Inserting and Editing Text | MicrosoftВ® Office ExcelВ® 2003 Step by Step (Step By Step (Microsoft))

You can enter new text in a Web page by typing it directly in each page. When you use a FrontPage wizard to create a new Web site, the wizard uses comments as placeholders for the text that you need to personalize. The comments inserted by the wizard suggest the type of information you should enter in each area.

In this exercise, you will replace each of the three main blocks of placeholder text on the home page of a Web site created by the Corporate Presence Web Wizard. Then you will add additional text and mark this task as complete.
