Apple AppleWorks 5 : Windows 95/NT 4.0 - Manual (Page 246)

11-2 AppleWorks 5 User’s Manual
A Web page contains formatting information, which determines how the
document looks and how you can use it onscreen. You can use AppleWorks
to create and format a Web page without knowing HTML. Create a word
processing document that has the information you want on your Web page,
and then save the document in HTML format. AppleWorks adds the correct
HTML tags and your Web page is ready for delivery to your Web site.
To access, view, and place a Web page on the Web, you need:
1
a modem (internal or external)
1
a phone line or an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) line
1
a browser, an application that displays information from the Internet. (For
more information, see “About Browsers,” next.)
1
software from an Internet service provider (such as America Online or
CompuServe). For more information, refer to a specific provider.
1
an account or connection with the Internet service provider
About browsers
To open, read, and work with Web pages, you use a browser, an application that
displays information from the Web in a format you can read and work with.
Each browser interprets HTML tags differently. For example, one browser
may display headings in color with an elegant typeface, while another may
display headings in capital letters.
