Please someone help. I been trying for the last three nights. I start a business frontpage template. I'm trying to change the text on the buttons. The instruction on the home page as right click on the control set to bring up to the include file. Below is copy of the instruction. Maybe you can figure it out. I can't find the include file.


Changing the Navigation Buttons and Links

The navigation buttons to the left are part of an included file. They are stored in a separate file and are included by this page. The advantage of using included files is that you can change the included file and those changes will be reflected in all of your web pages. If you did not use the include function, then it would be necessary to make the same changes to your navigation buttons in all of the webpages which use them.

You cannot edit these controls directly. Instead, right click on the controls and choose the Edit Include File function. This will bring up the control set in another window. You can then change the controls as you see fit and when you close the control file, all of the pages which use these controls will be updated.

Changing the Text On Buttons

It is easy to customize the text on the buttons to make them more appropriate for your pages. Simply follow these short instructions:

Right click on the control set to bring up the include file in a new window.
Select the button you wish to change by clicking on it with the right mouse button. Make sure you see the red outline around the button indicating it has been selected.
Select Image Text Properties from the menu (or Create Image Text in the case of the blank button).
Change the text, font, size or color and click OK.
Changing Button Spacing

To precisely control the distance between buttons, use the vertical and horizontal spacing options in Image Properties. To edit the image properties of one of the navigation buttons, you must first right click on the control set and choose the Edit Include File function. You can then double click on the button and change the spacing.

If there is an unintended gap between the buttons, try selecting the button as above, and press Shift-Ctrl-M. This toggles between a line break and a new paragraph.

Your include file should be in the same folder as what you're saving the entire project in. I'm not sure what the folder structure is like, but you're probably looking for a .INC file. Do a search to find this file then try to open it in Frontpage.

I'm sorry I believe the template I tried to use is a non front page one. Thanks for you help.
