Performing Simple Editing Tasks in Contribute

Working with text and images in Contribute is similar to working with them in a word processor. You can make formatting choices using the toolbars and menus in Contribute, and in return, Contribute will convert your decisions into prope231 formatting to be rendered on the Web.

In this section, you'll learn how to perform simple editing tasks in Contribute.

Before learning how to edit a page in Contribute, you must return to the home page of the Dante site.

You'll notice that the main menu now contains a different set of options, which allow you to edit and format text and other commo227 objects. Because the site was constructed using a Dreamweaver template, Contribute recognizes and respects the blue borders surrounding the page's body text and heading.

As in a word processor, when you want to change text in Contribute, you must first select the word or phrase you want to change, and then type the new text in its place.

You can also right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) and select Bold from the contextual menu.

Note

The right-click option for making text bold is not available if you're working in a table.

The text is not yet formatted particularly well, but you'll fix that in a moment.

When you made the connection to the Web site in Contribute, the CSS styles you defined in earlier chapters are made accessible to Contribute users, allowing them to modify the text using the same styles to maintain a consistent look. If the Style menu is not enabled, your Contribute administrator has restricted the site so that you can't apply these styles.
