2. File

The [File] menu contains commands about document management (making documents, saving documents, publishing documents, etc).

(1) New

[File | New] <Ctrl+N>

The New command is used to create a new HTML document. When you select [File | New], a blank HTML document editing window is created. The default name of a document tab is "noname1.htm." In this file name, the number will be 1, 2, or something, according to the order of the currently created documents. That is, the first created document will be named "noname1.htm," the second "noname2.htm," etc.

[Information] When you create or open a file, a document tab appears and informs you which document is opened and is currently being edited.

(2) Open

 [File | Open] <Ctrl+O>

The Open command is used to open an existing document.

  1. Select the [File | Open] menu, and the [Open] dialog box will appear.

  2. Go to the directory in which the file exists and enter the name of the file or click the file to be opened in the [File Name] input field.
  3. Click the [Open] button. The contents of the file will be displayed in the editing window and the document tab will show the file name.

If you change [Files of types], the [Open] dialog box lists different file types.

The dialog box provides the following three file types: HTML Files (*.htm;*.html), Text Files (*.txt), and All Files.

Open File As

This dialog box appears when you choose the Text File type or non-HTML file type in the [Open] dialog box. Select a suitable type in [Open Type].

Text - line 

If this option is selected, Namo WebEditor converts each paragraph in the text file to normal text and preserves the line endings by inserting line breaks (comparable to <Enter>) at the end of each line. Therefore, if you look at the source, you will see that the <p> tag at the end of each line.

Text - paragraph

If this option is selected, Namo WebEditor converts each paragraph in the text file to normal text and preserves only the paragraph endings. Each line feed is ignored. Therefore, each paragraph will have only one paragraph tag <p>, and not a line break tag <br>.

HTML

If this option is selected, Namo WebEditor ignores file extensions. Therefore, Namo WebEditor regards the file as an HTML document, and there will be no changes in the source file.

Preformatted text

If this option is selected, Namo WebEditor displays the text with no change. Therefore, even two continuous spaces or HTML tags will be displayed.

(3) Close

[File | Close] <Ctrl+F4>

The Close command is used to close the currently edited document. This command does not exit Namo WebEditor.

Select the [File | Close] menu.

If you have made some changes on the document and have not saved it yet, a dialog box will appear and ask you whether you want to save the current file or not. Also, if the document is new, the dialog box will appear.

Text - paragraph

If this option is selected, Namo WebEditor converts each paragraph in the current HTML document to a normal text file and ignores all lines, except line breaks, which are marked with a <p> tag - the paragraph tag . Namo WebEditor only converts the <p> tag to CL+LF. Namo WebEditor saves the document without any font styles, paragraph styles, and images.

(10) Page Setup

[File | Page Setup]

The Page Setup command is used to set page options, such as headers, footers, and margins. Also, you can select the option of printing a background image. Once you change this setup, it will be applied to all documents. The method of turning these options on is simple: just click the appropriate check boxes.

The function of each option is as follows:

  • Header
  1. Document Title
    You can determine whether Namo WebEditor prints the Document Title or not. If this option is checked, the Document Title will be printed at the upper left corner. If there is no document title, then the URL is printed instead.
  2. Document Location (URL)
    This option determines whether to print the Document Location.
    For example, if this document is on the root A-drive and is named "test.html" then "A:\test.html" is printed on the right side of the header. On the other hand, if the document is on a Web server, the URL (such as http://www.namo.com/index.html) will be printed on the right side of the header.
  • Footer
  1. Page Number
    Determines whether to print page numbers.
    1. Page Total
      Determines whether to print the total number of pages.
      For example, assume that the document has 7 pages and the current page is 4.
      If Page Number and Page Total option is both on then
      at the left side of the footer "4/7" is printed.
    2. Date Printed
      Determines whether to print the date.
      If this option is selected, the date is printed at the right side of the footer.
  1. Margins
    Sets the proper right, left, top and bottom margins. The default value is 13 mm.
  2. Print Background
    If you want to print a background image on your printed document, check this option. The default is off. Since a printer toner is exhausted very quickly when printing a background image, this option whould be checked only when a background image is very important.

[Caution] If you want to setup different printer paper, select the [File | Print] menu.

(11) Recent Files

When you open a file, Namo WebEditor updates the information of the recently opened file list. Namo WebEditor keeps the maximum ten opened-file names in the list. If you select the [File | Recent Files] menu, you can view the file list and the first file in the list will be the most recently opened file.

(12) Exit

[File | Exit]

The Exit command is used to exit Namo WebEditor after closing all editing windows. When you select the [File | Exit] menu, if you have made any changes you haven't saved, Namo WebEditor will ask you whether you want to save them before exiting or not.

(13) Document Tab

The Document tab is the one which displays the name of the currently opened document.

The Document Tab will be changed when you create a new document or open an existing document. You can see how many documents are opened and which document is currently being edited. For example, from the above Document Tab, you can note that five documents are opened and the name of the currently edited document is "noname1.htm".
At the Document tab, you can save document, close a document, or change the properties of a document.

[Tip] The <Ctrl+Tab> key loads the next document into the current editing window, and the <Ctrl+Shift+Tab> key loads the previous document into the current editing window.

[Tip] If you click right mouse button on the Document Tab, the Popup menu appears, in which you can close the document, save the document, or change the properties of the document.
