As you work your way through the steps on this page you're going to be creating your web page. We start by creating a new HTML document, then proceed to add tables for structure. In the table you'll be inserting your graphic header.
Once you've finished this section you can move on to customize your web page with additional content.

Step One: Create New HTML Document |
Step 1.1:
Open First Page by going to the Windows START button and then selecting the PROGRAMS list.
Step 1.2:
What you want to do is look for "First Page 2006" in the list and LOOK FOR (but do NOT click it open yet!) this program in the list:
Step 1.3:
When you see that program you want to put your mouse over the arrow on the right hand side (See Section #1) to expand the listing of the program OPTIONS (See Section #2).
When you see "Evrsoft First Page 2006 - Easy", click that to select that mode. It will become the default mode.

Step 2.2:
Now you are going to CREATE A TABLE on your HTML page so go to the TOOLBAR at the top of the window and click the TABLE button:

Step 2.4: When you are done, click the TAB at the top that says EXTENDED which appears at the TOP of the current window you have open.
That opens this window:
Step 2.5: Now enter the following settings:
Under TABLE BACKGROUND PROPERTIES, check the checkbox marked "COLOR"
Step 2.6:
When the COLOR PICKER appears on the screen, you need to click the WHITE box next to it.
Tip: White is the color you want to use because this is where your text is going to be typed and you want black text on a white background.
Step 2.7: Now click the APPLY button then the OK button.
That closes the window and takes you back to the properties box
Step 2.8: Now you will now go to the BORDER COLORS section, check off TABLE BORDER COLOR and click the BLACK square to bring up the COLOR PICKER and choose BLACK from the color options.
Step 2.9: Then click APPLY and OK.

Note: If you encounter an error that says "this will significantly alter the code" error message just ignore it. Nothing will happen to the code.
Step 3.2:
When you have the 4 way arrow showing and the border is selected you need to go to the toolbar at the top and click the CENTER option, to center the table on the page.
