(2) Licensee may not create any derivative works from all or any portion of the Licensed Software or
Documentation;
(3) Licensee may not reverse-engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to discover the source code

agreement to protect the code from disclosure to any third parties;
(4) Licensee may not use a previous version of the Licensed Software after receiving a media replacement or
upgraded version as a replacement to a prior version (in such case you must destroy the prior version);
(5) Licensee may not use the Licensed Software in the operation of aircraft, ship, nuclear facilities, life-support
machines, communication systems, or any other equipment in which the failure of the software could lead to
personal injury, death, or environmental damage;
(6) Licensee may not remove or obscure Avanquest USA’s copyright or trademark notices, or the copyright and

(7) Licensee may not use the Licensed Software to host applications for third parties, as part of a facility
management, timesharing, service provider, or service bureau arrangement; and
(8) Licensee may not use the Licensed Software in any manner not authorized by this EULA.
CONTENT.
Licensee may use any clipart, photographs, icons, fonts, shapes, animations, sounds, music, video clips, and all
other graphic content (collectively, “Content”) included with the Licensed Software, if any, only as stated in the
Documentation. If the Documentation does not permit Licensee to use the Content, then Licensee may not display,
modify, reproduce, or distribute any of the Content; and even if the Documentation permits Licensee to use the
Content, Licensee may not distribute the Content on a stand-alone basis such as where the Content constitutes the
primary value of whatever Licensee is distributing.
Certain portions of the Content may consist of the copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade names, or other
intellectual property of third parties. Avanquest USA has provided these portions of the Content for Licensees’
convenience in using the Licensed Software, pursuant to authorization of their owners. Except for this limited use,
Licensee may not use any third-party intellectual property identified as belonging to others without the owners’
express authorization. Furthermore:
(1) Licensee may not sell, license, distribute (commercially or otherwise), or make available the Content as stand-
alone images or sounds, or in catalogs, design books, compilations, collections, templates, designs, stock
engravings, products, services, or the like;
(2) Licensee may not sell, license, distribute (commercially or otherwise), or make available electronic copies of
the Content to third parties in any manner, including without limitation, via the Internet, on any tangible media
or by broadcast, that is intended or designed to enable a third party to copy the Content for its own use;
4 • End User’s License Agreement Web Easy Professional 6

(3) Licensee may not sell, license, distribute (commercially or otherwise), or make available electronic copies of
the Content that includes representations of identifiable individuals, governments, logos, initials, emblems,
trademarks, or entities that expresses or implies any endorsement or association with any product, service,
entity, or activity; and
(4) Under no circumstances may the Content be used in the production of defamatory, fraudulent, infringing,
lewd, obscene, or pornographic material, or in any otherwise illegal manner.
Licensee is solely responsible for Licensee’s use of the Content. Licensee may only use the Content responsibly, in
a manner consistent with the exercise of good judgment. If Licensee is having difficulty deciding whether
Licensee’s intended use is appropriate, or whether Licensee needs written permission, or whether other legal issues
should be considered, Avanquest USA strongly encourages Licensee to seek competent legal counsel. Avanquest
USA will not assist Licensee in making this determination, nor can Avanquest USA provide Licensee with legal
advice as to intellectual property rights.
If Licensee or Licensee's attorney determines that Licensee is required by law to obtain written permission to use
portions of the Content, Licensee must request permission for reproduction, redistribution, or modification of the
Content from the appropriate owner of the subject materials (as may be cited in the Licensed Software). If, on the
other hand, Licensee or Licensee's attorney determines it is permissible to proceed and include Content from the
Licensed Software, Avanquest USA asks Licensee to correctly designate Avanquest USA’s trademark(s) when
referring to the Licensed software in the notice or copyright portion of Licensee’s paper, project, or product.
Licensee shall indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Avanquest USA and Avanquest USA’s suppliers from all
claims, damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and lawsuits that arise from, or result from, Licensee’s use or distribution of
Content.
SOFTWARE UPDATES.
If the Licensed Software is an Update to a previous version, Licensee must possess a valid License to the previous
version. Any Update provided to Licensee is made on a License-exchange basis such that Licensee agrees, as a
condition for receiving an Update, that Licensee will terminate all of Licensee’s rights to use any previous version
of the Licensed Software. However, Licensee may continue to use the previous version only to assist in
transitioning to the Updated version. Once an Update has been released, Avanquest USA may cease support for
prior versions, without any notice to Licensee.
CONTENT UPDATES.
Avanquest USA provides updates to the content of some of its software from time to time, including but not limited
to, virus definitions, URL lists, rules, and updated vulnerability data. These types of updates are collectively
referred to as “Content Updates.” Licensee may obtain any such Content Updates during the initial period provided
for by the applicable software without additional charge. Licensee may purchase a separate subscription for a
specified period of time to continue to receive Content Updates after the initial period expires. Avanquest USA
reserves the right to designate specified Content Updates as requiring purchase of a separate subscription at any
time, and without prior notice to Licensee, except that any such change will only become effective at the earlier of
the expiration of the initial period provided for by the applicable software, or the expiration of the term of a
separately paid for subscription.
SUPPORT.
Avanquest USA is not obligated by this EULA to provide Licensee with any technical support services relating to
the Licensed Software; however, Licensee may order additional support services for an additional charge as
Avanquest USA may offer from time to time during the term of this EULA.

LIMITED WARRANTY ON MEDIA.
Avanquest USA warrants that the media on which the Licensed Software is distributed will be free from defects for
a period of 30 days from the date the Licensed Software is delivered to Licensee. If Licensee discovers a defect in
the media during this 30-day period, Licensee must then return the defective media to Avanquest USA within 10
calendar days of discovering the defect, and Licensee’s sole remedy is to have either the defective media replaced,
or at Avanquest USA’s sole option, a refund of the money that Licensee paid for the Licensed Software.
NO WARRANTY ON LICENSED SOFTWARE.
The Licensed Software is provided to Licensee “AS IS.” Avanquest USA, and Avanquest USA’s suppliers, make no
warranty as to its use or performance. AVANQUEST USA, AND AVANQUEST USA’S SUPPLIERS, MAKE NO
WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, OR TERMS (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WHETHER BY
STATUTE, COMMON LAW, CUSTOM, USAGE, OR OTHERWISE) AS TO ANY MATTER INCLUDING
WITHOUT LIMITATION NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS, MERCHANTABILITY,
INTEGRATION, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EXCEPT
FOR, AND TO THE EXTENT, THAT A WARRANTY MAY NOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED BY
APPLICABLE LAW IN LICENSEE’S JURISDICTION.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
IN NO EVENT WILL AVANQUEST USA, OR AVANQUEST USA’S SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE
FOR ANY DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR COSTS WHATSOEVER, OR FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, OR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST SAVINGS, EVEN IF A
REPRESENTATIVE OF AVANQUEST USA OR ONE OF AVANQUEST USA’S SUPPLIERS HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, DAMAGES, CLAIMS, OR COSTS, OR FOR ANY
CLAIM BY ANY THIRD PARTY. THESE LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS APPLY TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW IN LICENSEE’S JURISDICTION. THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF
AVANQUEST USA, AND AVANQUEST USA’S SUPPLIERS, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
EULA, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID FOR THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, IF ANY.
ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR BETA SOFTWARE.
If the Licensed Software that Licensee receives with this EULA is pre-commercial release or “BETA” software
(“Pre-release Software”), then, to the extent that any provision in this section is in conflict with any other term or
condition in this EULA, this section supersedes such conflicting term(s) and condition(s) as to the Pre-release
Software, but only to the extent necessary to resolve the conflict.
Licensee acknowledges that the Pre-release Software does not represent the final product from Avanquest USA,
and may contain bugs, errors, and other problems that could cause system or other failures and data loss.
Consequently, Avanquest USA disclaims any warranty or liability obligations to Licensee of any kind whatsoever.
IN APPLICABLE JURISDICTIONS WHERE LIABILITY CANNOT BE SO EXCLUDED FOR PRE-RELEASE
SOFTWARE, BUT MAY BE LIMITED, AVANQUEST USA'S LIABILITY, AND THAT OF ITS SUPPLIERS,
SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL OF FIFTY DOLLARS (U.S. $50.00).
Licensee acknowledges that Avanquest USA has not promised or guaranteed to Licensee that the Pre-release
Software will be announced or made available to anyone in the future, and that Avanquest USA has no express or
implied obligation to Licensee to announce or introduce the Pre-release Software. Avanquest USA may decide not
to introduce a product similar to, or compatible with, the Pre-release Software. Accordingly, Licensee
acknowledges that any research or development that Licensee performs regarding the Pre-release Software, or any
product associated with the Pre-release Software, is done entirely at Licensee’s own risk.
During the term of this EULA, if requested by Avanquest USA, Licensee will provide feedback to Avanquest USA
regarding testing and use of the Pre-release Software, including error or bug reports.

If Licensee has been provided the Pre-release Software pursuant to a separate written agreement, then Licensee’s
use of the Pre-release Software is also governed by that agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this EULA to the
contrary, if Licensee is located outside the United States, Licensee will return or destroy all unreleased versions of
the Pre-release Software within 30 days of the completion of Licensee’s testing of the Pre-release Software if that
date is earlier than the date scheduled for Avanquest USA’s first commercial shipment of the publicly released
(commercial) Software.
SURVIVAL OF DISCLAIMERS.
The exclusions of warranties and liability limitations shall survive the termination of this EULA, howsoever
caused; but this survival shall not imply or create any continued right to use the Licensed Software after termination
of this EULA.
EXPORT RULES.
Licensee shall not ship, transfer, or export Licensed Software into any country or use Licensed Software in any
manner prohibited by the United States Export Administration Act or any other export laws, restrictions, or
regulations (collectively the “Export Laws.”) If the Licensed Software is identified as export controlled items under
the Export Laws, Licensee represents and warrants that Licensee, and Licensee's employees who will use the
Licensed Software are not a citizen, or otherwise located within, an nation embargoed by the United States
(including without limitation: Iran, Syria, Sudan, Cuba, and North Korea), and that Licensee, and Licensee's
employees who will use the Licensed Software, are not otherwise prohibited under the Export Laws from receiving
the Software. All rights to use the Licensed Software are granted on condition that Licensee complies with the
Export Laws, and all such rights are forfeited if Licensee fails to comply with the Export Laws.
GOVERNING LAW.
This EULA is subject to, and will be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws in force of:
(1) the State of California, if the Licensed Software is obtained when the Licensee is in the United States, Canada,
Mexico, or Chile; or
(2) the applicable law of any other jurisdiction if the Licensed Software is obtained in any location not described
in (1), but only to the extent the law of the other jurisdiction conflicts with California Law.
Unless prohibited by law of an applicable jurisdiction, the courts of the State of California shall have exclusive
jurisdiction over all disputes relating to this EULA. This EULA will not be governed by the conflict of law rules of
any jurisdiction, or the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application
of which is expressly excluded.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNERSHIP.
The Licensed Software and any authorized copies that Licensee makes are the intellectual property of, and are
owned by, Avanquest USA, and by third parties whose intellectual property has been licensed by Avanquest USA.
The structure, organization, and code of the Licensed Software are the valuable trade secrets and confidential
information of Avanquest USA and such third parties. The Licensed Software is protected by law, including
without limitation, the copyright laws of the United States and other countries, and by international treaty
provisions. Except as expressly provided in this EULA, Licensee is not granted any intellectual property rights in
the Licensed Software.
RESERVATION OF RIGHTS.
Avanquest USA reserves all rights not expressly granted to Licensee by this EULA. The rights granted to Licensee
are limited to Avanquest USA’s intellectual property rights, and to the intellectual property rights of third parties
licensed by Avanquest USA, and do not include any intellectual property rights.

COMPLETE AGREEMENT.
This EULA constitutes the entire agreement between the Licensee and Avanquest USA relating to the Licensed
Software, and it supersedes all prior or contemporaneous representations, discussions, undertakings,
communications, agreements, arrangements, advertisements, and understandings regulating the Licensed Software.
MODIFICATION.
This EULA may only be modified or amended by a writing signed by an authorized officer of Avanquest USA.
SEVERABILITY.
If any provision of this EULA is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, that
provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions of this EULA will
remain in full force and effect.
WAIVER.
No failure or delay by Avanquest USA in exercising its rights or remedies shall operate as a waiver unless made by
specific written notice. No single or partial exercise of any right or remedy of Avanquest USA shall operate as a
waiver or preclude any other, or further, exercise of that, or any other right, or remedy.
U.S. GOVERNMENT USERS.
The Licensed Software and Documentation are “Commercial Items,” as that term is defined at 48 CFR §2.101,
consisting of “Commercial Computer Software” and “Commercial Computer Software Documentation,” as such
terms are used in 48 CFR §12.212 or 48 CFR §227.7202, as applicable. Consistent with 48 CFR §12.212 or 48 CFR
§§227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, as applicable, the Commercial Computer Software and Commercial Computer
Software Documentation are being licensed to U.S. Government end users:

as amended, and the regulations at 41 CFR Parts 60-1 through 60-60, 60-250, and 60-741. The affirmative action
clause and regulations contained in the preceding sentence shall be incorporated by reference in this EULA.

Within 30 calendar days after request from Avanquest USA, or Avanquest USA’s authorized representative,
Licensee will provide full documentation, and certify under penalty of perjury, that Licensee’s use of any and all
Licensed Software is in conformity with this EULA.

If Licensee breaches this EULA, and fails to cure any breach within 30 calendar days after request from Avanquest
USA, or Avanquest USA’s authorized representative, Avanquest USA may terminate this EULA, whereupon all

knowledge of HTML programming. You have full What-You-See-Is-What-
You-Get (WYSIWYG) control over the content and layout of each page of
your web site.

options, see “Getting Help” on page 19 and “Using the Interactive
Tutorial” on page 23.

Web Site Creation
• Drag and drop photos, objects, and other items exactly where you
want them.

• Add text and enhance it with shadows, colors, texture, or gradient
fills.
• Use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to control the style and layout of
multiple Web pages.
• Apply special photo effects to your images.
• Draw shapes, adjust their line thickness, fill, and color.
• Create links to other pages, to other web sites, or to email.

software is designed to operate in Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003. You
should know how to use a mouse, the keyboard, the standard Windows
menus and commands, and how to open, save, and close files. For more

Quick Installation
Basic Installation Requirements
• Pentium® 500 MHz processor or better
• CD-ROM Drive (not needed for electronic download)
• Microsoft® Windows® 98SE/ME/2000/XP
• 150 MB of unused hard disk space for standard installation
• 256 MB of RAM minimum
• 16-bit color depth graphics card (24-bit or better recommended)
• Internet access required for posting completed web site and accessing
online library
• Internet Explorer 5 or later
Installing Web Easy Pro

Make sure that no other programs are running.
Insert the Web Easy Pro CD into your CD drive (or start the downloaded
executable file if purchased via download). Follow the on-screen
instructions to complete the installation.
If the Installer doesn’t start automatically from the CD, follow the steps
below:
1. Click the Windows Start button and choose Run.
2. Click Browse to locate and select the Install.exe file on the program
CD.
3. Click Open.
4. Click OK.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
During the installation, you’re given the option to copy all the files to your
hard disk. However, doing so will use about 350 MB of additional disk
space and might take 15-25 minutes to install. To save disk space, you can
use Web Easy Pro to access all the clipart and image files directly from the
CD without installing them.
Starting Web Easy Pro

To start Web Easy Pro, double click the Web Easy Professional 6 icon in
your Windows desktop, or click the Windows Start button and choose
Programs > Web Easy Professional 6 > Web Easy Professional 6. You
can also access the user’s guide, help, and other utilities from this menu.

Getting Updates
Periodically VCOM makes minor updates available. To check if a new
update is available for Web Easy Pro, establish an Internet connection, and
then open the Help menu and choose Check for Updates to access the
latest patches, information, or resources from the VCOM web site.
About Web Sites

Web Easy Pro is an easy-to-use web design program. Even beginners can
create web sites—both regular HTML and dynamic HTML web sites. As
you become familiar with Web Easy Pro, we encourage you to take
advantage of Web Easy Pro’s many advanced features.
Web Sites
Web sites are formatted using HyperText Markup Language (HTML)
commands. A typical web site consists of a number of web pages, each of
which contains text and images. Some also include sound and video. Web
pages typically contain links to other pages within the site, as well as links
to other web sites. You don’t need to know or understand HTML when
using Web Easy Pro—it does all the hard work for you.
Dynamic Web Sites

Dynamic web sites are formatted using Dynamic HyperText Markup
Language (DHTML) commands. Dynamic web sites display special effects
such as animations, moving messages, page transitions, rollover images,
and more. Using Web Easy Pro, you can create dynamic presentations and
slideshows. All current browsers today support DHTML, so you can be
sure that your web site will look great on anyone’s computer.
Advanced Features
Advanced users can create exciting components for their web sites such as
scenes, e-commerce, and animated GIFs. The online help has more
information and instructions for using advanced features.

Web Site Templates
Get started using one of the many professionally designed templates
provided with Web Easy Pro. Replace the existing text and pictures with
your own.
The templates also have many handy hints suggesting items to include in
your web site.

What’s New in Version 6
If you’ve already been using a previous version of Web Easy Pro, this
latest version of Web Easy Pro is more powerful than ever. New features
give you more control in creating the most professional looking sites,
while still maintaining the simplicity of creating a site by dragging and
dropping objects onto your page. With a new look-and-feel, Web Easy Pro
is still the most impressive and easiest web site builder available today.
Here is a partial list of what’s new:
• Styles: Design your web site with styles and gain greater control and
flexibility over maintaining your web site. For more information, see
“Item Styles” in the online help.
• Inspector Window: The new Inspector window gives you full access
to all aspects of your web site. For more information, see “The
Inspector” on page 21.
• Cascading Style Sheets (CSS): Full support for Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS) allows you to separate the layout of your site and the
content of your site. Both HTML and XHTML standards are supported
using CSS. In addition, different measurement units are also
supported when creating web sites with CSS. For more information,
see “Item Styles” in the online help.
• Fully compliant with all internet standards: Fully compliant HTML
code is generated that passes W3C recommendations and validation.
You also now have more control over how the HTML code generates.
• Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Greater access to all aspects of
your web site and generation of fully compliant HTML improves the

Taskbar
The Taskbar to the left of the screen consists of two gray category buttons:
Home and Edit.
When you click a category button, you display one of two Taskbars—the
Home Taskbar or the Edit Taskbar. Each of these Taskbars is a special
pane that contains a related group of buttons.
When you click one of the buttons on the Taskbar, either a Toolbar appears
along the top of the screen with corresponding buttons or a dialog opens to
perform a task.
The Home Taskbar
When Web Easy Pro starts, the Home Taskbar is selected by default,
letting you design documents, build and publish them on the Internet,
import images, or display the Activity Center. For a view of the Home
taskbar and its toolbars see “Home Taskbar and Toolbars” on page 138.
The Edit Taskbar
After you design or open a document, the Edit Taskbar contains Toolbars
that allow you to work with items in your document. It provides options to
edit pages, images, text and shapes or arrange the items. It also provides
access to a selection of Tools (or Assistants) and Multimedia controls.
If you try to select the Edit category before you have an open document,
Web Easy Pro prompts you to open a document. For a view of the Edit
taskbar and its toolbars see “Edit Taskbar and Toolbars” on page 139.
Menu Bar
The menu bar contains the menus. Click a menu heading to display a list
of options. Choosing an option performs an action, displays a dialog, or
opens another list of options.
• Gray items in a menu are options that are not currently available.
• If an arrow follows a menu option, choose it to open a list of further
options.
26 • Learning the Basics of Web Easy Pro Web Easy Professional 6

Toolbars
A toolbar is a set of buttons, arranged horizontally below the menu bar.
The button clicked in the taskbar controls which toolbar appears. In
addition, as you select items in your workspace, the appropriate taskbar
automatically appears.
To display a toolbar, click the corresponding button in the taskbar.
For example, in the Edit taskbar, click Image, and the Edit Image toolbar
appears along the top of the screen.
Clicking a button either performs an immediate action or displays a

dialog.
If there is a small downward-pointing triangle beside a toolbar button,
click it to display a list of further options for the tool. Choosing an option
from a menu can also perform most toolbar actions. However, not every
menu option has a corresponding toolbar button. For a view of all toolbars
see “Home Taskbar and Toolbars” on page 138 and “Edit Taskbar and
Toolbars” on page 139.
Workspace
The workspace is the large area where you work on your document. It’s
sometimes called the canvas because this is where you will construct your
masterpiece. Your document only becomes a web page after you Build it
(create HTML files) and Publish it (post it to a host provider).
File Browser
The File Browser displays the contents of the currently selected folder or
catalog. It is continuously open, however it can be minimized to save
screen space when you are not using it.
The File Browser is used for much more than just photos. You can drag
and drop images, clipart, frames, textures, movies, pre-built objects and
other items from the File Browser onto your document. To drag-and-drop
an item, click it with the left mouse button and, while holding the mouse
button down, drag the item by moving the mouse pointer onto your
document. Then, drop the item by releasing the mouse button.
For more information about the File Browser, see “Using File Browser to
Select Files” on page 33.

Working with Web Easy Pro
There are three major stages involved in creating a web site using Web
Easy Pro:
• Step 1: Designing a Document (see page 30)
• Step 2: Building the Document into a Web Site (see page 31)
• Step 3: Publishing on the Web (see page 31)
NOTE: A site must be Built (all pages and graphics

converted into a web-compatible format) before it can it can
be Published (transferring of files to your ISP or web host
provider).
Step 1: Designing a Document

A document refers to the source document that you first design in Web
Easy Pro. It contains one or more pages and all the text and graphical
items that you want published on your web site. When you’ve finished
designing the document, it must be built into a web site. While it is still in
the form of a document, you cannot publish it on the web.
Web Easy Pro documents are saved with an .alb file extension. The file is
typically saved in your My Documents folder, unless you choose another
location:
My Documents\Web Easy\Documents
There are two ways to create a document using Web Easy Pro:
• You can use the Web Site Assistant to help you create your document
in one easy step (see “Creating a Document Using the Web Site
Assistant” on page 38).
• You can design a document based on a template (see “Creating a
Document Using a Template” on page 43).
A Web Easy Pro template is a pre-designed sample document for you to
use as a style for your own document, with most of the text and graphics
already positioned. Personalize any template by adding or altering the text
and images.

Step 2: Building the Document into a Web Site
Each completed document must be converted to a web-site format that
enables people to view it with their Internet browsers on the World Wide
Web (www). Web Easy Pro does this for you in the Build process.
When you build a document into a web site, Web Easy Pro creates the
required HTML files, and converts all included graphics to web-compatible
formats. After building the document, you can view the result in an
Internet browser on your computer. For more information, see “Building a
Web Site” on page 99.
Step 3: Publishing on the Web

After you have chosen an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a web-hosting
provider for hosting your web site, you can then Publish your local web
site files. This involves transferring the set of HTML files (that you created
in the Build process) from your local computer to your ISP’s remote
computer on the Internet.
Use the Publish Assistant, which guides you through the complete file
transfer process using the Internet’s file transfer protocol (FTP). For more
information, see “Publishing a Web Site” on page 103.
More advanced users can publish their web site using FTP Max, the built-
in FTP-client utility supplied with Web Easy Pro. For more information
about FTP Max, see the online help.
VCOM Preferred Web Hosting
The process of publishing your web site can be greatly simplified by using
VCOM’s Preferred Web Hosting provider. To preview the iEasySite
service, open the Help menu and choose Visit VCOM Web Site >
Preferred Web Hosting.
iEasySite offers economical web hosting and a wide range of hosting
options, such as domain name registration, traffic reports, search engine
submission, etc., while automating the technical aspects of File Transfer
Protocol (FTP).

Using the Activity Center
The Activity Center provides you with a handy choice of activities to get
you started quickly. With experience, you’ll be familiar enough with Web
Easy Pro to perform the same tasks using the menus and toolbars.
The Activity Center appears automatically when you start Web Easy Pro,
unless you have previously turned the option off. If the Activity Center has
been removed from the program startup, you can still view it at any time.
To view the Activity Center, open the Tools menu and choose Activity
Center or display the Home taskbar and click the Activity button.
The following buttons are available in the Activity Center:
Web Site let’s you design a web site using the Web Site Assistant. For
more information see “Creating a Document Using the Web Site
Assistant” on page 38.
Open Document let’s you browse for documents that have been
previously created. For more information see “Opening Your
Document” on page 48.
Recent Document opens your last web site document.
Blank Site let’s you design a new document with or without a

template. Replace the text and images with your own in the template,
or choose a blank page and create your own design. For more
information see “Creating a Document Using a Template” on page 43
or “Creating a Document Using Your Own Design” on page 45.
Interactive Tutorial shows you how to complete many basic and
advanced tasks. Just follow the steps. For more information see “Using
the Interactive Tutorial” on page 23.
Publish Web Site let’s you uploading your files to your remote web
host site on the Internet with the Publish Assistant. For more
information see “Publishing a Web Site” on page 103.
To prevent the Activity Center from opening when Web Easy Pro starts,
uncheck the Show at Startup box.

Using File Browser to Select Files
File Browser makes it easy to find, display, and select files. The process of
inserting items into your document is simplified as File Browser displays
graphic thumbnails of your files, and you just drag and drop them onto
your documents. It supports over 150 file formats including images, web
files, animations, audio, video, and documents.
Location Bar
Tree Pane Display Pane
Browsing for Images

File Browser provides access to all kinds of images, objects, buttons,
forms, gadgets, and other items of pre-written code. You can drag or drop
any of these items onto your document.
• The Tree pane on the left allows you to browse to the required folder
to find the images that you need.
• The Display pane on the right displays thumbnails of files.
• The Location bar above the Display pane has shortcuts to graphics in
commonly used catalogs such as clipart and images.
To view additional options, click the double-arrow button on the right
side of the Location bar.

To Locate Items Using File Browser
There are several ways to locate, view, and select items using File
Browser.
• Click a button on the Location bar, such as Photos. A group of
folders appear in the Display pane. Double-click a folder to view the
photos within it.
• Similar to a web browser, use the left and right arrow buttons to move
among previous selections.
Back Forward
Up One Level
• Click the Up One Level button to move up to the parent folder.

• Click the Folders button to view folders in the Tree pane. Browse
through the folders on your computer and click a folder to display its

• Click the Favorites button or the History button and browse through
the previously viewed folders.
• Type the path to your images in the Address box window.
For example: C:\My Documents\My Photos\Products
As you browse, you can drag-and-drop items from the Display pane onto
your document.
You can also use File Browser to set up favorite locations, organize files
and folders, change the sort order, or select the thumbnail sizes.
For more information, see to the online help.
Changing the Size of File Browser

You can expand or reduce the viewing area of File Browser to see more
items at a time or to increase the workspace above it. To adjust the height
of the File Browser window, click and drag the divider line between File
Browser and the Web Easy Pro workspace.

click the Options button to open the Options dialog.
For more information, see the online help.
Where to Find Clipart, Images, and More

In addition to your own photos and art, when you install Web Easy Pro, a
small portion of the VCOM library of clipart and photos are copied from
the program CD to your hard drive. The Web Easy Pro program CD
contains even more clipart and images.
During the installation, you’re given the option to copy all the files to your
hard disk. However, doing so will use about 350 MB of additional disk
space and might take 15-25 minutes to install. To save disk space, you can
access all the clipart and image files directly from the CD without
installing them.
To access the CD clipart using File Browser, insert the Web Easy Pro CD.
When the introductory installation message appears, click Exit. In Web
Easy Pro’s File Browser, select your CD drive. Additional clipart and
photos are in the VCOMWE folder in two sub-folders: Clipart and Clipart1.
Browse to find the additional clipart or photos you want to use.
VCOM also provides additional clipart and photos online at VCOM’s web
site. To access these items, open the Help menu and choose Visit VCOM
Web Site > Art Online. The first time you use Art Online you’re asked to
enter your email and password from when you registered Web Easy Pro.

Creating Documents
Overview
Your document file contains one or more pages and all the text and
graphical items that you want published on your web site. When you’ve
finished creating and designing the document, it must be built into a web
site. While it is still in the form of a document, you cannot publish it on the
web.
You can create a new document using one of the following methods:
• Creating a Document Using the Web Site Assistant (see page 38)
• Creating a Document Using a Template (see page 43)
• Creating a Document Using Your Own Design (see page 45)
You can also speed up your design process by importing an existing web
site or web page into your Web Easy Pro document.

Importing an Existing Web Site or Page

You can import an existing web site or page into a Web Easy Pro
document, so that you can take advantage of features that simplify your
web development.
Importing a web site involves converting existing HTML files to the format
used by Web Easy Pro. This procedure automatically identifies the basic
HTML elements, such as site structure, links, text, and images, and creates
a new web site design that includes all the necessary pages and all the
recognized items on each page.
In certain circumstances Web Easy Pro might not be able to import all the
elements and attributes from the existing HTML files. However, you
should be able to import and restore all your text and image elements, as
well as the position of these items.

To Import an HTML Web Site
4. Click the Import button to open the Import Web Site dialog.
5. Choose the HTML file that should become the main home page of the
Web Site.
6. Click Open.
7. Wait until the conversion process is complete.
This might take a while if the web site has many pages or you are using a
slower speed system.
A new web site design document is created, but not saved.
We recommended saving the entire document in a separate folder as an
archive, where all the necessary images will be copied for future use.
Then, save it again in your working folder for editing.

To Add an HTML Page
1. Open your document.
2. Click the Edit button to display the Edit Taskbar.

Working with Items

You can work with three main types of items in your documents: images,
text, and shapes. This section discusses features that apply to all three. The
following sections discuss specific tasks that can only be performed on a
particular type of item.
Selecting Items
Before you can edit an item in your document, you need to select it. Select
an item by clicking it using the left mouse button. The item is selected if
the square sizing handles appear on the corners and sides of the item.
To cancel the selection, click somewhere else on the document. You can
select more than one item at a time and edit them simultaneously.
To select every item on a page, open the Edit menu and choose Select All.
Change your selection by clicking a different item, or press TAB to switch
between the items.
To Select Several Items
1. Click an item.
2. Hold down the SHIFT key and click another item.
3. Keep the SHIFT key down and click any other items you want selected.
To deselect an item, hold the SHIFT key down and click a selected item.

Moving an Item
1. Select the item you want to move.
2. Click and drag the item to the new position.
An outline of the item appears to show you its moved position.
3. Release the mouse button to drop the item in its new position.
Resizing an Item
You can resize an item by dragging a sizing handle. When you drag a
sizing handle on a text frame, you resize the text frame, not the text. To
size the text along with the text box, hold down the ALT key while resizing.
To Use the Size and Position Dialog
1. Select the item that you want to resize.
3. Click the Image button to display the Edit Image Toolbar.
4. Click the Size button to display the Image Size and Position dialog.

If you selected Keep image aspect ratio, enter either the width or
height and the other is calculated automatically.
To undo any previous resizing, click the Original Size button.
7. Enter the Position in pixels where you want the image placed on the
page, relative to the upper-left corner of the page.

Right box, based on the size of the image.
• Entering a number in the Top box changes the number in the
Bottom box, based on the size of the image.
8. Click OK to apply the changes.

Grouping Items
Two or more items can be grouped together so that they can move together
like a single item. You can edit grouped items, simultaneously editing all
the items that are in the group.
When group of items is selected, diamond-shaped sizing handles appear

on the corners and sides. You can use these handles to resize or rotate the
group. Clicking an item in a group switches the handles between diamond-
shaped for group selection and square-shaped for individual selection.
• When the handles are diamonds, you can edit the entire group.
• When the handles are squares, you can edit the individual item.
To Group Items
2. Click the Arrange button to display the Arrange Items Toolbar.

Windows clipboard. The item can then be pasted into a different position.
To Cut an Item
2. Select the item to be cut.

3. Click the Cut button.
You can also open the Edit menu and choose Cut to cut a selected item.
Copying Items
Copying an item places it onto the Windows clipboard. An identical item
can then be pasted into another position. Unlike cutting, copying does not
remove the item from its original position.
To Copy an Item
2. Select the item to be copied.

3. Click the Copy button.
You can also open the Edit menu and choose Copy to copy a selected
item.
Pasting an Item

2. Click the Paste button.

3. Move the item to where you want it.
You can also open the Edit menu and choose Paste to paste an item.

Changing Layer Position of Items
Items on a page are arranged in layers. The first item you place on a page
is on the bottom layer and the most recently placed item is on the top. If
you drag one item over another, the uppermost layer covers the other. You
can rearrange the way the layers are stacked. You can take an item and
send it forward or back one layer, or send it to the front or the back of the
entire group.
To Layer Items
3. Select the item to be moved forward or backward.

4. Click the Order button and choose an option from the drop-down list:
• Bring to Front brings the item to the top of the stack of layers.

2. Press the DELETE key on your keyboard, or open the Edit menu and
choose Delete, to display a confirmation message.

Working with Text
Text in Web Easy Pro is contained in a text frame. After typing the text,
you can move the text frame around the page and treat it like one of the
objects on your page. You can have as many text frames on a page as you
like.
A text frame has two modes: Object mode and Edit mode.
• In Object mode, the text appears with a transparent background and
with handles, like other objects. You move it around, add fills,
shadows, and other effects.
To select a text frame in Object mode, click the text once.
• In Edit mode, the text appears as black on a white background, with a
flashing cursor indicating where you can type. In this mode, you can
edit the text itself, adding and deleting words.
To enter Edit mode, double-click on a text frame. To exit Edit mode,
click outside the text frame on the workspace.
Keep your text frames larger than the area taken up by the text. You need
this extra space because some Internet browsers might display text in a
larger font. Any text that doesn’t fit into the text frame won’t appear.
Types of Text
There are three types of text frames you can choose from: Plain Text, Rich
Text, and Graphic Text. All of these can use your choice of fonts, styles,
sizes, colors, and more.
• Plain Text uses the same style for all the text within the plain text
frame. You can choose different fonts, bold, italics or colors, but it
applies to all the text in that frame. This is the most efficient text type.
• Rich Text allows different styles of text to appear in the same frame.
You can also create web links within the frame. The Rich text toolbar
lets you create bullets, numbered lists, indents, create and change
tables, and more. You can select text and use standard shortcuts for
creating bold (CTRL-B), italics (CTRL-I), and underlined (CTRL-U) text.
• Graphics Text is used for unusual text effects such as filling the font
face with gradients or textures. We recommend that you use this type
with larger size fonts, since the text might be difficult to read at small
font sizes.
While all three text types support left, center, or right alignment, in Rich
Text you can also have left-and-right justified text.
You can convert Plain Text to Rich Text at any time. To do so, select the
Plain Text frame, and then open the Modify menu (not the Modify button
in the toolbar) and choose the Rich Text Formatting option.

Inserting a Text Frame and Text
When you insert new text, you open a new text frame.
2. Click the Text button to display the Edit Text Toolbar.
3. Click the Insert button for Plain Text, or click the arrow on the right
side of the Insert button and choose Plain Text, Rich Text, or
Graphic Text.
4. Click on the page in the location where you want to place the new
text.
5. Type your text.
After you finish, click anywhere on the workspace outside the text frame.
Editing Text Content

3. Select the text frame to be modified.

4. Click the Modify button to switch the text box to Edit mode.
The text appears as black on a white background, with a flashing
cursor indicating where you can type.
• To add to the text, click in the required location and start typing.
• To delete part of the text, press the DELETE key on your keyboard
to delete to the right of the cursor, or select part of the text with
your mouse and type over it.
5. Click somewhere outside the text frame to exit Edit mode.
You can also double-click a text frame to switch to Edit mode.

Changing Text Properties
3. Click once on the text frame to select it in Object mode.

Don’t double-click the text frame.
4. Click the Font button to display the Font dialog.

• Choose a color from the Color list.
A preview of your changes appears in the Sample box.
6. Click OK.
For Plain Text and Rich Text, we recommend that you limit your use of
fonts to Arial™, Times New Roman™, and Verdana™. These are
supported by most browsers, while other fonts might not be supported.
Graphics text can use any font. Web Easy Pro automatically converts the
graphic text to a graphic image when you build your web site.

Working with Scenes
Scenes let you create a web site containing pages that change appearance
based on the time of day, the day of the month, the month of the year, and
more. Visitors to your web site will enjoy a very rich, dynamic viewing
experience.
The Scenes Assistant enables you to change images, text, or backgrounds
on the same web site page based on certain theme conditions being met. A
visitor to your web site will experience these themes. For example, the
theme called Day of the Week might display different kinds of marketing
slogans when visiting the web site on Monday, Tuesday, or Sunday.
• A Theme is a collection of the possible scenes typically driven by the
time on the visitor’s computer, such as the day of the week.
• A Scene is a web site page design prepared for a particular instance
from the theme collection, such as Monday, summer, or Mother’s
Day.

Viewing Scenes
The appearance of the Web Site can be prepared by editing the content or
the attributes of existing design items, such as:
• text
• images
• text font
• plain text color, gradient or texture
• shape color (gradient and texture are not available for scenes)
• outlined shape color (gradient and texture are not available for scenes)
• page background color, gradient or texture
• page background sound
A web site built using scenes can be tested in your Internet browser by
reloading the page after you’ve modified the Date/Time on your computer.
In preview mode, an option lets you see how each scene appears.
Adding and editing scenes in the web site document is only possible while
the Scene Assistant is open.
Recommendations
• When defining scenes for text items, choose only small text items.
• Keep consistent coloring for text and use only colors, gradients, or
textures.
• Don’t create too many scenes, since it might be difficult to maintain
and find them later.
You can change the appearance of the web site for only a few scenes from
a theme collection. For example you can use the Day of the Week theme
to have a different scene on Sunday only.
Images with scene definitions must not have crop or image effects applied,
and should all be the same size.
Scenes are generated only when the Web Site is built as Dynamic HTML.
A Web Page with scenes should not include forms, custom script,
animation, or effects that might conflict with the HTML code used to
activate the scenes.

Adding Scenes
1. Open an existing Web Site Document.
2. Open the View menu and choose Scene Assistant to open the Web
Site Scene Assistant.
3. Select a theme from the drop-down list.

4. Select a scene from the list.

list since this is the default scene.
5. Select an item on your page that will change depending on the scene.
6. Modify the image, text, color, or font of this item.
7. Repeat steps 4, 5, and 6 as many times as required for each scene you
want to use.
You don’t have to connect an item to every scene, but the top most
scene will be used for any unconnected scenes. If you leave the top-
most item blank, then no item will appear on dates or times that have
no scenes.
8. Verify that your design is correct by selecting different scenes from
the list.
The items on the page change depending on which scene you select.
9. Preview the document in your Internet Browser while the Scene
Assistant is open.
To see scenes and the Scene Preview Monitor, open the Build menu
and choose Preview Page.
A temporary Scene Preview Monitor is added to the web site so
that you can simulate scene changes. To show the monitor, click
on the icon in the top left corner.

site using Web Easy Pro, and include the eShop Buy Now or Add to Cart
buttons for each product you are selling.
Recommendations
When setting up your e-commerce web site, take care to choose a vendor
who suits your needs. Check the vendors’ web sites to determine their
terms and conditions, and what fees they charge.
Please be aware of all rules and requirements your country and
international law imposes on e-commerce business activities.
You should delete or edit the e-commerce demonstration objects that have
been added to the template documents. These objects won’t work properly

your document.
3. Release the mouse button.

Building a Web Site
Overview
Building a document is the process of converting it into a web site. This
process is necessary because you can’t publish it on the web while it is still
in the form of a document. Building a document creates a web site
package file that contains the files required for the web site on the remote
server.
You can build your document into four types of web sites:
• A Standard web site (HTML) includes basic features without extras,
such as rollover images, page transitions, or animated text and
objects.
• A Dynamic web site (DHTML) includes extra features, such as page
transitions, path animations, and Dynamic HTML effects. For more
information about, see “Creating Dynamic Web Sites” on page 111.
• An HTML web site with CSS includes CSS and style class support,
but does not support some of the dynamic effects, such as scenes or
page transitions found in DHTML web pages.
• An XHTML web site with CSS includes the same features as HTML
with CSS, but uses the stricter coding standards not found in HTML
For more information about HTML and XHTML, go to the World Wide
Web Consortium at www.w3.org.
You will need to consult with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to get
the required site hosting details prior to using the Publish Assistant. For
more information about using the Publish Assistant, see “Publishing a
Web Site” on page 103.
If you don’t already have a subscription to an ISP, consider using VCOM’s
Preferred Web Hosting solution. For information about this service, open
the Help menu and choose Visit VCOM Web Site > Preferred Web
Hosting.

Publishing a Web Site
Overview
Publishing a web site is the process of transferring it to the Internet so that
other people can view it with their Internet browsers. To publish, you need
to have an account with an Internet Service provider (ISP), that allocates
space for your files on their server (their host computer). The server is also
known as the remote host. Publishing involves uploading your web site
and any extra elements, such as graphics or sound files, from your
computer to your remote host.
There are seven major steps for publishing using the Publish Assistant:
• Step 1: Before You Publish (see page 103)
• Step 2: Open the Publish Assistant (see page 104)
• Step 3: Connect to Your Remote Host (see page 105)
• Step 4: Choose the Package to Publish (see page 108)
• Step 5: Check the Transfer Settings (see page 108)
• Step 6: Transfer the Package to the Remote Host (see page 109)
• Step 7: View Your Remote Web Site (see page 109)
Step 1: Before You Publish

1. Design your document (see “Creating Documents” on page 37 and
“Editing Documents” on page 53).
2. Build it into a web site (see “Building a Web Site” on page 99).
3. Contact your ISP and received your connection details from them, or
you can use the iEasySite, which requires no special details.
4. Connect to the Internet.

Creating Dynamic Web Sites
Overview
A Dynamic web site is one that uses Dynamic Hypertext Markup
Language (DHTML). DHTML allows animation of items on your web page.
A dynamic web site can include any or all of the following features:
• Rollover images that change when you point at them using a mouse
(see “Adding Rollovers” on page 112).
• Transitions between pages (see “Adding Page Transitions” on page
114).
• Objects that fade in or out (see “Adding Effects to Objects” on page
115)
• Animated items that move along a path (see “Animating Objects” on
page 116)
• Web sites that operate like a slideshow (see “Creating a Slideshow”
on page 117)
The special features described in this section only work for dynamic web
sites. If you use DHTML features in your web site, click the Build As
button and choose the the Dynamic HTML box when you build the
document (see “Building a Web Site” on page 99).
Web Easy Professional 6 Creating Dynamic Web Sites • 111

Adding Rollovers
A rollover image changes to another image when a mouse moves over it.
When the mouse moves off the image, it returns to its initial state. You can
have numerous rollover images so when you move your mouse over the
image the next sequential image appears. When you move off of the
rollover it always returns to the initial image. Rollovers only work on
DHTML pages. Make sure that Dynamic HTML is checked in the Build
dialog (see “Building a Web Site” on page 99)
NOTE: Do not add shadow to images. Shadows change the

size of the image and interfere with the creation of the
rollover.
Using the Rollover Image Assistant

The Rollover Image Assistant dialog lets you insert or customize a group
of items, which are converted to a rollover button when building a
Dynamic Web Page.
To Insert a Simple Rollover Button

For a dynamic and exciting effect, give an item an animated path. It will
move across the page along that path—along a wave, with a swinging
motion, flying out from a corner, and more. You can edit the path and
decide on the timing.
1. Select the item to be animated.
4. Click the Animation button to display the Path Animation dialog.
5. Click the down arrow and choose a path from the list.
The selected path appears on your page as a dotted line.
6. Click the Edit path button if you want to adjust the path.
Handles appear along the path.
• The blue handle represents the beginning of the animation.
• The red handle represents the end of the animation.
• The green handles represent points along the path.
In the example above, the balloons would follow the wave pattern
shown.
7. Drag a handle to adjust its position or drag the dotted line to move the
entire path.

8. Enter the duration for the animation in the Display for box.
The number to the left of the decimal point represents seconds.
9. Enter the starting time for the animation in the Start after box.
For example, if you enter 1.5, the animation will start one and a half
seconds after the page appears.
10. Check the Blink box to give your animation a blinking effect.
11. Check the Loop box to make your animation repeat itself
continuously.
12. Click the Fit Start button to make sure that the starting position for
the animation is the current location of the item.
This helps avoid the jumpy start that can occur with animations if
they begin at a different location.
13. Click on the Close button in the top-right corner of the dialog to
close the Path Animation dialog and save the settings.

Making a Web Site: A Tutorial
Overview
This quick tutorial walks you through creating a customized web site in a
matter of minutes. You’ll learn the basics, discover some handy tricks, and
build and publish a web site to the Internet using iEasySite’s free trial.
We assume that you’ve read at least part of this guide, such as “Getting
Started” on page 13 and “Learning the Basics of Web Easy Pro” on page
25, and have a basic understanding of the taskbar and toolbars.
Our example is a nature photo site.
Selecting a Template
To begin our sample web site, open Web Easy Pro. If you haven’t
registered, you can register now or choose Later. Choosing the Later
option does not restrict your use of Web Easy Pro in any way.
1. Click the Web Site button in the Activity Center to open the Web Site
Assistant.
Web Easy Professional 6 Making a Web Site: A Tutorial • 123

3. Click the Hobbies and Events tab.

4. Select Plain.
This is a six-page template, which you will use for your new site. It
helps illustrate that a template can be used as a starting point and can
be made into something entirely different.
5. Click Next.
6. Use the default storage location for your new web site but change the
name to Nature.

7. Click Next.
You’re asked to add photos to the template. When you use templates,
you might want to skip this step and make your individual selections
later. In this tutorial, you’ll add a folder full of pictures.
8. Click the Browse button above the Images list and locate the Nature
folder.
9. Click on OK.
10. Click the Allocate all images button to move photos into pre-
set positions for this template.

generic text included with the template. Typically, you would’ve
spent a little time adding real text to the site that fits your needs.
4. Close the browser and return to Web Easy Pro.

Building the Web Site
1. Open the Build menu and choose then Web Site (HTML) to open the
Build Dynamic Web Site dialog.
You can use all of the standard settings in this dialog.

Problems with Items

An item on my web site is hidden behind another one
Web Easy Pro allows you to layer items from back to front. If you want to
move an item to the front, select it and then open the Arrange menu and
choose Order > Bring to Front.
My frame won't fit to my image
A frame that is dragged from File Browser and dropped onto an image will
only fit if it is dropped directly onto the image. Make sure when you drop
the frame over the image and that the image first displays sizing handles
on the edges. If sizing handles aren’t displayed, the frame and image will
not fit together.
If you have an image and a frame on your document already that you want
to fit together, use the Fit dialog. Select the image and frame and then
click the Fit button in the Arrange Items Toolbar. Then, click the Frame
tab. For more information, see the online help.
My portrait images are landscape
Your digital camera might show all the images you take as landscape.
Rotate your image 90 degrees. For more information, see “Rotating an
Image” on page 67.
When I added an oval frame to my image, it didn't fit
Oval frames should be used in conjunction with oval stencils. After
you’ve dragged an oval frame onto your image, click the Stencil folder in
File Browser and view the Oval folder. Then, drag-and-drop an oval-
shaped stencil onto your image.

When I deleted my frame, my image disappeared as well
Web Easy Pro groups images and frames together to make it easy for you
to work with them. When you select a frame, the sizing handles will show
you whether you have selected just the frame or both the frame and the
image. If the sizing handles are squares, you have selected just the frame.
If the sizing handles are diamonds, you have selected both the frame and
the image.
If the selection you have made is not the one you wanted, select the item
again. The sizing handles should alternate between diamond and square
each time you select an item.
An easier way to remove a frame from an image is to click the Modify
button on the Edit Image Toolbar and then choose Clear Frame.
Problems with Text

My text has become an image
Text sometimes becomes an image in an Internet browser because the text
is overlapped onto another item on the page. To prevent text becoming an
image, make sure your text items don’t overlap, or build as DHTML.
Text also becomes an image when you apply a gradient or texture fill.
In HTML web sites, adding a shadow also causes text to become an image,
although this isn’t the case in DHTML web sites.
I can't see all of my text
If you enlarge text after you type it in, the text box boundaries might be
too small to display all the text. Enlarge the text box by selecting the text
box and dragging the sizing handles that appear around the edges.
• Use the sizing handles on the sides of the text box to widen it.
• Use the sizing handles on the top and bottom of the text box to
increase the height.
• Use the sizing handles on the corners of the text box to increase the
height and width at the same time.

Problems with Links
Some of my links to other sites don't work
Web Easy Pro doesn't verify that the Internet addresses you provide are
correct. Although, you can use the Link Map Assistant (open the Tools
menu and choose Link Map Assistant) to check your internal links from
and into each page (see “Viewing Links Using the Site Map Assistant” on
page 84).
• Make sure that you haven’t made any mistakes in entering the Internet
addresses and that the addresses are still valid.
• Make sure that the Internet address that you entered begins with
http://, since this is required for links to other sites.
If you can’t find anything wrong with the addresses, see your Internet
Service Provider.
Some of the links to other parts of my site aren't working
Make sure that you haven’t created links to pages that you’ve
subsequently deleted. It’s best to add your links after you’ve completely
finished designing your document. Use the Link Map Assistant (open the
Tools menu and choose Link Map Assistant) to check your links from
and into each page (see “Viewing Links Using the Site Map Assistant” on
page 84).
Problems with Publishing

The Publish Assistant says required files have been
deleted from my local folder
This occurs when a package file is missing from the local folder on your
computer. If the package file for the web site you are publishing is
missing, the Publish Assistant can’t compare local and remote files
requiring you to re-publish your entire web site.
If the package file for a web site you want to delete is missing, the Publish
Assistant can’t delete that web site. Copy the package file from the HTML
folder (or the folder in which you stored the HTML files for your web site)
into the local folder. Now when you publish, the Publish Assistant will be
able to delete the web site.

There’s not enough disk space on my remote host to
publish my web site
If this is the first time you’re publishing your web site, check that the
space your ISP has allocated to you for a web site is greater than the size
of the contents of your local web site folder. Your local web site folder is
typically at:
\\My Documents\Web Easy\HTML\your_web_site_name
If the allocated space on the remote host is smaller, you can either request
more space from your ISP or reduce the size of your web site. You can
reduce the size of your web site by reducing the size of any large graphics,
by removing a page, or by removing large files that are linked to the site.
If you have already published a web site, you can make the one you are
publishing now smaller, or you can delete the first web site from your
remote host. Deleting a web site from your remote host does not remove
your local version of it.
Problems with Viewing your Site in a Browser

Some of my linked items aren’t visible
If your Internet browser isn’t displaying an item on your web site that has
a particular type of link (for example, an embedded object link), it doesn’t
support that type of link. You might need to upgrade to the latest version
of your Internet browser in order to view these linked items. The latest
versions of most Internet browsers are free to download from the Internet.
When I view my web site in an Internet browser, it isn’t
displayed correctly
Because Web Easy Pro enables you to do so much with your web site, the
HTML files that you build can be quite complex; some older versions of
Internet browsers can’t handle that complexity.
Try altering your document design to reduce complexity. One way of
doing this is to avoid having items that overlap. If you don’t want to alter
your design, you can try viewing your web site in other Internet browsers,
or upgrading to a newer version of the Internet browser you are using.
You should remember that even though some browsers display your web
site without problems, others will not—and a lot of people might be using
those other browsers. You should try to create a web site that can be
viewed without problems using as many different browsers as possible.

When I view my web site in different Internet browsers, it
looks different
Internet browsers function differently and have different capabilities. This
variation causes them to display your web site differently. Sometimes
there is nothing you can do about the differences. For example, some
browsers use different color palettes and this causes them to display colors
differently.
If you use Large Fonts in Windows some browsers will provide improper
font sizes that aren’t controllable by HTML.
For information about which browsers and browser versions are
supported, see the online help.
Uninstalling Web Easy Pro

You can easily uninstall Web Easy Pro from your computer. If you plan to
reinstall a registered copy of Web Easy Pro after you uninstall it, you
might need to register it again.
1. Open the File menu and choose Exit to quit the program.
2. Open the Windows Start menu and choose Settings > Control Panel.
3. Double-click Add/Remove Programs.
4. Choose Web Easy Professional from the list of programs.
5. Click the Add/Remove button.
Web Easy Pro is removed from your hard disk. However, work you’ve
completed (such as creating a web site) isn’t removed by uninstalling the
program.
The program can be reinstalled the same way it was originally installed
(see “Quick Installation” on page 15).
