Use this option to add pages to the project. Give a name to the future page and then proceed as you did for the first page. The procedure for each new page is the same as for the first page.

With this option, you can create links to existing pages when editing your project. The Web Creator files associated with these pages have the *.pag suffix. This same option can be used to create links to programs (.EXE, .COM) or files. When your visitor activates a link to a program or a file, it will open in a window over the current application, provided the program is on the user’s computer. In the case of a Website, programs and files are downloaded before opening.

 

Tip: If you want a file to be downloaded by the user rather than displayed by the browser, you can zip the file and make a link to the zipped file.

This option is used to create links to Web or FTP sites. When you enter the address of a Web site, such as http://www.site.com, you can preview it in the Preview in Internet Explorer Window by clicking on the element.

It is also possible to open the link in a new browser window. That is, the Web site will be displayed in a different window. You may specify not only the dimensions of this new browser window, but also all of the tool bar elements listed above. This new browser window is independent of the main browser window. The user will have to close this browser window manually.

Enter the email address where visitors can send an email. When your visitor clicks on the element, their email program will start with your address already in place.
