Caution!
When you change the size of the layout frame by inserting text or inputting an image, click the [Explanation] button of [Displayed Size] in the "Layout Frame" dialog box. Determine the display size and set the size of the layout frame accordingly.
Hint When you have made two or more layout frames that are difficult to select because the background color of the layout frames and that of the page are similar, you can display the "Layout Frames List" dialog box by selecting, from the menu, "Show"->"Layout Frames List." Select the desired layout frame from the list and click the [Edit] button. Dynamic HTML will appear in the "Layout Frame" dialog box, thus enabling Dynamic HTML editing.
Hint Using Dynamic HTML more creatively
A major advantage of Dynamic HTML is that a wide range of expression is possible. For example, if you make two or more layout frames and place different text and images in each, you can produce a complex motion effect. Especially, when you use animated GIF files a popular moving image format you can combine the motion of the animation file and that of the effect.
