Web 'ed is a program that will easily allow you to build simple web pages with little or no experience.
What is HTML?HTML stands for "Hyper Text Markup Language". It is the universal coding that each and every web page contains and every browser understands. To see what it looks like, load this document in WEB 'ed.
To begin editing a new web page, click File -> New or Ctrl+N or click the "New" button above the main editing box.
To open an existing file, click File -> Open or Ctrl+O or click the "Open" button above the main editing box.
Note: You must Open or Create a file before entering text in the main editing box.
To save a file, click File -> Save As... or Ctrl+S or click the "Save As..." button above the main editing box.(Note: Typing a new file name will create a new file. To save with the same name, enter the original filename and path.)
Text EffectsIn the upper, left-hand corner of your screen, there should be a text box with 11 buttons next to it.
To create text effects on your page, type the text you want to see on your page, and press the button corresponding to the effect you want. The available styles are:
Paragraph
Pre
formattedBelow the Text Effect box, there is a section which contains 2 text boxes. This is the link section.
To create a link:
1. Type what should appear on your page in the box labled "Caption"
2. Type the URL the browser should open when the link is clicked in the box labled "URL or email"
3. Click the button labled "Link".
Note: If you are creating an email link, check the box labled "Email Link" and type in a complete email address instead of a URL
Examples:
Eric's Homepage(To create this link, I typed "Eric's Homepage" for caption and "http://members.aol.com/am54g/am54g.htm" for URL.)
Send Me Email(To create this link, I typed "Send Me Email" for caption and "am54g@aol.com" for email. I also checked "Email Link")
Underneath the links section is the image section. It contains 6 text boxes, several checkboxes and 3 radio buttons. This section is used to place an image on your web page.

2. Check the optional fields and fill in the appropriate information for other arguments.(See below)
3. Chose alignment.
