2. Add a background color to the page.
Click the Show Page Properties icon in the upper right corner of the document window. In the Page tab of the Page
Inspector, select Background Color and click the lower right corner of the color field. Choose a background color for
your page from the swatches that appear, or choose a swatch library from the list and then click the corner of the
color field again to choose a background color from those swatches.
You can apply a color or an image to the background of your page to visually enhance it. Although colors that you
choose for page backgrounds override the default colors used by most web browsers, viewers can change browser
preferences to override your page background colors. You can also select an image for the page background, but keep
in mind that web browsers treat the image as a tile and repeat it to cover the entire page.
3. Add and format text.
Click inside the CSS layout object to create an insertion point and type some placeholder text. On the toolbar, click
the Align Center
button, and then choose Heading 2 from the Set Paragraph Format menu.
In GoLive, you can format text in a variety of ways: use paragraph styles, such as Header 1 and Header 2, to format
paragraphs; use physical styles, such as Bold and Italic, to emphasize text; and use structural styles, such as Emphasis
and Strong, to both emphasize and classify text. (For more information about formatting text, see “Methods of
formatting text” on page 292.) You can also apply fonts, type sizes, and color to text using CSS (cascading stylesheets),
which contain a set of stylistic rules that describe how HTML documents should appear to viewers. If you need to
update a CSS style, you simply edit the style rule and all content that hosts the style will automatically reflect the new
properties. For more information about CSS, see “About cascading stylesheets” on page 318.
