How to...

Start a page in PageMill.

You need:

Any planning sheets or notes, and you should know the location of any pictures you want to use.

1. Go into the Documents Folder on your computer, and into your own folder if you have one. Make a new folder (Apple-N) and give it an appropriate name, such as "Anna's Animal Page."
2. Start up Adobe PageMill. A blank document will appear. If it does not, go to the File menu and choose New --> Page. Do not choose New --> Site. If a site opens, close it first.
3. Decide on a background and text color. You can change these using the Inspector Window. (If the window isn't there, get it in the Window menu.) The diagram below shows you the things you can change with the Inspector.

A -- Changes the text color for your page.  B -- Changes the background color.  C -- Changes the color of links that have not been clicked on.  D -- Changes the color of links while you are clicking on them.  E -- Changes the color of links that have already been clicked.  F -- Allows you to choose a background image for your page. (Be sure not to choose an animated image!)

4. At the top of the new page there is a field that says "Untitled Document." Change this title to your name(s).
5. Click within the page and start typing.
