How do I write text in my portfolio page?

• First you must open up a web editor such as Netscape composer or Microsoft FrontPage.

• Once it is loaded, go to the file menu and select Open.

• Locate your portfolio folder.

• Select the page that you want to work on. (If you want to work on your resume page, select resume; if you want to work on your transcripts, choose trans, etc.)

• It is best to start out on the index page because it is your home page.

Whether you are working in Netscape Composer or Microsoft FrontPage, writing text is very easy.  Once  your page is  opened, all you have to do is start typing . This works very much like a Word Document. 

Use the tool bar for the following options:

• File to open, save, and print

• Edit to copy, paste and select items

• Insert pictures, files, and hyperlinks

• Format font, paragraph, background, and bullets

• Tools for Spell check

• Table to Insert a table, row, or column

*As you can see in Figure 2.1, the tool bars for Composer and FrontPage are very similar.
