Saving files for the Web The easiest way to create Web pages in Canvas is to save a Canvas document using the “Save to Web” command. In this exercise, you’ll save a Canvas document in HTML format using the Save to Web command. Then you can view the page in a Web browser to see the hyperlinks, Web buttons, and animated GIFs. To begin, open the document named “Homepage.CNV.” Like the document you worked on earlier, this document contains hyperlinks, Web buttons, and animated GIFs. You’ll use this document to learn about the options for saving Web pages. To save a Web site using the Web Publishing Wizard. 1 Choose File > Save To Web to open the Web Publishing Wiz- ard, which is a series of screens to assist you in publishing your Web site. Be certain to read the dialog next to each item. 2 In the first screen, select the radio button for “Save the Entire Document”. Click Next. 3 In the second screen, select the radio button for “Auto”. Click Next. 4 When the third screen appears, select “HTML 4 with Table Layout” as the HTML output method and “Finest” for the anti- aliasing option. Click Next. 5 Click Finish to open the directory dialog box. Tip Prior to exporting your doc- ument as an HTML file, we recommend that you make certain to save your original project as a Canvas file. You can then edit the original Canvas document if you want to make changes at a later date.
