Hi. I'm brand new to this forum, am a self taught not very experienced web master. I purchased webstyle about a month ago, and have been playiong with it ever since. I'm redoing my web site that has about 70 pages, I use FP 2002, Windows XP, and haven't spent a lot of time learning html. I really liked the cool stuff on the xara web site, and their assurance that even a newbie could use it. I've read every post available here to try and get some answers, BUT...
It just doesn't seem to work right. It crashes pretty regularly. When I try to insert my cool new navbar, about 90% of the time Xara doesn't open the menu where I have the choices I should have to save it to FP - I get into a menu where it wants to overwrite everything I've done, and doesn't insert it into FP. I use a lot of subfolders to organize my pages, and a shared border, and it sounds like I'm going to have problems displaying the nav bar in the border of each page, unless I save it in each subfolder. And where do I save it in each subfolder? There are so many issues listed on this forum with bugs and difficulties and lack of support, and the manual is so bad, I'm wondering if it is worth the trouble to spend the many hours this will take to work through each issue. I've searched for some tutorials that will help with the issues I'm having, and don't see anything that really breaks it down step by step.
I love the look of the cool new navbar, and would like to think it will work. But, I don't have 50 hours to throw away. Is it worth it? And if not, can anyone direct me to a program that will create drop down menus and is truly is friendly for a newcomer to use? Many thanks for any opinions!
