Shared Borders
The fastest, easiest way
to provide your visitors
with an easily navigated site.
You can access shared borders via Format on the menu bar, then
choosing Shared Borders.

This is the Shared Borders dialog box.

Shared borders are easy to set up and change
any time you wish.
|
- Choose whether you want the shared borders applied to all pages,
or only the current page using the radio buttons at the very top of
the dialog box.
- The view under the radio buttons is a page diagram with shared
borders chosen for all 4 sides of the page.
- Use the check boxes to the right to choose the which shared
borders you want to use. You'll notice the top and left borders
ask if you want to include navigation. (I used the top border to
navigate to the home page and all of the children pages to the
home page. The left border is used for the same level pages.
(You can take a quick look at the Navigation tutorial to see
what is meant about child pages, it's just like a family tree!)

The other fantastic thing about shared borders is if you put it on one page,
it will automatically be there on every page! internal links, external links,
advertisements, courtesy links, your favorite graphic, anything!
After you have created your shared borders, and opened a page, you can decide
which links you want in them. You will see: Comment:
This border appears on all pages of your web. Replace this comment with your own
content. If you right click over the comment in the top or left
borders, (if you chose to use navigation bars in your shared borders) you will
see navigation bar properties. Click on it and you will be able to choose
which pages you want included on that particular bar.

Down here at the bottom (see just above) you choose between Horizontal and
Vertical AND between Buttons and Text links. This graphic was captured from
my left shared borders. You will notice my site has vertical text links, from
the same level in the left border.
