Try starting over in a blank document with only a few pages and no styling. See if you can get the hang of the way the Action wants you to work. Then apply that learning to your larger site. Try to do almost nothing to the text in the menu box – make all your adjustments with the Link Style segment of the Inspector and the Actions palette controls for the CSS Menu Action.

Thanks, just tried again, the menu is showing, but all wrong.
I selected horizontal for the main menu, and they’ve gone vertical.
It seems to be the opposite of what I’m expecting, the action is applying the subfolder atributes to my main heading and vice versa.
Weird. What could I be doing wrong. I think I might have to see what happens if I put the opposie of what I want!
Hal-le-lu-jah!
It appears you have to double (triple?) click first and select everything in the list, indent, and then select subs together.
Very subtle.
Going to try in my actual site now…
I recognized some subtle comments and opinions here (and in an another list as well). This sucks and sheds a very bad light on an app which isn’t responsible for the inability of its users.

… and some help if you’re really talking about CSS menu:
Hi, I get about the data structure, that’s fine.
I’ve got the menu working now, but, the styling is terrible.
I’m finding whatever selection I make to the main menu, I can’t get the text in the sub menus to align with the text in the main menus.
And the only way I can get the text in the main menu to centre in the boxes is to switch off the content width box, but then one of my headings bounces to 2 lines.
I’ve tried making the box larger, smaller, moving it, left, centre, right aligning, but no luck.
Nearly there though, I guess!

Trial and error, done. changed padding until happy with the look.
Phew. I can’t believe a simple menu bar has taken me all day!
Lucky it’s on the master page so only have to do it once…
Thanks to you both, video from kimmich was really useful too.
Until the next thing, tomorrow probably…
Best
