Help! I used the Corporate Presence Wizard to make a web. Now I'm trying to
make the links I want. I want all my five main links to show below the title
on every page, but when I right click and go to "link bar properties" and
then put same level it screws up the whole website. I just want uniformity,
the home tab on top, then my five regulars across the top under the title,
and then on the left side the child links from that particular page... How
can I do this even though I used the wizard?
 
You don't what same level, you want child pages under home

I do want child pages, sorry, I'm a rookie. I want the main tabs to appear
on the top on all pages and the child pages to appear down the side. By main
tabs I mean something like this website...
http://www.cdirad.com/tabid/175/Default.aspx . Is that possible? So no
matter what page I'm on the "Who we are", "What we do" appears?

Thank you

There are three ways to do this:

1) Make all your main pages Global pages in Navigation View. Move the
main pages so that they are alongside the Home Page. The Main Page link
bar should then be set to Global Level, and include the Home Page. The
side menu should be set to Child Level, but this may result in nothing
showing for some pages. You may also need a third Link Bar set to Children
Under Home - but not on the Home Page.

2) Make the main pages Children of the Home Page, and all other pages drop
from these pages. The main links will be Children Under Home, including
Home Page. The side links will be Child Level - but not on the Home Page.

3) The best, but hardest method: Do your own navigation, and don't use
any FrontPage link bars. You get exactly what you want, where you want it.
 
You create your own link bars, either as text or graphics.
As an example of a text link bar:

<ul>
<li><a href="mainpage/about_us.html">About this site</a></li>
<li><a href="mainpage/sitemap.html">Site Map</a></li>
<li><a href="feedback/default.asp">Write to us</a></li>
<li><a href="mainpage/privacy.html">Privacy</a></li>
</ul>

which can be styled with CSS to appear as the left menu in

Ronx, you are fantastic. I made them all global and it worked. Now I have
another question. Since I started with the wizard and used a theme (bold
stripe) the global buttons are horrible and the text in the different
headings overlaps. Can I modify that or would I have to set it to "No Style"
in theme and go from there?

Another question, on the little tabs where it says "Up" can I make that say
something else?

Thanks so much. You are saving my life. I just got a new job and I'm a
business person with no clue about computers!! But Website was my first
task. haha
 
Sorry, Just remembered one more question. When I preview my web with a
browser a couple of the buttons read "service 5" instead of what I saved them
to say. How can I change that if they read in my normal view correctly?
