How to Add Text to
Your Navigation Buttons (FrontPage)
| Some navigation buttons come with text already added for you. However, some buttons are blank, allowing you the freedom to have them say whatever you want them to. You can even add text to various pictures and clip art so they can act as navigation buttons too. Here you will learn how to do just that. |
| 1. In Microsoft FrontPage, open a webpage and click on a place in the page where you want to insert a blank button. If you don't have one already picked out, I have a list that you can select from, just click here. Insert the image. |
| 2. Before continuing, make sure you have the pictures toolbar turned on. Go to View->Toolbars and see if a check box is next to Pictures; if it isn't checked, click on Pictures to turn it on. To move the toolbar out of the way so that you can continue, click on the Pictures heading and drag the toolbar to the bottom of your page so that it snaps into place. |
|
| 3. Left-click on the button to activate the pictures
toolbar. Find and click on the Text button in the toolbar. This will create a text box on top of your button. |
|
| 4. Type what you would like the button to read. As long as you have the text box selected, you can edit the text any way you like from font type to color to size. |
|
|
| 5. To activate your finished button, left-click to select the button and in the menu bar go to Insert -> Hyperlink. Choose the webpage you wish the button to go to and click the OK button. |
|
| 6. Your done! |
