To preview your website in your favorite web browser, click one of the following from the
bar at the top of the preview window:

Note: These buttons are only enabled if you have installed the browsers on your PC.

Previews your page or website in Google Chrome

Previews your page or website in Mozilla Firefox

Previews your page or website in Internet Explorer

Previews your page or website in Opera

Previews your page or website in Safari

Previews your page or website in MS Edge (Windows 10 only)

When you click on one of the above buttons, the browser opens in the page that you are
currently viewing in the preview window.

If you want to preview your pages in a browser other than these types, you can right click
on the exported .htm file and select OPEN WITH..., or you can just drag and drop the file
onto an open browser window. Once you have exported then each time you click the
Preview buttons, the export is updated as well, and so it's just necessary to click the
Reload button in your browser (or press "F5").

Exporting a Website

To save your website, that is the HTML and associated files for publishing to
the web, use "FILE" > "EXPORT WEBSITE" or click this button on the top bar.

This saves a .htm file for each page and a folder alongside these which contains all the
graphic files that make up your website.

When you export a website, all the pages are exported together, and each page has _1,
_2 ... appended to the end of the name you give when you export. The _FILES folder
contains all the graphics and other files that go to make up your website. You can name
each page individually if you wish using the PAGE tab of the WEB PROPERTIES dialog, or
using the Page & Layer Gallery.
