HTML Tutorial 3 Most Common Tags Used in HTML Documents
Im sorry for the delay to publish new posts but something was wrong with my PC. Thats why I was in trouble with this and not able to write something new. Well Id like to continue the HTML tutorial.
In this post I will discuss about some tags which are very common in preparing HTML documents. But before you go, dont forget to look at the following posts if you havent already gone through:
- Creating a Simple HTML Document
- Basic Parts of an HTML Document
Lets talk about the most common tags of HTML documents. You should also have a close look at our example document. Some of these tags are also used in that document. I think this will be helpful for you.
- Structural Tags: <html>, <head>, and <body> are the main structural tags of any HTML document. Each and every HTML document must contain these tags. Title tag - <title> is also very important for an html document. Besides there are tags which are very common for all HTML documents. These are discussed below:
- Anchors <a href> </a>: This tag is used to create anchor text. For example: <a href=http://munnamark.blogspot.com>Marks PC Solution</a>. The browser will show only Marks PC Solution hiding the link of our site. When someone clicks on the text, he will be directed to Marks PC Solution home page
- Paragraph <p>: This tag is used to create a new para. It has no end tag! You just need to place a <p> tag when you want to create a new para.
- Line Break <br>: This tag is used to break the current line. It is similar to pressing Enter button in Word Processors like MS Word or Wordpad. This tag has no end tag too! You can break a like just by typing <br> before that line.
- Bold <b> </b>: This tag is used to bold the text. For example: <b>Bold</b>. The result will be Bold.
- Italic <i> </i>: This tag is used to italicize the text. For example: <i>Italic</i>. The result will be Italic.
- Underline <u> </u>: This tag is used to underline a text. For example: <u>Underline</u>. The result will be Underline.
- Heading Tags: Start Tags: <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5>, <h6>. End Tags: </h1>, </h2>, </h3>, </h4>, </h5>, </h6>. These tags are used to define the titles of the document. For example, <h1> is used for the document header title. <h1>Marks PC Solution</h1>. <h2> is used for the document section title. <h2>Your Ultimate Choice for Computer, Internet, Blogging, SEO & PC Troubleshooting Tips</h2>. Thus <h3>, <h4>, <h5> and <h6> decreases the font size of the title.
Dont be confused by someone or by yourself! There are many other common tags for HTML documents. But these are just for giving you an idea.
You should be careful while using the tags and their related attributes. Because any error in using the tags may result wrong output. Even a minor mistake may create serious problem. Because you may not be quick enough to find the errors!
By the way, the rules and stadard of HTML varies from time to time. Sometimes your browser is able to show the document correctly even if there is any error in the source file! But it doesnt mean that you will not try to keep the document accurate. Whatever you do, do it with care. Best of luck.

Protect your Documents Workbooks Presentations by Password !!
If youre a regular visitor of Marks PC Solution you should notice, weve published lots of tutorials on Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office and other software. Weve also published many tutorials and tips regarding security issues. You can find those tips by using the search box. Or you can search by categories: Tips n Tricks, Tutorials, Microsoft, Windows, Security etc. Today, I would like to share another tips on security.
Many of you might be familiar with the password protection system of Microsoft Office. If youre working with highly confidential documents, workbooks and presentations (ie. Exam Questions, Online Account Information, Personal Information, Other Secret files), then this is a good idea to encrypt those files by password.
But if you are not acquainted with the password protection system you should go through the whole post. You should know, the different versions of MS Office keeps the password option differently. You will not find it similar in Office 2003, 2007 and 2010. That could be difficult for you to find the password option. Thats why Im gonna discuss about all versions. :)
Note: The procedure is very similar in MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
Setting Password in MS Office Documents
Office XP and 2003:
These two versions are almost similar. All the options and tools are located at the same place. Maybe they are different just by color! Lets start -
Open MS Office Document (Word/ Excel/ PowerPoint) > Go to Tools Menu > Select Options > Hit on the Security Tab > Type your Password on Password to Open Box > Hit OK > Save the Document.
Now whenever you will open the document, first you have to enter the password. Then you will be able to access the file.
I apologize for not sharing any image. I dont use 2003 anymore. I have been using Office 2010 for last two years. But this is very easy. You will have no problem to set password in Office 2003. Upgrade to Office 2010 or 2013 to enjoy exiting features!
Office 2007:
You know Office 2007 brings a dramatic change in the interface. Its ribbon interface is absolutely different from Office 2003 or XP. But Office 2010 and 2007 are almost similar except small changes in few options. Okay start -
Open any of the Office Programs (Word, Excel or PowerPoint) > Now hit on the Office button from the top left corner > Choose Prepare and then Select Encrypt Document > A small Password box will appear > Type the Password > Hit OK > and then Confirm it > Save the Document.
Look at the image below:
Office 2010:
Though Office 2007 and 2010 are very similar, but there are some significant changes in some of the options. A major change is the disappearance of the Office button. Instead of Office button, you will see the File button in 2010. See how to do -
Open either Word, Excel or PowerPoint file > Click on the File button from the upper-left corner > Choose Info > Hit on the Protect Document from Permission section > Choose Encrypt with Password > Type your desired Password in the box and hit OK > Type again to confirm it > OK > Save the Document.
You can take help of the image below:
Note: If you dont save the document after setting the password, then it will be removed automatically. Password will be enabled after saving the document. And remember, this password has no recovery options as you can do in Gmail, Yahoo or Facebook! So be careful!
Removing/ Changing the Password
Sometimes you may set a password for testing purpose only. For example you set password in a document that doesnt need password at all. And every time youre required to type it when accessing that file. Or maybe you want to change it. But when you try to remove or change that password you cant find any option to remove it. How disgusting! :)
Well this is easier than you think! If you wanna change the password then repeat the whole process again until the password box appears. Then type a different password and save the document.
And if you would like to remove the password then just leave that box blank and save the document. Password will be removed.
Hopefully this post will be helpful for you . . . :)

XPS Documents Alternative to PDF
An XML Paper Specification (XPS) is a document format that you can use to share documents with others. Except few dissimilarities, it is exactly similar to a PDF document. More than a year back, I discussed about PDF file and Ive also discussed about how to create PDF file. Today Id like to talk about XPS.
Applies to:
- Windows 7
- Windows 8
- Windows 8.1
Though XPS is also available with Windows Vista since 2006, still this is not a popular way of sharing documents due to the widely accepted PDF documents. PDF is being used for a long time. Thousands of tools (either Premium, Freeware, Shareware or even Open Source) are available throughout the web for handling PDF documents.
You should notice, PDF viewer is available with any smart phone, tablet, laptop or desktop. It is supported by any operating system. But XPS is not so cheap. Its exclusive for Windows Vista or Above. And thats why it is not a widely accepted medium of sharing documents.
While most of the people even dont know about XPS document, I really enjoy storing my files in xps format. Believe me- this is safe too! Because a Windows XP user cant open your XPS file normally. You can easily store your information in XPS format and upload these to internet!
How to Create XPS Document?
If you can create PDF documents, then creating XPS is nothing serious for you. But if you dont know how to create PDF, then first you should read this. This will help you to be familiar with the necessary steps.
By the way Im showing you how to create XPS documents. Follow the steps below:
- Press Ctrl + P from any program you want to create PDF from.
- Create Printer > Choose Microsoft XPS Document Writer.
- Hit on the Print Button.
- Name the file and choose the destination where it should be printed.
- Finally hit the Save Button. Your file is ready.
Note: Look at the Save as Type in step 4. You can choose either .xps or .oxps.
How to View XPS Document?
To view XPS document, you have XPS Viewer with Windows 7. And in Windows 8 or 8.1, you have XPS Viewer and Windows Reader. Without XPS viewer, you cant open this type of file.
How to Use XPS Document?
I never recommend to use XPS document for sharing files with others. Because you know XPS is still unknown or unavailable to most of the people. In case of sharing files, PDF is better. But while sharing an exclusive file, XPS is a better choice for sure.
You can store your personal information through xps files. You can also upload those files online. This works like printed papers. Like printed files, XPS file doesnt allow you to change the contents easily. So you can protect your contents from alteration or overwriting.
After reading this article, hopefully you got a better idea about XPS Dcoment, XPS Document Writer and XPS Viewer. Still if you have any query just knock me. Im ready to reply to your comments . . . :)
