    This is so basic a question it's embarrassing!

    I am new to Actinic and have been web designing in dreamweaver for the last 4 years. Sooo I have always been in control of creating pages within a structure of a site and its links.
    Can I get my head around this? in a word No!
    All I want to do is create a basic new brochure page - call it faq.html and enter some info and link it to the rest of the pages.
    I right click on home page/ click new brochure page/ fill in the title etc and meta keywords. but where do I place the information? It comes up with absolutely no box for text like the other already prepared pages that are already imported. So I really am struggling to get to grips with what seems the most basic of things.
    Sorry if anybody out there feels like throwing me a hook of information I would be very grateful.

    Welcome to the world of Actinic.

    Over the new brochure page right click and select "new fragment" - you can select the type and enter the details there

      I find that brochure fragments are good though because you can write html (tables etc) and place stuff like javascript directly into them as long as you start and end with !!<<....>>!!

        Yep - a fragment is generally just a table or part of a table that sits into the main body of the page - if you are used to editing in DW check out the source code and you will see all the <td> and <tr> tags from the fragment

          Thanks

          Never imagined that the body of the brochure page would be the fragment bit. Its all new to me and quite daunting but now I have bitten the bullet I intend to swallow it and digest.
          Thanks I will continue to the next brain dead moment.
