Change page body properties

1. Right-click the page body in the page area and choose Properties > Page Area. The Page Properties dialog box appears.

2. On the General tab, you can specify top, bottom, right, and left text margins for the page body, in pixels.

The text margins determine where text and pictures you add to the page body will appear. You can type an amount from 0 to 100 for a text margin.

3. On the Background tab, you can set the following:

• A background color for the page body

• A background picture for the page body

4. On the Edge tab, you create an edge effect. An edge is a band of color you can display on one or more sides of the page body. The edges will not appear in previews or the published version of your pages. You can set the following:

• The width of each edge in pixels, and whether the edge has a "sculpted" effect. You can specify a size 0 to 255 pixels. To add black sculpting below or to the right of an edge, click the dark band below or to the right of the edge setting. To add white sculpting above or to the left of the edge, click the light band above or to the left of the edge setting.

• An edge color. You can specify only one color that will apply to all edges.

Notes

• If the page body is active, you can also choose Edit > Properties > Page Area to display the Page Body Properties dialog box.

• As you work in the Page Body Properties dialog box, you can click Apply to save your changes without closing the dialog box.

• If you create an edge, CuteSITE Builder adds the edge setting to the margin setting when determining where to place text and pictures. For example, if you set a left margin of 5 pixels and a left edge of 10 pixels, text will begin appearing 15 pixels from the left side of the page body.

• The Advanced tab is used for setting default text settings for the page body in page layouts you intend to include in Web designs.
