Entering text

You can add text to your Web page by typing it directly onto the page, by copying and pasting it from another Web page or application, or by dragging it from another page in your Web site. On the Macintosh, you can drag text from another application as well. (See Cutting, copying, and pasting for more information about copying elements in a Web page.)

You can delete text by selecting it and pressing Delete, and cancel your last action by choosing Undo from the Edit menu or pressing Ctrl-Z (Windows) or-Z (Macintosh).

As you type, the lines of text in a paragraph run continuously and wrap evenly regardless of the size of your window. The text you type also wraps evenly in a Web browser window no matter what size it is.

Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh) to end a paragraph of text and insert a paragraph break. Claris Home Page adds an extra line after each paragraph. If you want to make a paragraph break without adding the extra line, choose Line Break from the Insert menu or press Shift-Enter (Windows) or Shift-Return (Macintosh).

Note Claris Home Page shows line break symbols by default in Edit Page mode. To hide the line break symbols, choose Application Options from the Tools menu (Windows) or Preferences from the Edit menu (Macintosh) and click the General tab. Click to deselect the Show Line Breaks check box, and click OK.

You can open text files that you created in other applications and apply HTML formatting styles to them in Claris Home Page.

Note You can also copy text from another application and paste it in an untitled Claris Home Page document.
