MYOWS: Which Software Does What?

 

Welcome to

Making Your Own Web Sites: Which Software Does What?

In this workshop you will compare three different software programs that can help you make Web pages--Netscape Communicator's Page Composer, Front Page's Editor, and Word 7's Page Wizard--so that you can choose which one to use to make your own web sites--or how to be eclectic about using the best features of all three.

Specifically, in this Professional Development Opportunity, you will learn to use each of these three software programs to do--

bullet

simple things, such as vary print size, font, color, and style

bullet

intermediate things, such as loading a photo, sizing it, and wrapping text around it, possibly selecting templates or themes (sets of matching print colors and graphics)

bullet

using a table to set up all or part of a page's layout--sizing, adjusting columns, rows, and borders; adding background color or image

bullet

as time permits, advanced considerations about loading streaming sound files and moving web pages with their graphics and other files to your website will be considered.

Along the way, relevant pointers about PowerPoint and Web Course in a Box can be considered.  These two programs don't make web pages as such, but they can enhance or manage a website.

Let's begin with Netscape Communicator's Page Composer.
