Using Templates, Clipart & Widgets
Open the ONLINE CONTENT CATALOG from the menu "INSERT" > "FROM CONTENT CATALOG"
(or use "FILE" > "NEW FROM CONTENT CATALOG").
The Catalog shows folders containing collections of website designs and associated
graphic files that each follow a specific theme. Look under "WEBSITES" > "WEBSITE
THEMES" to find all the template designs available for rapidly building a quality website.
Under "WEBSITES" > "BUSINESS THEMES", you’ll find complete, ready-made websites built
for specific types of business, which makes it even quicker to get a finished business site
online.
Each website theme section has a collection of alternative page layouts and useful page
elements. Each also contains a complete website template and several ‘color schemes’.
You can change your entire site to a different color scheme by just importing the scheme
from the Catalog onto your page. As you import schemes and templates to your page

Under COMPONENTS you’ll find a wide variety of graphics and widgets you can add to
your site, from buttons, NavBars and text panels, to forms, e-commerce facilities. Just

DESIGNS GALLERY at the same time.
If you’re online, the Catalog updates automatically to show you the latest available
templates and additions.
