triangle in the bottom portion of this screen. Now click-on Fill Effects.

Notice, in the Fill Effects Screen Menu below, that there are a number of choices (tabs at the top) – Gradient, Texture, Pattern and Picture.

Add color

moloko — 2009-03-02 17:27:12

Slide Color Schemes

There are a number of different methods you can use to add color. First we’ll use some basic methods and then try some “exotic” effects.
First go to Slide Sorter View and then click-on Slide 1. By being in Slide Sorter View you’ll be able to see the different color effects in several slides at the same time.

Sound

moloko — 2009-03-02 17:23:59

Be Careful with Sound

This simply reminds you not to forget sounds for Transitions and Builds can enhance your presentation. Be careful, sometimes too many effects can overwhelm and detract from a presentation. As you become more experienced with sounds and web pages you will find web pages devoted to sounds and clip art. In the Front Page 98 and 2000 tutorials there is a section on WAV sounds. If you desire a copy of either of these tutorials, simply e-mail the addresses at the end of this tutorial. You may want to experiment with some other sounds you “download and save” form the internet.

Don’t forget to keep saving your presentation often as you enhance it with these effects.

Build

moloko — 2009-03-02 17:22:25

Transitions:

Nothing really fantastic. Now we’ll add some motion, animation, sound, and color and really make our presentation something to view.

Viewing your Slide Show

moloko — 2009-03-02 17:09:02

You have just completed the first stage of your presentation. Go back to Slide 1. You can do this by using the “elevator bar” on the right edge of your screen. If you click at the top of the elevator bar you will keep moving up, from Slide 8 until you come to your first slide. It will indicate Slide 1 of 8 in the status area in the lower left corner of your screen. You should recognize this slide as your first slide on how to make a PBJ.

Text Box

moloko — 2009-03-02 17:07:00

The last “tool” we’ll work with is the Text Box. The Text Box is also in the Drawing toolbar. The Text Box button will allow you to insert text in your slides if the template you chose does not have the desired Title and Bullet boxes. To insert text, click on the Text Box button. It has an “A” in the upper left corner of the button with some text below (it looks like the button above on the right).

Free Rotate

moloko — 2009-03-02 16:04:04

When you choose the sixth button from the left – it will indicate Free Rotate. When you click-on it you will see small green circles at the four corners of your WordArt image. When you move your cursor off the toolbar you will notice that the cursor has changed to look like the toolbar button – a small circle with an arrow. When you place the circle-arrow “around” one of the corner green dots and hold down the left mouse button, and drag, you will notice that your whole WordArt will rotate as much as you want it to. Give this a try.

WordArt Shape

moloko — 2009-03-02 16:02:37

When you click-on the fifth button from the left, it has an “Abc” on it, the image at the left will drop down. If you would like to change the shape of your WordArt text to a new shape, click-on one of the shapes in the choices chart to the right. You will see your WordArt change to that shape. Give it a try.

Slide 8

moloko — 2009-03-02 16:00:51

For the final slide choose the third slide in the third row – Blank.

Enhancing the presentation:

moloko — 2009-03-02 15:50:34

Not too spectacular? Let’s spice it up!

Click-in the of the starburst. Then, type the word WOW! You will see WOW! appear in the starburst. It’s sort of like a “hidden” text box. Click the left mouse button in front of WOW!, hold down the left mouse button, and drag across WOW! to highlight the word. Click-on Format in the Menu Bar and then click-on Font. The following Font Menu screen will appear. Change the Font style, Size, and Color. Bold or Italicize if you want. Be as creative as you desire and then click-on OK.

AutoShapes

moloko — 2009-03-01 19:57:58

We’re now going to try something new – a technique for adding clever shapes and a few “secret” things to our slides.

First, point the cursor away from the Title box and click the left mouse button. This is called “clicking away.” This will “turn-off” the square “box” around the Title.

Slide 7

Microsoft Clip Art 2000

moloko — 2009-03-01 18:14:59

As you’ve just noticed, Microsoft Clip Art 2000 is a lot different than “old” Microsoft Clip Art. There are a lot more pictures and some other unique features.

Just for the heck of it let’s say we want a better image that has more to do with our peanut butter sandwich. So, logically, we’d rather like to have something other than a lion, or whatever you chose. If you’ve closed your Clip Art, open it again by double-clicking on the image in your PowerPoint slide. Notice at the top of the Clip Art screen an area similar to the one below.

Slide 3

moloko — 2009-03-01 18:10:02

Click on New Slide button once again.

Point cursor to the first slide in the third row (Text & Clip Art). Click-on it, to highlight the slide, and then click- on OK.

Designs

moloko — 2009-02-22 07:07:32

You can be in any View (Slide View and Slide Sorter View are preferable). Click-on Format in the Menu Bar, and then Click-on Apply Design.

Click on the choices on the left side of the window. On the right side a special template will appear with its own formatting. Pick one you like and then click on Apply. Be sure to scroll up and down and to click on additional choices. Note: with Designs, they are automatically applied to all of the slides. You may choose additional effects for the Designs by using the
Background and Slide Color Scheme selections.

Add color:

moloko — 2009-02-22 07:05:45

Now for some color!

There are a number of different methods you can use to add color. First we’ll use some basic methods and then try some “exotic” effects.

Build:

moloko — 2009-02-22 07:00:58

Building is a term indicating how each line of the text, on a slide, will enter the screen. The lines, words, letters, pictures and charts can fly in from almost any direction. To Build the text on each slide, follow these directions. Go back to Slide View. You can do this in Slide Sorter View by double clicking-on the first slide, or Clicking on the Slide View button on the lower left of the screen. When the Slide View screen appears, click-on the first line of text. The “box” you saw, when you first typed text in this box, will appear. This indicates that the box is “active.” It will appear as below.

Transitions:

moloko — 2009-02-22 06:53:46

Go to the Slide Sorter button at the bottom left (see top of page 7). Click on the button with four white squares.

You can now see all eight slides. Click on the first slide to highlight the slide (a heavy black border will surround the slide). Now point in the middle of the slide and click on your RIGHT mouse button. The right click will “bring up” a menu that is “tailored” to the “place” where you click. From the menu select Slide transition from the menu which appears (click-on it).

Text Art:

moloko — 2009-02-22 06:51:49

Now we’ll use some Text Art. In the Drawing Bar, which should be open, find a “blue A” that is slightly tilted. When you pass your cursor over this “button,” it will indicate: insert WordArt. If the Drawing Bar is not available, click-on View in the Menu Bar, then click-on Toolbars and select Drawing by clicking-on it. Click-on the Insert WordArt button. The following WordArt Gallery menu screen will appear. Select one of the WordArt patterns by clicking on it. Next, click-on OK.

The following Edit WordArt Text screen will appear. Where the screen indicates Your Text Here, type-in: Enjoy your Sandwich. Select a different font and size if you desire then click-on OK.

You will return to Slide 8 and see the WordArt you created. You may use the “grabbers” to make the text larger. You may also move your text as you desire. If you want to change the “look” of your WordArt, point to the center of the WordArt and click the RIGHT mouse button. A WordArt edit screen will appear (see below). You may click-on the different “buttons” to edit your text. When you have finished your editing, you can close the WordArt edit window by clicking-on the “X.”

Also in the Drawing Bar is a Text Box button which will allow you to insert text in your slides if the template you chose does not have the desired text boxes. To insert text, click on the Text Box. It has an “A” in the upper left corner of the button with some text below. After you click-on the Text Box button, move the cursor into an “open” area of Slide 8. It will look like a “little sword” as you move the cursor. When you get to an appropriate place, click the left mouse button and a “text entry area” will appear. Don’t worry about its size. Just type the following: THE END. The text box will automatically resize to the text entered. You may now highlight this text, and by clicking-on Format in the Menu Bar and Font, as you have done before, edit this text.

Enhancing the presentation:

moloko — 2009-02-22 06:47:52

Not too spectacular? Let’s spice it up!

If you are not on Slide 7, move to it by either using the elevator bar on the right if you are in Slide View, or by double clicking on it is Slide Sorter View.

When you are in Slide View, left click-in the middle of the starburst. Then, type the word WOW! You will see WOW! appear in the starburst. It’s sort of like a “hidden” text box. Click the left mouse button in front of WOW!, hold down the left mouse button, and drag across WOW! to highlight the word. Click-on Format in the Menu Bar and then click-on Font. The following Font Menu screen will appear. Change the font style, size, and color. Bold or Italicize if you want. Be as creative as you desire and then click-on OK.

Save your work

moloko — 2009-02-22 06:45:47

Now point the cursor away from the Title box and click the left mouse button. This is called “clicking away.” This will “turn-off” the box.

Point to View in the Menu Bar and click. When the menu list appears, move the cursor down to Toolbars. When the list appears, click-on Drawing. The Drawing toolbar will appear at the top, side or bottom of the screen. Now click-on AutoShapes and a small box of shapes will appear.

Saving your work

moloko — 2009-02-22 06:43:04

Now would be a good time to save your work for the first time. Point to and click-on File in the Menu bar. Click-on Save. In the upper left corner of the window that appears, you will see a Save in:. Click-on the small triangle on the right and it will show you the various disk drives available on which you can save. Point to the one you want, and click-on it. If you choose the 3½ Floppy (A:), make sure you have a formatted disk in the A drive. If you choose the C:, choose the folder in which you want to save by double clicking on the folder.

Double click on the PowerPoint 97 icon, or click-on Start in the lower left corner of the screen, then click-on Programs, and then on Microsoft PowerPoint.

Themes

moloko — 2009-02-22 04:28:35

If you'll remember, in the Microsoft Creating a Single Web Page tutorial, we browsed on the Internet and found nice, colorful, backgrounds to replace the white default background in the web page.

Now, in Microsoft FrontPage 2003, we have the neat option to have a "Theme" background throughout our web site. The theme uses the same color scheme for each web page its buttons and links (you can change them page by page later if you desire).

Titles for web pages in your web site

moloko — 2009-02-22 04:11:23

Now let’s go back to the Navigation View in FrontPage 2003 and “name” our web pages. We’ll be doing the following process frequently, so it’s good to make sure that you understand the process of moving from one program to another. At the bottom of your screen there is an area which shows/indicates what programs are active. This is called the Task Bar. Since we are using FrontPage 2003, as well as a browser [in our case we’re using Microsoft Internet Explorer]. Your Task Bar should look similar to the one below.

Viewing web pages in a browser

moloko — 2009-02-22 03:59:46

Now, in Design View, click-on the browser button in the button bar. Or, you can click-on File in the Menu bar and then click-on Preview in Browser. If you do click-on Preview in Browser, Explorer will ask you to choose a browser that is saved on your computer. We normally use Microsoft Explorer, as it has proven more reliable of late. However, if you are a Netscape or other browser user, then choose your favorite, if this is important to you. Your initial view of your Home Page (index.htm) should look like the image below

Shared Borders

moloko — 2009-02-22 03:54:38

You now have the beginning of a small web site. Before we attempt to look at it, we need to do a very important task. Remember the words below the Home Page - where we indicated that we would come back to naming the pages? We need to “tell” FrontPage “what” we want to “see” on our web pages - in our web site. To do this we first have to follow the instructions below the Home Page. They tell us to select Shared Borders in the Format menu.

Saving your web site

moloko — 2009-02-22 03:39:46

If you haven’t already, you’ll notice that there is no “Save” option under File in the Menu Bar. Nor is there a little “Save diskette” in the button bar. They are both “grayed out” – indicating that you can’t use them. One of the neat things in FrontPage 2003 is that it automatically saves your web site as you make each change. To prove this, click-on File in the Menu Bar and then click-on Exit. FrontPage 2003 will close. Now open FrontPage as you did at the beginning of this tutorial. When FrontPage appears, SURPRISE! Your web site appears – just like you left it!

Creating a web site (with multiple-linked pages)

moloko — 2009-02-22 03:30:16

To create a web site, click-on File in the Menu bar and then click-on New.

Note: If you are a FrontPage 98, 2000 or XP/2002 user, the new Office 2003 graphics displays are very different to from those that you are used to seeing. In every module of Office 2003 there is now a new “Task Pane” on the right of the screen. Once you get used to using the task pane – especially since it has similarities in all of the Office 2003 programs, we think you’ll really like it. So, for you “old FrontPage hands,” here we “go”- with the new graphic features.

After you click-on New, the New Task Bar on the right will appear on the right side of your screen.

Place your cursor over the small yellow folder with an “earth” on it or on the text One page Web site... You will notice that the words One page Web site… are now underlined in blue. You will also notice that your cursor will change to the “small pointy hand” hyperlink icon.

Click-on One page Web site and the image will appear.

The Web Site Templates menu screen will appear. It will not look exactly like this. You will need to do a couple of simple things to create a “place on your hard disk (C:)” for your web pages.

First ( 1. ) , make sure that the upper left icon “One Page Web” is highlighted. If it is not, click-on it.

Second ( 2. ), in the “white area” under Options – Specify the location of the new web: type-in the following: c:webtest. Your Web Site Templates menu screen should look like the one above. When it does, click-on OK.

When you click-on OK, several things will happen. It will appear that your screen will “pause” for a moment and then “blink.” You will notice several important things.

First, if you look at the upper left corner of your screen you will see that the web site c:webtest has been created.

Next, notice that your screen looks something like the image below.

A magnification of the left side of your screen appears to the right. Again notice that it indicates Contents of ‘C:webtest.’ Below this you’ll see that this process created a page called index.htm. This is the Home Page of your web site.

Now look at the bottom left of you screen. You will see that it looks like the image below.

Notice that Folders, on the left side of the screen is highlighted.

The Folder List indicates that your new web site is located on the C: drive in the Folder webtest. Notice also that two new folders have been created by FrontPage – private and images. Again, FrontPage 2003 has also created your initial home page called index.htm.

Starting Microsoft FrontPage 2003

moloko — 2009-02-22 03:23:34

In this tutorial we’ll create a small web site using Microsoft FrontPage 2003. If you have not completed the tutorial: Creating a Web Page Using Microsoft FrontPage 2003 for Windows 2000/Me/XP you should do so prior to attempting this tutorial. The Creating a Web Page Tutorial explains how to create and edit a single web page; this knowledge is pretty essential prior to your attempting the web site tutorial.

In the previous tutorial it explains how to hyperlink or link to other web pages. The really neat thing about this tutorial is that it creates these links “automatically” for you.

Enhanced Table Features

moloko — 2009-02-22 03:20:46

When you use tables in FrontPage 2003 you will have a number of new and helpful features at your disposal.

To get an idea of these features, place your cursor somewhere in the design area of you web page and click the left mouse button. You will see a flashing mark – this is where a table would begin.

Code Snippets and IntelliSense

moloko — 2009-02-22 03:18:58

There are some new and innovative “things” for those who use HTML code a lot – Code Snippets and IntelliSense. These two features allow you to “collect pieces” of HTML code, which you use a lot in creating your web pages. Once these “HTML snippets” are collected, you can insert them at any time. To use Code Snippets, click-on View in the Menu Bar and then click-on Page Options.

Grid Lines

moloko — 2009-02-22 03:15:52

Many times, when you are working in the design screen, it would be handy to have grid lines and a ruler to assist you in placing text and objects precisely in your web page. FrontPage 2003 now has this handy feature.

Split Screen

moloko — 2009-02-22 03:11:51

If you desire to see your normal web page design screen, as well as the HTML code, as you are creating your web page, you can now see both in FrontPage 2003.
Look at the bottom of your design screen again. Notice that there is a button that indicates Split. Click-on the Split button. Your screen will now split into two distinct halves – the HTML code in the top half and the regular design view in the lower half

One more thing – HTML

moloko — 2009-02-22 03:09:58

So far you have been working in a program very similar to a word processor with some limitations. Actually, FrontPage 2003 has been “converting” your work into the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). To “see” the computer program code you have created we’ll do two things.
First, go back to FrontPage 2003 again by clicking-on the FrontPage icon in the Task Bar at the bottom of the screen.

Links to other sites on the Internet

moloko — 2009-02-22 03:04:53

Now we’ll link, using the Internet, to a great small college in Virginia. Make sure that you can see your cursor below the sound link. If you cannot see your curser below the sound link, click-below the sound link and see if the flashing cursor appears. If it does not, tap the Enter key.

Now type-in something like: Visit an awesome place.

Inserting sound into the web page

moloko — 2009-02-22 02:57:56

The cursor should be flashing to the right of the earth. Tap Enter once to move the cursor below the earth.

Sound is a bit unique. We could put the sound in the “background” of the page and it would begin playing when the page is opened if we were using only Microsoft Internet Explorer. However, other browsers can’t “play” the sound when you do this. So we’ll insert the sound with a “link.” This is what web pages are all about: links.

Inserting an animation in a web page

moloko — 2009-02-22 02:50:18

Since we previously “saved the earth ( hee! hee!),” we’ll insert the earth in our web page! Sounds rather awesome!

Make sure that you can see your cursor flashing below the text. Inserting the animation is exactly the same as inserting your photograph.

Inserting a Background in your Web Page

moloko — 2009-02-22 02:45:41

In the status bar, at the bottom of the view screen, you will see the Microsoft FrontPage 2003 icon displayed in the task bar. We will now return to the Microsoft FrontPage 2003 to insert the background, animation and sound we just captured and saved. So click-on the Microsoft FrontPage 2003 button. You will now return to Microsoft FrontPage 2003.

When the Microsoft FrontPage 2003 screen returns, make sure that you are on your web screen with your image and title. Your cursor should be flashing just below the text you typed- in earlier. If you do not see the cursor, move down the screen and click below the text. If the cursor appears to the right of the text, tap Enter to move the cursor down below the text.

Now it’s time to insert our background in our web page. Click-on Format in the Menu bar and then click-on Background.

The following screen will appear. Click-on the Browse button which is under Formatting on the right side of the menu

Now you will see an image similar to the one below. Make sure you are on the drive or the folder where you saved all of your files. For the background, click-on the background you chose earlier (see arrow below). Then click-on Open.

You will return to the Page Properties screen where we began this process (under Format in the Menu bar).
Notice that the background you chose is now indicated in the Formatting - Background area.
Click-on OK.

Sound

moloko — 2009-02-22 02:40:49

You now have a background and animation to add to your web page. Now let’s “capture” a sound. If you don’t have a sound card and speakers or earphones, you will not be able to hear the sound and may get an error message when you do the below procedure. You may not want to attempt “capturing” the sound until you have these “things.”

Animation

moloko — 2009-02-22 02:32:47

Next we’ll “capture” a famous animation by Dan Austin. In the upper left corner, of Microsoft Explorer, is an arrow that indicates “Back.” Click-on the back arrow two times. This will take you back to the graphics page. Move down the page until you see the image at the top of the next page.

Text Wrapping

moloko — 2009-02-22 01:27:20

You may want text to “wrap” around your photograph. And, you may also want your photograph to be somewhere other than on the left side where it “defaulted” when you inserted it in your web page.

Saving your web page

moloko — 2009-02-22 01:06:56

It’s wise to save your web page periodically so that you don’t loose your hard work. There are several ways to do this. First, click-on File in the Menu Bar and then click-on Save.

Text

moloko — 2009-02-22 01:05:07

First we’ll enter some text. Type something like: Your first name (’s) Home Page (e.g. Janies’s Home Page). Then tap the Enter key once. Notice, that when you tapped the Enter key, that the cursor moved down two lines (double spaced). This is just the way FrontPage 2003 works (it has to do with the web page programming called HTML).

Creating a single web page

moloko — 2009-02-22 00:57:21

We’ll start this tutorial by placing a title on our web page. Your cursor should be flashing on the left-hand side of the white area. The upper left corner, above the white area, should indicate: new_page_1.htm (like the picture on the left).

Starting Microsoft FrontPage 2003

moloko — 2009-02-16 19:17:28

In this tutorial we’ll first create a single web page using Microsoft FrontPage 2003. Then, we’ll create a web site, which consists of multiple, linked web pages. For the single web page you can save your work on a formatted 3 ½ inch diskette. For the web site it would be prudent to save the data on your hard drive. Or, you can save them both on your hard drive.

Back to the FrontPage 2002 to place text, images and other “things” in your web pages

moloko — 2009-02-12 21:46:21

You have now learned all of the steps to create a web site, it’s time to go back to Microsoft Page view and add the “things” you desire on each web page. This is normally a three-step process. First, since you returned to FrontPage there is no need to click-on the FrontPage 2002 button in the task bar again. Second, double-click on the web page you want to edit in the Navigation view. Third, once you have typed the text, inserted some pictures and graphics, created some links, and whatever else for that page, save the page and then preview it in a browser. Then repeat the cycle as you work on your other pages. This is what you did when as you completed the Creating a Single Web Page tutorial.

Themes

moloko — 2009-02-12 21:41:50

If you'll remember, in the Microsoft Creating a Single Web Page tutorial, we browsed on the Internet and found nice, colorful, backgrounds to replace the white default background in the web page.

Now, in Microsoft FrontPage 2002, we have the neat option to have a "Theme" background throughout our web site. The theme uses the same color scheme for each web page its buttons and links (you can change them page by page later if you desire).

FrontPage will close. Now open FrontPage as you did at the beginning of this tutorial. When FrontPage appears, SURPRISE! Your web site appears – just like you left it! This is a new feature of FrontPage 2002.

Creating a web site (with multiple-linked pages)

moloko — 2009-02-12 21:07:41

and the area on the right of the button bar should be gray in color.

To create a web site, click-on File in the Menu bar and then click-on New and then on Page or Web (should look like the picture on the left).

Starting Microsoft FrontPage 2002

moloko — 2009-02-12 20:59:59

In this tutorial we’ll create a small web site using Microsoft FrontPage 2002. If you have not completed the tutorial: Creating a Web Page Using Microsoft FrontPage Editor 2002 for Windows 98/2000/ Me/XP you should do so prior to attempting this tutorial.

Since we previously saved the earth, we’ll insert the earth in our web page! Sounds rather awesome.
Make sure that you can see your cursor flashing below the text. Inserting the animation is exactly the same as inserting your photograph.
Click-on Insert in the Menu Bar and then click-on Picture and then on From File.

Inserting a Background in your Web Page

moloko — 2009-02-12 20:19:13

In the status bar at the bottom of the view screen you will see the Microsoft FrontPage 2002 icon displayed in the task bar. We will now return to the Microsoft FrontPage 2002 to insert the background, animation and sound we just captured and saved. So click-on the Microsoft FrontPage 2002 button. You will now return to Microsoft FrontPage 2002.

Animation

moloko — 2009-02-08 19:22:29

Next we’ll “capture” a famous animation by Dan Austin. In the upper left corner of Microsoft Explorer is an arrow that indicates “Back” when you move the cursor over it. Click-on the back arrow two times. This will take you back to the graphics page. Run down the page a bit more until you see the image at the top of the next page.
