| Creating Thumbnails for the Web |
Designing the Web page
|
- Click the Text tab to choose the information to display with the thumbnails. You can also add text in the Image page. If desired, change the font by clicking Font.
|
|
- Select the Style/Color tab to set the colors for Text background, Thumbnail page, and Image page.
Choose Color only if you want plain colors for your background. To change the color, click the color box and the Color dialog box will appear. Choose from the Basic colors palette or create a custom color by dragging on the color spectrum then clicking Add to Custom Colors. Click OK to set the new color.
You can also use images as background by selecting Texture. Click the texture box then locate the image you want for the background. You can only use JPEG and GIF files.

NOTES :
- Click Reset if you want to change back to default settings.
- To store your settings for future use, click Save. Click Load to retrieve previously saved settings.
|
- Select the Output Options tab. Choose Save as Web pages (if you are going to upload the page to your Web site) or Save pages in a self-extracting EXE file (if you are sending the Web page through e-mail). A self-extracting EXE is an executable program file that contains your Web page in compressed form. When a user runs the program, it extracts the compressed files then displays the Web page in the browser.
|
- Set the destination in the Output folder (browse for page01, the folder that you created in step 1) then type the file name in the HTML index file name.
|
|
NOTE : Mail servers usually have a limit on how large attachments should be when sending e-mail, so it would be advisable to keep your files small. You can do this by using few images at a time.
