Lesson 2: Web Page Design in the FrontPage Editor


Creating Lists

Another way to group and organize information is by using lists. Web pages can have two types of lists -- numbered and bulleted. Numbered lists contain text preceded by numbered steps, just like the procedures in this tutorial. Bulleted lists contain text preceded by bullets or image bullets. You use a bulleted list if the list items need not be listed in any particular order.

In Lesson 1, you created bulleted lists on the "Interests" and "Favorites" pages. You will now create a numbered list.

To Create a Numbered List

  1. On the Tutorial Practice page, place the cursor after the text "The page I am practicing my tutorial lesson on" in the last table cell, then press CTRL+ENTER.

    The key combination CTRL+ENTER creates a new line below the table.

  2. Press the ENTER key to create some space below the table.

  3. Select "Heading 2" from the Change Style drop-down list on the FrontPage Editor's toolbar.

  4. Next, type Steps for using FrontPage on this line and press ENTER.

    You have created a Heading 2 text paragraph.

    FrontPage adds a new line with a "2." at the beginning.

  7. Next, type the remaining items for the list, and press the ENTER key after each one:

    Create or open a FrontPage-based Web site

    Launch the FrontPage Editor

    Create or edit pages in your FrontPage-based Web site

    Save your changes

    Publish the FrontPage-based Web site to your Web site

  8. Press the ENTER key twice after typing the last item.

Pressing ENTER twice ends the current list.

The list you created should now look like this:
