This template uses a new color palette. If you are starting a new design from this template there is a page in this temp which shows in detail how the colors are organized and what to choose for what areas in your design.

Warning: If you import this color palette into any designs that were built using the last template it will change I suggest that you start using this template when you start a new design.

This new template offers new boxes and buttons that are closer in look and feel to actual HTML. Tabs that also are close used and new artwork in the images pages. These improvements were brought to you by Maggie Law who has taken this template to a new level. Thanks Maggie

Trick: if a group of numbers or a date only show up as a # symbol put a ( ' ) single quote at the beginning of the st characters and they will appear as text and the ' will be invisible. Sometimes when you paste the " ' " will appear, just retype it and it will disappear Save as HTML: A whole worksheet can be saved as an HTML file. It will save all the necessary files needed to build a site using all of the tabbed pages.

The links that have been set up will work but unfortunately the drop down boxes won't.

You don't have to save the page as HTML you can also just open up a file from Explorer and get the Graphics as links: Highlight a graphic and right click on it> Go to Hyperlink> assign a link This will also carry through when a page is converted to HTML

To get a dropdown menu: - Bring up the widgets toolbar via View > Toolbars > Forms. - Click the icon that has the tooltip "Combo Box". - Drag across the cells where you want the dropdown menu. If it doesn't land exactly where you want it, move it - Type the menu values in a column of cells somewhere on your page, and leave a blank cell above the list. - Right-click on the widget, and bring up Format Control. - Go to the Control tab. Click the button next to Input Range. Drag-select your rows with the menu values. Clos - Click the button next to Cell Link. Select the cell above the menu values. Close the little window. - Enter the number of menu values, and check the Shading checkbox. OK. - Use the dropdown to pick the value that you want to have initially displayed. - After you get it working, if you want to select it (e.g., for moving or resizing), click with the right mouse button a (Terry Roberts)

Radio buttons If you put multiple radiobuttons on a page, they all want to act as one big radiobutton group, i.e., turning any o According to the documentation, if you put radiobuttons into a group-box (item #2 in the forms menu), they sh long as you're very careful to get all of the radiobutton widget's area inside the groupbox. The catch is that I d both because excel's box isn't PIA, and because I'm using layout to define my groups and I don't want extra lin groupbox invisible -- it doesn't seem to have controls for what its outlines look like, other than that 3-D control multiple radiobutton groups on a page to operate properly is still a mystery to me.

Changing Row Height You can select non-continuous rows by holding down the Control key. Then you can then change their row he

Tabs with curved edges These new tabs look more realistic but are a little harder to work with. Each tab has a small piece of art on e curve. To move them it is best to capture the tab row it is best to highlight the tab row and the row above it. curser a row above where you want to put it and click paste. Remember to only highlight one cell when past

To delete tabs (as with the straight tabs) you will need to uncheck "merged" cell in "alignment" option befo

To change the width of one of the tabs move the whole row of tabs to the right of your page design far eno Then by clicking at the top where the column labels are you can insert or delete columns. In this way you ca decrease the width of the tab, without having to unmerge the the text and you won't effect the design. Whe size copy and paste it where you want.
