The document provides instructions for creating a basic website using Microsoft Publisher. It describes how to choose a template, edit pages by inserting images, tables, hyperlinks, and additional pages. It also covers how to insert navigation links, delete pages, and save the completed website. The template selects layout and formatting, pages are edited by adding/replacing content, and the site is saved as a folder of files with the home page named "index".

1. Creating a web page

2. Introduction
• Publisher gives you a variety of web site
design templates to choose from. A template

the pages as you like.

the purpose of layout and alignment. A table
gives you a group of cells into which you can
type text and insert images. You can make the
borders of the table invisible, if you choose.

8. Inserting a Table

Table.

Table box.

the border of your table. You can now click in the
