Adding, editing, and deleting text

iWeb templates contain placeholder text that you can customize or delete. You can also add more text to any webpage by adding text boxes and typing content into them.

To add, modify, or delete text:

  • To add new text to a webpage, click the Text Box button in the toolbar at the bottom of the iWeb window.

    A new text box, outlined in gray (the gray border doesn’t appear on your published site), appears in the middle of the page. As you type, the box grows to accommodate the text. You can drag from the middle of the text box to move it, and drag any of the selection handles to resize it.

  • To replace placeholder text, select the text by clicking it, and then start typing.

  • To edit text, click the text box to select it, click again where you want to add the text, and then start typing. Or, drag to select text from the insertion point and begin typing.

  • To delete the text box and all text in it, select the text box by clicking it, and then press the Delete key.

  • To delete just certain text in a text box, double-click in the text box to see the insertion point, click again where you want to place the insertion point, and drag to select the text to be deleted. Then press the Delete key.

If you accidentally delete text, choose Edit > Undo immediately to restore it.
