...How do I add a Power Point presentation to my site?
You add them as a link to the Power Point. This means your visitors will click on the link and a new web
page will come up wth the Power Point in it. To do this, add a button or some text to your site to act as the
link. Then simply drag the actual Power Point file from the Windows folder it is in and drop it on the button
or text. That's it, Web Studio takes care of the rest. Note that if the visitor doesn't have the PowerPoint
plug in, your site will offer them the opportunity to download the PowerPoint file to their computer.
...How do I add files from Acrobat (PDF), Word
, Excel , and just about any other file to my site?
You follow the instructions above on how to add a PowerPoint to your site, but drag a different file!
...How do I add a Back button to my site?
It is easy when you know how! Just create a link that has this as its link: javascript:history.go(-1) To do
this, just add a button to your site, then right click on it and choose Add/Edit Link. Enter "Back" as the
Title, enter javascript:history.go(-1) as the URL, enter "Click here to go back" as the Description.
...How do I add a Forward buton to my site?
Do the same thing as adding a Back button, but use (1) instead of (-1).
...How do I add my own link categories to the Links gallery?
MyLinks is a nice tool to have around, but if you create and maintain more than one website you'll want to have a MyLinks for each of your sites. You can add new categories of links by going to the Links gallery, right click on any existing category, choose Add New Link Category from the resulting menu. Type in a name for the category when the dialog comes up and press OK. You'll see the new category added between the Downloads links and the Internet Explorer (or Netscape) links. You may have to scroll the gallery to see the new category.
...How do I delete my own link categories from the Links gallery?
Just right click on the category you want to delete and choose Delete Link Category.
...Can I delete other link categories such as Internet Explorer Favorites, or Downloads, or My Links?
No. But that isn't a bad idea for a new feature, we'll put it on our list.
...How do I add one of the templates from the Web Studio website to my site?
After you've downloaded the template, go to Web Studio, go to the Page Menu, choose Open Page, use the resulting Open dialog to navigate to and open the template. It will be added as a new page to your site.

...How do I change the color of links that are in text?
Just go to the Page Menu and choose the Page Properties command. The properties dialog will come up and at the bottom of the dialog you'll see three buttons you can use to change the color of links. Remember, though, any changes you make will only be visible during preview or on the web!
...I add a link to my text and the text disappears, why?
You must have set your link colors to white. Change them to a very light gray and they won't disappear. And remember, the change will be in preview and the web.
