Inserting White Space

If you want to sweep out a blank region for document formatting purposes, use the insert whitespace function in Cosmo Create. To create white space in your document:

  1. Choose Palettes > Object Creators

  2. Click the Create whitespace button in the Object Creators palette

  3. Click the left mouse button and sweep out an area of white space. (This brings up the Whitespace Inline Attributes dialog.)

    Alternatively, you can just click the left mouse button where you want white space inserted, and a default amount (200x200 pixels) of whitespace is inserted. You can then modify the amount of space as you desire.

Cosmo Create creates a GIF file for that white space. You can modify the attributes of your whitespace with the Inline Attributes dialog, available through the Element menu.

Note: White Space is created in your HTML document by using an empty GIF file; the Netscape SPACER tag is not used.
