4.2 Document options

Before starting with the web page content, and we know you're eager to get started, 

you may want to know about a few features.  The following features will assist you 

with viewing the work in progress (your web page), and establishing preferences for 

the document's properties.

Document toolbar

The document toolbar is useful for managing design views, titling the web page, and 

previewing the page in a browser.  You'll see other features on the toolbar as well, 

and while we will mention their uses, they are beyond our needs at this time.
