VSD and CSS

HI,
If I select a template from within VSD it places the CSS code on the first page. If I create a second third and fourth page does the software automatically create what is required, or do I have to do something with all the other pages.

VSD will include what is needful on each page. All you need to do is make sure you "add files" if there are external files needed for a given page. A lot of other CC applications create an XML file when you save the work (such as the form builder or jukebox). When you use the Flash import tool and select that XML then VSD does all the file adding for you.

Just inserting graphics into a page will cause those images to be auto-added, you don't need to do it manually.

Thanks for your reply. If I was to use Coffee cup HTML editor, how do I use the CSS for page one on all my other pages.

You would build an external CSS style sheet and then in each page there's a clause for linking to it. If you get even a little bit into learning CSS the method for doing that will be one of the first things covered.

I personally bought a couple of textbooks on the topic. You could try this one:

Clarification, though...you cannot edit the VSD pages with HTML Editor...they are two distinctly different ways of doing things...or did I misunderstand...?

I got the impression he was pondering moving from VSD over to the Editor in order to gain more control...maybe I misunderstood.
