When Geoff wrote his book the Legacy Home Tab had an address bar at the top where you could input a URL. Since the book was drafted the Legacy Home tab had the URL Address bar removed so Geoff's recommendation no longer works. Now you will have to have Legacy open on one side of your monitor an a w

Richard, Yes if you know some HTML or purchase LTools. There are potential problems with using non-standard (from the web point if view) fonts, and this is not the forum for discussing the ins and outs of webpage coding. I would suggest that you submit the question to WUL, which is aimed at Legacy
