How do I make duplicate copies of a page. I'm trying to ensure that several pages have the same size/shape of inserted pcitures. Is there instead a way to set up a master page that can be duplicated?

Just click "Add Page" and then at the bottom of that dialog it says "Duplicate Page". Check the box and select which page you want to duplicate form.

Pretty easy right? :)

If CC VSD does not have Master Page Capability only duplication capability than does it mean that CC does not intend to introduce Master Page idea because the master page is considered old fassion and there are better ways to do it and/or perhaps the intention is to:

* Utilise Background as much as possible for graphical repetition
* Keep pages unique and things that are usualy Master Page related on other applications are covered by MENU FLASH BUILDER etc.

If however someone wants to use buttons made of graphical objects and there are 10 pages than that means 100x clicking and linking to internal web pages as it seems that Page Duplication does not copy links?

When you copy a page, everything gets copied, including menus and links.
I usually get all my pages set up first, then create the main menu buttons and link them (same for footer links). If all your pages are in place before you do your menu, you only have to make your menu/links one time on one page, then copy/paste the whole menu to each page.

Page Duplication does not copy links?
I must be fortunate as my copy of VSD does. I choose a page to copy and it all is copied from the page I copied from links everything. Any links pointing back work it is the new page that has to be linked to.

Hmm. Yes it does copy links:/ with copy/paste.

The website making is harder than I thought:) Not because I can not make it but because it is incredibly challenging to make it good. And by definition of good I mean perfect balance between too much colour/stuff/junk versa substance and real message and objective you try to achieve.

I LOVE Coffee Cup website. It is gentle, simple, locking people into right spots... Still not too hard on eye with not too many hash strong colours. And it also tends to break space into horizontal portions rather than vertical. Pople scroll and if you smart you make them scrolling...

If you click on my first initial trial (creation) it works but you constantly think is there too much junk? Currently yes...:) as real objective and substance comes later:)

In comparison with current Coffee Cup website what I currently have on my CC trial website is sooooooooo old fassion... :lol:

Less is more I looked at your site and the tables would be better on an information page> You advertising Aussie Homes?. Also look at that statement in bold it needs looking at.

Exactly.
I better take a piece of paper first and map precisely what I want with crystal clarity.

Eric,

The page copying idea can be achieved using server-side dynamic coding. That is, you could write a PHP program to compose a page of whatever pictures and captions are wanted this time, then another page of the same layout but with different items next time. (The items selected for each page would depend upon user input.) The server custom-composes and downloads each page to the client browser on demand.

Don't want to code from scratch? Content management systems (a.k.a. CMS) are designed to do this sort of thing. Certain of these work well with CoffeeCup's tools. Others not so much. Some are freeware / open-source, and some are not. I suggest some background reading into the topic.

Yes, I looked just like that in 1962.
