<div>OK Deborah,<br></div><div><br></div><div>It's interesting when you write a set of instructions that some times the message you seek to convey is not always the one that is received :-) </div><div><br></div><div>Let me take you through using a page wizard and hopefully explain at the same time why things are not currently working out for you.</div>
<div><br></div><div>1. Installing the page wizards - I am not sure from the picture you have enclosed that they have been installed in the correct place, so let's just check. After you unzip the page wizard download you need to place the page wizard folders in the wizard folder of your xerte installation, usually this is c:\program files\xerte\wizards\ </div>
<div><br></div><div>so in this folder you would have new folders a) Text, b) Media etc.</div><div><br></div><div>You can check if the wizards are installed correctly by opening Xerte and then pointing at the Templates menu. If the wizards are installed correctly you should see the folders listed in the drop down menu.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. Using the page wizards - first use Windows Explorer or My Computer to create a folder for your new project. Then in that folder create a folder called "Pages". </div><div><br></div><div>Now open xerte and create a new project by using Project / New, create the project in the project folder you just created.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To create a page using a Page Wizard select the project's interface icon. With the projects interface icon as the current icon click on the Templates menu, point at one of the page wizard menus and then click on one of the page wizards. When the Browse for computer dialogue opens scroll down to your project folder (it should be highlighted), expand the folder and click on the Pages folder. Now with the pages folder selected click on the "Create new folder" button. Create a folder with a name relevant to the page you are creating e.g. TitlePage - then click OK.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You can open the wizard when prompted, personally I don't as I like to change the name and add a title before I open the wizard by Double clicking on the page icon.</div><div><br></div><div>The reason your wizard does not open is that the templateData path is incorrect. This value should be set by xerte automatically when you follow the above procedure and you should never need to change it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Give that a try and let me know how you get on.</div><div><br></div><div>Kind regards</div><div><br></div><div>Johnathan</div><div><br></div><div>This should create the folder</div><br><div class="gmail_quote">
