Editing a Document
If you have just created a new document as described in the previous section, you can select the “Edit Contents” link to begin adding content to the document. If you are editing a pre-existing document, you can access the Document Library. If you are logged in as an administrator or the document owner, An “Edit this Document” link will float over documents that you can edit on-line so that you can edit them easily.
A screenshot of the built in editor is shown below.
The editor in NeatClubs.COM is straightforward to use, although it differs from a regular text editor in that it creates HTML in behind the scenes. You can click on the “Source” tab at the bottom of the editor at any time to see the HTML code that the editor has generated. Advanced users who are familiar with HTML may want to do their editing directly in the “Source” tab so they can edit HTML natively.
If you prefer to use an HTML editor such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage you can use these tools to generate HTML and then “cut and paste” the resulting HTML source into the “Source” of your document. Advanced users should bear in mind that NeatClubs.COM expects the HTML inserted in the editor to be displayed between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags. More information about using the editor is included later in this section.
Many users of word processors have never bothered to take the time to understand styles. Styles are an important concept when maintaining web content. We recommend that you get in the habit of using the Styles pulldown to format your text rather than manually entering your own font, size and color definitions. The more hard-coded font-size or color related directives you have in your site, the harder the content will be to maintain.
