You would do that on your own coding setup using the HTML Tool or even just the image tool which I think allows a link? I just got it all reinstalled today, but don't have anything setup yet so can't look at my files yet sorry. If the image insertion tool has a link capability built in try that. You should then be able to put text under or over the images simlar to the ones on that site. If it doesn't have a link setup in the image insertion tool, then you'll need to code it yourself and insert it using the HTML Tool.

I cannot find an image insertion button or tool in CCpro. I see a button for html, tho. Was hoping not to use html. I would think that an add image button would be necessary on any site of this type. I am missing something here?

The editor within Cart Creator is very quirky and takes some getting used to. :)

The less painful way is to design your home page using the excellent HTML editor program, go into code view and copy the code, press the html button in Cart Creator and paste the code into the box. You will still have to add some manual formatting, especially to get objects centralised on your display.

Uh oh, looks like I have to buy another CC program.... :cool:

Edit:
Let me be sure I understand about the HTML program..... You would visually make a page or site WYSIWG. Then you would copy the code into another program? Would this be more advanced than the VSD? Also why can't we get the code from VSD? Couldn't I open a VSD page in Dreamweaver or whatever and copy the code that way?

Dreamweaver cannot open VSD files directly but you can upload them to a server, then use Dreamweaver to open the html file. You can also use Dreaweaver directly to create the html, but its nothing as like as easy as using the HTML editor program, or as quick

You can copy the code generated by vsd into a page on CC's HTML2010 editor and do alterations if you want. I'm not saying it's the best thing to do, I'm just saying you can. You can go the other way also. I had a page of rules for rental that I wanted to move to VSD but didn't want to take the time to retype everything right then. I copied the code made in HTML 2010 into a HTML box on VSD. It Works! As Andy says.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I am able to open a VSD file directly in Dreamweaver that is on my computer. However since using CC programs, I really dislike DW.

Eric says "You can copy the code generated by vsd into a page on CC's HTML2010 editor " etc.... But where do you find the code generated by VSD??? That is the question...

All I can tell you, is that once you use the HTML Editor, you'll be reluctant to ever use Dreamweaver again (or VSD). :)

Download the free trial from this site, take it for a spin and you'll rapidly see what I mean. :cool:

The website pages that VSD generates are what you're looking for to get that code Marilyn. You would need to save your website locally to your own computer somewhere and then go to that directory and open those pages with an HTML Editor.

I don't know how well VSD code works in the SCC programs so I've no idea if that code works or not, but I would think so for the most part.

I wouldn't suggest editing it in the HTML Editor as it's a whole different ballgame of code style than normal HTML Code so if the VSD code works in the SCC programs, go for it in VSD and then get the code from the files yourself by saving the site locally.
