Adding an asset to a page

You insert most kinds of assets into a document by dragging them into the Document window's Design view, or by using the Insert button. You can either insert colors and URLs or apply them to selected text in the Design view. (URLs can also be applied to other elements in the Design view, such as images.) Templates are applied to the entire document.

To insert an asset in a document:

1	Place the insertion point in the Design view where you want the asset to appear.
2	Choose Window > Assets to open the Assets panel if it's not already open.
3	Select the category of the asset.
	Select any category other than Templates. (A template can be applied only to an entire document; it can't be inserted into a document.)
4	Select either Site or Favorites and locate the desired asset.
	There are no Site or Favorites lists for library items; skip this step if you're inserting a library item.
5	Do one of the following:
	Drag the asset from the panel into the Design view. (For scripts, you can drag into the head content area of the Document window; if that area isn't showing, first choose View > Head Content.)
	Select the asset in the panel and click Insert.
	The asset is inserted into the document. (If the asset is a color, it applies starting at the insertion point; that is, subsequent typing appears in that color.)

To change the color of selected text in a document:

1	Select the Colors category in the Assets panel.
2	Select the color to apply.
3	Click Apply.

To add a link to the current selection in a document:

1	Select the URLs category in the Assets panel, and locate a URL to apply.
2	Do one of the following:
	Drag the URL from the panel to the selection in the Design view.
	Select the URL and click the Apply button.

To apply a template to the active document:

1	Select the Template category in the Assets panel, and locate a template to apply.
2	Do one of the following:
	Drag the template from the panel to the Design view.
	Select the template and click the Apply button.
