Using an Existing Site to Expand a Site
1. In Site view, select the page you want to use as the parent of the imported
content.
2. From the File menu, choose Import>website.
3. Follow the steps in “Creating a New Site from an Existing Site” on page 84.
When you use a site to expand a site, you can also select a MasterBorder for the
imported section. From the Assign MasterBorder drop-down list, select the
MasterBorder you want to apply to the imported site or section.
Importing a Microsoft Office Document
If Word 97, Word 2000, or Word version 2002 is installed on your system, you can
import documents in Microsoft Word, Word for Macintosh, and .rtf formats.
When you import a Microsoft Office document, the imported document becomes a
page in your NetObjects Fusion site. Once imported, you can change the design and
layout of the page in NetObjects Fusion. In this method of importing, there is no
connection between the new pages and the original document. If you update the
document, there is no corresponding change in the content of the NetObjects
Fusion pages.
If you are going to import a very long document, for example a 40-page report, it is
a good idea to split it into smaller documents to ensure that you do not exceed the
NetObjects Fusion limit for a Layout.
If it is important for you to maintain a link to the original document, you can
publish an HTML version of the document at the time you publish the site. See
“Creating a File Link” on page 455.
1. In Site view, select the page you want to use as the parent of the imported
document.
2. From the File menu, choose Import>Document.
The Import Document dialog appears.
