Instructions
Changing Button Names
The names that appear on navigation bar buttons are
dynamically generated by FrontPage based upon the names that
appear on the page icons in the Navigation View flow chart.
You can change the names to suit your needs provided the names
are brief enough to fit on the button graphics.
To change the names on navigation buttons:
Switch to FrontPage Navigation View.
Right click on the
page icon that represents the link you wish to change.
Type a new name.
Right click in the
blue area, and selecting "Apply Changes."
Adding Pages
It's easy to create new pages and add them to the
navigation bars. You can expand the navigation bars to
accommodate as many pages as you need.
To Add a Page to the Nav Bars:
In
navigation view, select and open a page that exists on the
same level of the chart as the page you wish to add.
Save it as a new
page.
Drag it onto the
Navigation View flow chart.
In the Navigation
View, rename the page to suit your needs.
Customize the content
and save.
Deleting Pages
You can delete a page from your navigation bar without
deleting it from your web by clicking on the page to highlight
it in the Navigation View, pressing the "delete"
button, and selecting "Remove this page from all
navigation bars." To delete the page entirely, select
that option instead.
Changing Graphics
Replace the template graphics with your own graphics
created in a graphics editor such as Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro
etc. We've made it easy to change the graphics on the left
side of the page by providing you with blank graphics. This
allows you to use the same graphics as used on the left but
with your own site or company name, slogan and link names.
Again - you will need to open the blank graphics with a
graphics editor to make the changes.
OR use the Fireworks editable .png files found in the PNGs
folder. If you do not have Fireworks, a free trial copy is
available from Macromedia. With the .png files the color of
the graphics can be easily changed. PNG files should NOT
be published with your website. If you wish to use them,
remove them from the template and store them elsewhere on your
hard drive. If you do not wish to use them, simply delete.
Tip: Give the new graphics the same file names as the original
graphics in the template, letting them override the original
graphics in the images folder. This way they will
automatically fall into place in the template. After the new
graphics are in the images folder, rename the files to make
more sense for your site.
The font used on the images was Impact.
We are also available to modify the company name and button
graphics for a nominal fee. Please contact
us for details.
Include Files
Note that some elements elements that occur on all pages of
this site exist as include pages. You can find these include
pages in the "includes" folder of this web. Here are
the include pages currently in use on this web.
copyright.htm
horizontal_nav.htm
footer.htm
The include pages are inserted into the main pages in order
to allow you to make global changes to your site or change
many pages at the same time. To do this you must right click
on the area you would like to edit. If it is indeed an include
page you will see something like this in the pop up menu:
Open file:
c:\ location and name of include page
Or - you can open the include pages via folders view. Once
the file is open - make the necessary changes and save them.
All pages utilizing the include page should update upon
saving.
Cascading Style Sheets
In folders view, double-click on horizons.css. This will
open the CSS page. The code governing the links in the header,
in the body, and at the bottom of the page will be found
there.
a.small:link
controls the navigation bar in the left column.
a:link
controls the body links.
To change the color of the links - simply make changes to
the html color coding such as #ffffff or #336699. Find the
HTML color code for the color of your choice and insert the
number in place of the existing one.
If you wish to remove the Cascading Style Sheet
properties...simply remove the code calling the sheet in the
head section of the include pages as well as any code
associated with it in the body of the include pages such as <LINK
REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="horizons.css">
</head> and class="small"
