Page Properties
Use the Page Properties dialog box, shown in Figure 2-21, to format your HTML documents. The dialog box includes options to set the margins, background images and colors, text and link colors, and options to control text encoding. It is accessed by using Modify → Page Properties, Ctrl+J (Windows), or Cmd+J (Macintosh).
Tip
The Page Properties dialog box sets formatting attributes using the
<body>
tag, which works
with 3.0 browsers but does not conform to the latest HTML standards.
Chapter 10 explains how to set similar properties
using CSS, when supporting 4.0+ browsers.
