I am having major issues building a massive site with this program. A former SS user I have stupidly jumped head first into this program using the download only purchase option and am left with what is only a flimsy help file. PLEASE I will pay ANYTHING at this point for a complete manual!!!!!

I get so far and keep running into road blocks. It's so frustrating that every time I try to work on this site it is not long before I am almost in tears due to sheer frustration. It all seems so straightforward but nothing ever does what it appears to say it is going to do. I then end up spending HOURS pouring over the help file, scouring this forum, tutorials, etc. and in the end get little to nothing done but end my day totally stressed out.

I do NOT want to use one of the pre-fab web site templates and am trying to build one from scratch utilizing objects from the design galleries, etc. As an example just now I was attempting to use a text block. Pour through all the choices, even going through the Web design templates to snag one from any of those as I can match colors if needed. Choose one that will expand horizontally and vertically and everything that can go wrong did go wrong. I tried several different text blocks in fact. In the end got one to expand horizontally but it won't expand vertically.

Copy and paste the text and no matter if I choose unformatted or rich text option it wants to strew it out in a straight line rather than formatting it in a paragraph. This is a bunch of text I would rather not have to re-type AGAIN. Tried copying it by single paragraph. Same result. So I vowed the program would NOT win and laboriously sat there hitting enter at each end of sentence so it would word wrap and guess what? When it hit the end of the text block the text spilled over into the page instead of the block expanding!!!!!!!

I give up!!!!!!! I'm going shopping before I throw something through my monitor or scrap everything I've done so far and just do all the updates they wanted done in SS and refund part of their money and chalk this whole mess up to a loss. I've been wrestling with this program for well over a week and besides all the fatal errors and the fact I have uninstalled it and redownloaded it and installed it again (which went fine until I installed the content pack, I had to go to my task bar to close window on the program, and at the end of installation.... FATAL ERROR!!!!!!!) I am at wits end.

I knew there was going to be a learning curve here but a comprehensive help file would be nice!! Scattered tutorials, videos with broken links, etc. are NOT helpful.

If ANYBODY can tell me where I can download or purchase a FULL manual I would be eternally grateful!!! For now I must get off this computer and do something mundane like grocery shopping or something before my head explodes. I'll check in later when I return and my blood pressure has returned to normal. TIA!
