Inserting a navigation bar

When you insert a navigation bar, you name the navigation bar elements and
select images to use for them.

To create a navigation bar:

1

Do one of the following:

•

Choose Insert > Interactive Images > Navigation Bar.

•

In the Common category of the Objects panel, select Insert Navigation Bar.

The Insert Navigation Bar dialog box appears.

2

In the Element Name field, type a name for a navigation bar element—for
example,

Home

.

Each element corresponds to a button with a set of up to four state images.
Element names appear in the Nav Bar Elements list. Use the arrow buttons to
arrange elements in the navigation bar.
