I am using the menu bar action with a seperate table for all of the options. Is there a way of hiding the second table as it is stopping the other items on the page from being seen.
Just push it up into the pasteboard above your page. It won’t be in
your way there. If your pasteboard is too small to hold it, you can
change the size in the preferences.

In Freeway, as in any DTP application, there is a page area where you
place the elements of your design. All around it, set off by a heavy
border and a shadow effect is a blank white area called the
pasteboard. This name is a carry-over from the days when layouts were
done by graphic designers on pieces of heavy paper pinned or taped to
a board – the pasteboard or drawing board. Ah, the smell of an
overheated waxer in the morning…
Anything you place on the pasteboard will publish with the site, but
will not be visible. In the case of your menu bar submenu table, the
Action already takes care of removing it from your layout for you, but
the physical table itself has to exist somewhere in order for you to
edit it. The top is particularly a good place for things you don’t
want to be visible, because no matter how wide a browser window is
made, it can’t look above 0. If you were to place a layered object on
the right-hand side of your page on the pasteboard, someone with a 30"
cinema display would see it anyway unless it was a non-layered object
(Freeway helpfully deletes those when they’re on the pasteboard).

It’s the white area all around your web page and you can set the width
in the Document Setup dialog. Just drag the second table off the web
page area into this.
There’s also a ‘Show’ check box in the Inspector, when you select the
item. Try unchecking this if there’s still a problem.
