as you click on each page in the gallery, the document view is scrolled automatically to
show that page.
Pages with different sizes and layers
You can choose whether the pages in your document should be all the same size or not,
and whether or not all pages should have the same layers. See the Document section
(on page 635) on the PAGE SIZE tab of the UTILITIES > OPTIONS dialog or right click a page
and choose "PAGE OPTIONS".
Naming pages
When creating website documents it is important to give each page a name, which is
then used to name the HTML file which is exported for each page. If pages are not
named the exported filenames will be distinguished from each other only by an index
number appended to the filename provided at the time of export. Eg. index.htm,
index_2.htm, index_3.htm, etc. Using page names makes it easier to identify each page.
You can set the name of the current page using the Page tab of the "UTILITIES" > "WEB
PROPERTIES" dialog. Set the PAGE FILENAME field. Or you can use the PAGE & LAYER
GALLERY. Click on a page name to select it, then click again to start editing the page
name.
Even if your document is not to be exported as a website, you may still wish to name
your pages in order to make them easier to find and identify using the Page & Layer
Gallery.
Note that page names are forced to lower case and some characters are disallowed.
These restrictions are intended to minimize the risk of web page filenames causing
problems with some web servers and to eliminate case sensitivity problems when linking
to the web pages.
Page & Layer Gallery
You can also use the PAGE & LAYER GALLERY to conveniently manage the pages in your
document. It allows you to view, add, duplicate, delete, re-order pages all from a single
view. For more information see PAGE & LAYER GALLERY (on page 181).
Saving the document
This section covers saving in Designer Pro’s own format (native format). Refer to
Importing and Exporting (on page 579) for details of exporting in other formats.
