Worth it is a relative term. How much do you use Photoshop? If it is daily and for your livelihood, then it might be worth it. There are so many advances since 7 that make it much more powerful of an application.

The site is registered to someone from Moscow. I'm not saying that it is illegal, but based off the description, I would have to say you would be buying software with a keygened serial. I wouldnt buy it if you are looking for legal stuff, but thats your decision to make.

Why not just do it all in Access? What is the need for a webpage?

What are they using to check their mail? Its possible their mail app can't read HTML.

I know unix is case sensitive or at least it was the last time I used it.

Looks fine with IE6 too.

So are you trying to put a webpage into the email or do you just want the email to display pictures with content? If it is just pictures with content, If you edit your email using MS Word (Tools --> Options --> Mail format --> check the box that says to edit with MS Word) you can insert tables and text and pictures directly into the email and when it is sent out it will prompt for the downloading of the pictures, etc.
I cannot think of a way to insert a webpage into an outlook email although I can think of a workaround. Do you have MS FrontPage? (I know, I'm not a huge fan of FrontPage either but it works quite well with Outlook) Do you have Dreamweaver set as the default web editor for the computer? I know if you have FrontPage set as the default editor, when you go to put in a signature in Outlook (Tools --> Options --> Mail Format --> Signature) when you are creating a new signature and click the advanced edit button, it will open up the default web editor. You wil essentially be able to create a webpage signature. I do not know whether it will open dreamweaver if that is set as the default editor, but I do know it will open FrontPage and if you dont have frontapge it will defaultly open MS Word. Anyway, give that a shot. If it opens dreamweaver, you can copy and …

Umm I could be wrong, but for xhtml wouldn't he need to put <img src="http:// . . ." align="center" alt=""/>

What program do you use for emailing? If you used Microsoft Outlook by setting the email format as HMTL, you can enter pictures, tables, and everything else you would need to send an email that looks like a brochure. For web based mail you will need to get the POP3 and SMTP addresses to use Otulook to send and receive. That is how I set my father up to send mails like that.

Doubled up letters the way you have it (i.e. FF, FF, and CC) will always be web safe colors. Of course the web safe colors are only as good as the browser/graphic card rendering it. The abilities of the computer when it comes to color are not as worrisome as they were back in the day though.

Apparently the site http://diabetespsychologist.com/
works fine so why not just use the same template and modify the colors. Or are you trying to duplicate what you saw from that template?

Can you provide the url for the page?

More information would help. A link to the page or your code.

What kind of conditions are you talking about? Browser type or whether they have flash player, etc?

Sorry, no help from me, but it works fine in IE6

Why not use a template within Dreamweaver. With that, you make how you want all o fyour pages to look (provided the design is the same). You make an editable region within the templated page that will house your page content. When you update your nav bar, you do it on the template and it will update all of the pages that the template is applied to.

I was under the impression that you can't copyright a design. With CSS and scripts thats a different thing, but if you happen to have the same layout via HTML then that is no problem. Were you thinking of using the same graphics or just a similar idea (as in how their menu bars work etc). I wouldnt recommend copying a design becuase originality is what will help attract attention but it never hurts to see what other people have done to inspire yourself.

I can code things manually and sometimes I do, but usually I'm lazy so I use fireworks and dreamweaver.

Whny not just save the powerpoint as an HTML file and link to it via the webpage. If necessary you can put the ppt.htm in a frame within the page if you want the page design to be visible throughout the presentation.

I teach classes, but they are just 1 day classes that comprise 7 hours of a subject. There are 5 levels of photoshop that each are 7 hours long. For other subjects there might only be 2 or 3 classes. It is in my opinion a better way than a long class. Books are also great but unfortunately there are many books that dont do a good enough job of explaning why certain things do what they do which helps in using the software fully.

You should use actual dreamweaver templates with editable regions. The body text of the pages would go in the editable region and when you update the template that has been applied to normal pages, it will update all of the links. Its fast and easy.

For starters, I wouldn't use frames or flashy buttons, but that is just me.

Why not use the flash button maker within Dreamweaver? That gives you the options for the up over and down states. Or is that what you have already done?

Hate to break it to you but thats just a gradient. Mine isn't quite the same, but its the best I could do in the 5 minutes I spent on this. Just set the 2 colors on your gradient to what you feel is good. I used 89 for the gray and 0 for the black. Dragged from about 3/4s from the top to the bottom within the image. I put in an extra layer to set the harder edge in the middle that I set to 28% opacity. That effect can be done by adding in additional color points within the gradient.

Good luck.

The hit state is invisible on the button. The only visible states are the up, over, and down. As I mentioned, the hit state only specifies the trigger area.

If your button is just going to be words, then you definitely need a hit state because the only clickable part would be the letters. Thats why you put a rectangle in the hit state (yes you have to have a keyframe there). It will make the triggerable area anywhere within the rectangle that was placed in the hit state. That rectangle will not show up at all because it is in the hit state. If you want to see the rectangle when you are holding down the mouse button, you would need to put it in the down frame.

Hope this helps. It is confusing, but once you get it, buttons are easy.

It doesnt work because the hit state is what triggers the button. i.e. You have text that you want to work as a button. If you dont specify a hit state they have to click on one of the letters. The answer is to put a rectangle in the hit state. It does not show, but the person can trigger the actions of the button by moving over where you placed that rectangle.

Up state - how the button looks normally
Over state - how button looks when cursor is hovering over it(over hit state that is)
Down state - how button looks when mouse button is held down (over hit state again)
Hit state - what triggers the button.

good luck.

No offense mreisman, I know you did not put this in the critique page, but get rid of the marquee and the animated gifs. In case you didnt know the marquee tag does not work in Netscape so even if the table and everything else resized, the page wouldn't work as you intended.

If you want your text to look the same in the browsers specifically choose a font type and size. Do not leave it as default default. Doing that leaves the font type and size up to the default font of the browser viewing it.

The reason you dont want to do it as an image is the load time. text will load dramatically faster than an image.

As far as the rivers go, there should not be any when it comes to typing in a web program. The default spacing on the web is 1 space only. If you need more spaces you need the &nbsp; code inserted.

A book series I'm fond of is the Adobe Classroom in a book. They are about $40 written by Adobe. Who would know the program better than them. in addition I think it is well written and easy to understand.

All people are created different. I stress in classes I teach to learn 1 part of a program. make sure you understand it. Go to the book store and read about that portion of the program in the books there. Whichever books makes the most sense to you is the book for you. Don't take other peoples words on whether a book is good. You probably learn differently from them.

Once you have the auto shape on the slide selected, make sure you have the drawing toolbar out. It should appear at the bottom of the screen. If you don't have the drawing toolbar out, choose View --> toolbars --> drawing. The last button on the right of the drawing toolbar is 3d styles. click on that button to see a bunch of 3d styles. There is a text button within the 3d styles button called 3d settings. click on that and you can specify how much you want the 3d object to rotate, whether you want wire frame or a bunch of other settings.

For anyone who said that Powerpoint does not have 3d options, you should not answer when you do not know the program. That has been in the program since at least powerpoint 97.

First, I just have to say it, don't ever use Word for webpages.

2nd, Did you create the flash object? If so then you can just have it export the html like you normally would, then copy everything from <object> to </object> and paste it into where ever you want it within your page. Make sure the path to the flash object is relative and that it point to wherever you uploaded the .swf file.

Do yu have the FTP set to upload only changed files or the whole site?

Sorry this is going to be too late for your project, but if you put the sound in a movie clip symbol, and place the movie clip symbol in a frame on its own layer, it will do what you want. Keep in mind Movie Clip symbols have an independent timeline from the main movie.

Simple solution, why not just choose File --> save as Webpage within PowerPoint and link to the file it creates? Just make sure you upload the folder and htm and it should work. Granted it will not have all of PowerPoint's functionality, but it is fast, easy and no conversion necessary.

Are you using the Automate --> Web Phot Gallery in PS. I assume you are since you said you choose your destination. PS will automatically make an index.htm when you run the web photo gallery tool so you do not want to set your destination in your root directory of your website (or you run into th error you are of overwrtinign your existing index.htm. Instead you should make a folder called gallery off of your root directory and set that as the destination, then within that gallery folder, PS will put in an images folder with the images and thumbnails and an index.htm. Now when you want to set the link to go to that folder, you can just point it to the gallery folder and it should work fine.

For the second part you are saying it is not even showing up the to gallery link you created. If you have it on your page in dreamweaver, and it is not showing up when you try to test it, clear your cache in IE or whatever you use. That might solve that issue.

Don't know if any of this will help, but good luck.

Don't know how well it would work, but I would make a movie symbol of whatever animation you want to happen. Make a button symbol, then set the image as an upstate on the button and for the over state put in the movice clip symbol. Just be sure to put a stop action at the end of the movie clip. That should automatically make it play the animation over the image yet nothing onmouseout.

Nevermind, I got it. :surprised Thank you for all your help

Sub TESTING2()
        Cells.Find(What:=Range("A1"), After:=ActiveCell, LookIn:=xlFormulas, LookAt _
        :=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:= _

Yomet,

Public Sub Test2()
   Dim c

   For Each c In ActiveSheet.Range("A1:J300")
      If c.Value = Range("A1") Then 'This is where your search text goes
         c.Select
         Exit For
      End If
   Next
End Sub

I tried changing what you gave me to make it work by putting in the Range("A1"). The problem is, and I know it is doing what is programmed, It only selects cell A1. What I really want it to do, is search the worksheet based upon the value in cell A1. Cell A1 will change. I made a drop down list in cell A1 and I want the search to find whatever value the user selects from the list.

How do I modify this to make is search based off of cell A1?

Thank you in advance

Paul

Thank you for the replies, I will try them out at work on Monday and let you know how it goes.

Hi all,

I am a beginner at this so sorry for my ignorance.

I'm trying to make a macro that searches an Excel Spread sheet. I plan on using Data validation in cell A1 that the user selects the value they want to see, then I want them to be able to click a button roughly in cell A2 that will initiate the search through that worksheet only. I know how to make the butotn and assign a macro to it, I don't know how to make the macro search off of a value in a cell. The search just needs to take them to the specified location in the worksheet.

I do not know if this will be a difficult task, but all of my searching of google turned up nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
