you want to link, and then type mailto: followed by the e-mail address in the Link text area. Make sure you dont add any spaces between mailto: and the address. It should look like this: mailto:name@domain.com. Changing Page Properties You can change many individual elements on a page in the Properties inspector, but if you want to make changes that affect the entire page, such as altering link or text colors, you need the Page Properties dialog box. Notice in Chapter 2: Setting Up a Web Site with Dreamweaver 57 Figure 2-8 that the Page Properties dialog box also has a Category list and that each of these sections reveals different page options. Some of these options are covered in other parts of the book, such as the Tracing Image feature (Chapter 4), and the Background Image feature (Chapter 5). For now, to keep things simple, this section focuses only on changing the background and text colors available from the Appearance category, shown in Figure 2-8, and the options in the Links category shown in Figure 2-9.

To change the background and text colors on a page, follow these steps: 1. Choose Modify?Page Properties. The Appearance category of the Page Properties dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 2-8. 2. Specify the fonts you want for the text on your page from the Page Font drop-down list. If you dont specify a font, your text appears in the font specified in your users browser, which is usually Times. Figure 2-8: The Appearance category in the Page Properties dialog box enables you to change text colors, font face, font size, background, and margins. 58 Part I: Fulfilling Your Dreams 3.

If you select one of these options, all your text appears bold or italic unless you specify other formatting options using the individual text formatting options in Dreamweaver. 4. Specify the font size you want for the text on your page with the Size drop-down list. Again, you can override these settings by changing the text size using the individual formatting options in Dreamweaver. 5. Click the Text Color swatch box to reveal the color palette. Choose
