Week 7, October 16 & 18

We will spend three weeks on Tutorial 4, so relax. It is a difficult tutorial, but you will have plenty of time to absorb and practice the concepts. You're ready to start using your "Front Page muscle" and become a power user.

Lesson Plan 

Discuss T3WS, Garden Gill, and FinalHP.

Tutorial 4: Using Shared Borders and Themes, pp. 193-225 of 256

Session 4.1, pp. 193-225

  • Understanding Shared Borders and Link Bars, p. 194
  • Adding Pages to the Site's Navigation Structure, p. 195

p. 195, Step 2. Make sure to close the file to be replaced before importing the page with the same name.

p. 197. If a page has been saved without a title and then dragged into Navigation view, the file name will appear as the button title in navigation view.

  • Creating Shared Borders in a Web Site, p. 199

p. 199. If you add a top shared borders with navigation, a banner with the page title automatically appears. You can edit the banner name, so theoretically, you could have different names for the page title in the browser, the title in the link bar button, the title in the banner, and the file name itself. When you are in Navigation View and right-click a page icon to rename it, you are changing the page Banner name, not necessarily the page title. If a page is brand new, you are also changing the page title only because the page is brand new! The only way to be sure you are changing a page's title is to select the page in the Folder List, right-click, and choose Properties; look in the Title box and that is the page title that will appear in the title bar in the browser.

  • Making changes in Navigation View, p. 209

p. 200, Step 3. When you add navigation to the top shared border, a page banner with the page title is also added by default. You can delete the banner if desired.

p. 213. If Shared Borders is dimmed on the Format menu, do this: Click Tools, Page Options, Authoring tab, and check Shared Borders.

  • Disabling Shared Borders in a Page, p. 215
  • Adding a Link Bar Component to a Page, p. 216
  • Adding a Page Banner to a Page, p. 217
  • Creating a Custom Link Bar, p. 219
