Inserting text or comments


You can use the Outline toolbar to insert text boxes for entering content or comments in your Web page. Text entered in an HTML Text box will be visible on your Web page. (For example, a Text box might be associated with a block quote.)

Text entered in an HTML Comment box doesn't appear in your Web page when viewed in a browser window. You can use comments to provide useful hints for editing documents at later dates--for example, if you intend to embed advanced features that require significant background information.

To add an HTML Text box or an HTML Comment box:

1 In Outline view, select an HTML element in the outline, and then do one of the following:
  • To add text to your page, click the New HTML Text button () in the Outline toolbar.
  • To add comments to your page, click the New HTML Comment button () in the Outline toolbar. You can place comments anywhere in your document, even outside of the HTML container tag.

    • A text box containing question marks is inserted below the current selection.

    2 Type your text in the box. The text wraps automatically at the border of the text box. If you temporarily stop entering text and deselect the text box, you can resume your work by inserting the pointer where you stopped.

    Note: Comments appear dimmed in Outline view to remind you that they won't appear in your Web page, but they remain selectable and editable.
