Insert Menu

The Insert menu contains most of the commands to insert specific HTML tags into the current document. Tags are grouped in logical categories, such as Page Structure tags, Table tags, Headings, and so on. When a keyboard shortcut is available for inserting a specific tag, it is shown next to the tag name on the cascading menus. You can get detailed information on any HTML element in WebEdit PRO’s online Help.

Note
Almost any tag-insertion command can have a button on the user toolbar (space permitting). See "User Toolbar" for information on configuring the toolbar. In addition, the menu toolbar provides one-click access to nearly all of the HTML tags (see "Menu Toolbar").
