HTMl is hard if you dont know it. As nan stated where you want the break to be put the <BR> for each line space if you want it to be a bigger space add another this is one ths is two. For background look at your document the souce for it thats all the HTML. find the </head> Then you would put <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#080000" LINK="#330099" ALINK="#9A0273" VLINK="#330099"> WHAt allthis is is the #ffffff is the color you can also just put in black, meaning the wording for it. The text, Link, ALINK, and VLINK are for Font colors and link colors. TEXT=Sets or retrieves the text (foreground) color for the document body. LINK=Sets or retrieves the color of the document links for the object ALINK = Sets or retrieves the color of all active links in the element. VLINK= Sets or retrieves the color of links in the object that have already been visited. Hope this helps. NOW if you want a background of a photo or such. For this youd need to upload a background to a webpage and link to it. THIS steals bandwith from the site and most frawn on it. so Basic color backgrounds are better. and More people will look at a webpage when there is less distraction. As the ol saying goes LEss is more. Janet On 8/21/06, Nan <naela@earthlink.net> wrote: > > Valeria, > > Can't help you with the color.
