Setting page properties

You can set a variety of properties for a page, including its title, background color and so on. Double click or right click any blank area of the page (not on an object) to open the Page Properties dialog. There are five tabs on the Page Properties dialog: Meta Tags, Background, Appearance, Page Transition and Header.

Various page properties such as title, author, keywords, and description can be specified on the Meta Tags tab.
  • Title
    Specifies the document's title, as it appears in the title bar of a web browser.
  • Author
    Specifies the name of the document's author, or any other information regarding authorship.
  • Keywords
    Words separated by commas may be entered. It may be used by Internet search engines to identify the document as relevant to a particular category or search query.
  • Description
    A brief description of the document's contents or purpose can be entered here. This information may be used by Internet search engines to find relevant documents in a particular category or that match a search query.
  • No Generator
    The program automatically inserts a meta tag into the <HEAD> section of the HTML to identify the software you used to build and publish the page. <meta name="generator" content="Web Page Maker"> If you would like to exclude this meta tag from the page, try checking the box.


Click the Background tab and choose a background image for your page. You can also choose a background sound that will play when a visitor views your page.
To add a background image to your web page:
  1. Select an image from your computer's hard drive or, if you like, add an image from Web Page Maker Background folder.
  2. Click OK.
Fixed Background: This is option will fix the background so that it does not scroll when the foreground is scrolled. Fixed backgrounds work well with watermark.

To add a background sound to a web page:
  1. Select a sound file from your computer's hard drive.
  2. Check the Loop check box if you would like the file to play continuously while a visitor is viewing your web page.
  3. Click OK.


Click the Appearance tab, in the top area above you may adjust how the page will align in the browser window. Most all web pages are aligned Left and Top. Some pages look good when centered (choose Center), however, Netscape web browsers do not support page centering.


Character set Web browsers use the character set (also called "language encoding") specification in a document to determine how the document should be displayed. By default, web browsers may display text using the Western character set (ISO-8859-1).

If a document contains non-Western text, you should specify the appropriate language encoding for the document. Change the "character set" to "User Define" and type your language encoding.


On the Page Transition tab, a transition effect can be specified and will be displayed when site visitors enter or exit the document. (These effects only work with Internet Explorer.)
  • Event
    Selects when the effect should appear. You can set a different effect for each of the four events.
  • Effect
    Selects the transition type from the drop-down list.
  • Duration
    Specifies the length of the transition effect in seconds.


The Header tab is used to enter custom header information for the current page. Header information is placed within the Head section of the web page. Use this function to enter custom CSS, JavaScript, etc. The user is responsible for entering valid code.
