How to Create Your Web Page
in Microsoft Front Page

Worksheet for the Web Page Creation Lesson

1. Before you begin making a web page on the computer, you need to:

decide what you are going to put on your page or pages - Use Inspiration to organize your work
make a drawing of what you want your page or pages to look like
decide on how many cells you will need in your page table
count how many rows and how many columns your table will need

2. Create a folder to save your web page

     1) Open Front Page
   2) Click on FILE and go down to SAVE AS – be sure you are in your file
     3) Click on the NEW FOLDER icon - the folder with the star on it. A new folder will appear
     4) Name the folder. Type in your first name, last initial, and the word WEB.

Example: John S web (no periods)

Be sure any pictures for your web page that you download from the Internet or take with the digital cameras are put in this folder BEFORE you put them on your page!

3. To set up Front Page to make your web pages:

1) Open Front Page
2) Create your table

Click on TABLE, go down to INSERT, go over to TABLE and click
In the box that appears, tell the computer how many columns and how many rows you will need in your table (columns are up and down, rows are across)

Resize the cells in your table (move the lines)

Merge cells where you want larger spaces, Split cells where you need to divide a cell into more parts (click on TABLE at the top of the page)

3) INSERT pictures and/or Word Art into the cells

Be sure to resize your work and format pictures as needed
Remember: each picture must go in a different cell

4) Type text into cells

Choose the font, size, and color – DO NOT use unusual fonts.
Remember: words go in different cells – not in the same cell as a picture.

5) Change background colors (if you want)

To change a cell, RIGHT CLICK on the cell, click on CELL PROPERTIES, and change the BACKGROUND color
