2. How To Use Kupu To Create/ Edit Web Page

I. Creating a Web Page using Kupu:

• Note: Kupu uses many of the same commands as typical word processors. To determine the function of each icon in the toolbar, hold the cursor over the icon without clicking on the icon.  A description of the icon's function will appear.

* Always remember to click "Save" after you have made changes to a web page.

1. To add a webpage, navigate to the folder you want the page added to.  This could be your my folder or a folder in a group that you have access to.

• Click the Add Item dropdown menu and select page.  The Edit Page screen appears.
• Click in the Title field and give the page a short title.  The Title is used to identify your page to portal visitors, and in searches. This is required.
• Click on the Description field and type a description.  A description is a one-paragraph text abstract. It accurately and concisely describes your page though inclusion of key words.  Accurate keywords in the description ensure that the content will be found during a search.  This is highly recommended.

II. Editing Text:

• Note: Kupu does not have a tool to change font size or color of text.  However, different styles for headings, subheadings, captions, etc. can be selected.

1.  To make a title, heading, or subheading, caption, etc., you can either a) use your mouse cursor to select text then click on the drop down list in the toolbar with the default style Normal.  Select the desired style; or b) select the style first, then add text. 

The following shows the text formatting of each of the options:

1. Heading

    Subheading

       Literal (this creates a text box around selected text)

• Discreet (for captions)
• Pull-Quote

• Call Out

 2.  To Bold text, either

            a) select text using the cursor, then click on the Bold  icon (B) in the toolbar; or

            b) click on the icon first, then add text. 

 3.  To Italicize text, either

            a) select text using the cursor then click on the Italic icon (I) in the toolbar; or

            b) click on the icon first, then add text.   

4. In addition to typing text into Kupu, you can also copy and paste text from a web page or a word processor.
