Upgraded my Corel again to start a new set of projects, bought the pro version, which came with the Website Creator. Since I also had three new websites to design (I've been using other tools and mostly hand HTML/Java coding), I thought I'd try the Website Creator. It IS fast, once you have "broken the code" and learned how to use many features that are not documented or documented badly in the Help system and 1000+-page manual.
So I like decide I like some of the automation features, and go to work in earnest, starting three sites and getting one pretty close to prime time - then I notice a big snag.
After making about a thousand tweaks and writing ten complex pages, I did a Publish to local, only to discover that the heading is now a separate from from the body of the document, and my flyouts submenus no longer show up because they drop below the lower part of the frame. Is there a way to go back to the layout region/non-frame version?
Also, the flyouts now use the primary button set instead of the secondary button set, so the buttons aren't big enough to hold the full name of the linked pages.
I COULD go back several versions and work my way forward again, but I'd rather not.
Thanks - Paul
Okay, I figured the frame problem out. Must have accidentally clicked a frame button on the masterborder properties frames page. Still can't figure out why my flyout submenus are using the primary button text instead of the secondary button text.
Thank, Paul

You can use custom button names (if you are not already doing that). http://www.gotfusion.com/tutorials/tut.cfm?itemID=242#custom
You can put your names on 2 lines by pressing the enter key for 2 lines
You apply the secondary button graphic by highlighting all of the pages then selecting the other graphic from the dropdown in the Button Styles section. http://www.gotfusion.com/tutorials/tut.cfm?itemID=4074
Thanks, Turtle.
I didn't need custom buttons names, but your second suggestion got me to go back to the Button Styles section of the Navigator page and try again. I had used this feature before but incorrectly. The flyout submenus are working correctly now. Thanks,
Paul
