Set Page Properties

You've already added a new HTML file to the template. The style of this page should be consistent with that of the whole template. So you should define the same background image, font style, links color, etc.

Steps:

  1. Double-click the new file to open it in Sothink HTML Editor

  2. Click the Design button on the bottom of the document window to edit the page in the Design (WYSIWYG) window. If a warning appears, check "Don't show this dialog again" to get rid of it. Don't be worried by the warning. The reformatting does not affect the content of your file.

  3. Click OK to proceed

  4. Right-click the mouse on the tool bar and select Properties Panel from the context menu. If the Properties Panel already appears on the right side of the document window, skip this step(you can drag the Properties Panel anywhere in the document window in your convenience).

  5. The <BODY> attributes will be displayed on the Properties Panel. You can set page properties that applies to the whole page. Do as follows:
    ALINK: click in the ALINK field, choose the white block from the drop-down list. It specifies white for all the links that have been clicked
    BGCOLOR: click in the field to select the black block from the drop-down list. It specifies black for the background color of the page. If images with transparent background are inserted into the page, the background color will show through.
    LINK: click in the LINK field, choose the white block from the drop-down list. It specifies white for all the links in normal state.
    VLINK: click in the VLINK field, choose the white block from the drop-down list. It specifies white for all the links that are being clicked.
