Have downloaded and installed the new wizard but unable to find the new
page wizard. Is it in the Tabbed Nvaigation page or is it called
something completely different and where do I find the new model file?

Thanks

The latest version of the Page Wizards file is now available. You can
download it from the Page Wizards page of the Xerte Wiki.

This release includes a new Page Wizard - Routed Tabbed Navigation.
Based on the Tabbed Navigation page it offers greater control for
positioning of page items, support for flash paper, and the ability to
define page exits. Each exit takes the name of a page and a description.
This is displayed in the page as a radio button with the description
displayed next to it. Clicking on the radio button takes the user to the
page specified. Example uses for this Page Wizard include chapter
listings (one tab for each chapter, each tab page displaying a list of
pages for that chapter); simple expert systems - ask a question, and
route the user to the appropriate next page based on the response they
select.

A new model file is also available to provide simple navigation to
include equivalents for all the buttons in the default Xerte Navigation
plus a Home button and a LIFO queue based back button. Individual
buttons can be turned on or off by setting their property values to 1 or
0 in the models script. A queue based back button is of more use than
Next and Previous buttons, when all or part of a project do not use a
linear sequence. Again this is can be downloaded from the Page Wizard
page in the Xerte Wiki.

Enjoy,

Kind regards
