Enter Text	You can use HomeSite as a simple text editor and type HTML tags into your text as you would with Notepad. However you can also Enter text, highlight it, and select the desired tags. HomeSite will put the tags before and after the highlighted text. You can select tags and insert text between the tags. You can select some tags from the main menu and dropdown boxes. You can also select tags from toolbar buttons. You can access many of these tags from the Quick Tab.

	Remember that HTML will pay no attention to line spacing or tabbing. To make a new sentence start on a new line or to create a double space between paragraphs, you have to apply a tag.
