Using the Start Manager

The Start Manager enables you to choose what type of blank document you want to use when you start First Page 2006 - either one of the pre-installed (X)HTML documents, or a template document you previously created. You can also use the Start Manager when First Page 2006 is already open to quickly create a new document.

To use the Start Manager:

  1. Click on the Tools > Launch Start Manager menu option or press F5.

  2. To create a default HTML page (4.01 Transitional document type definition), click on the Create Default Document button. You now have a new page you can create with First Page 2006. You are now finished with this procedure - refer to How to... for more information about what you can do with First Page 2006.

    To create another type of document, double-click on one of the template documents in the Document Templates or User Templates tabs.
