I am not sure what you have been doing here, but you seem to have
created a Master Page for each page of your site. That is not the
purpose of the Master Page. The Master page is where you place the
base elements that you want to see on every page. The documents pages
are where you add the variable content. Changing a Master Page will
only change the “fixed” elements.
Also, if you change one or more of the Master Page elements while you
are on a document page, it will only affect that page, which may not
then accept further changes made on the Master Page or may result in a
double item masking the change. Think of it as the Master Page
providing the framework and use the document page to fill in the
changeable/variable details on each one.
For a web site to be consistent in its appearance, use as few Master
Pages as possible - in your case maybe just one for descriptive,
general content and one for a tightly packed, tabular inventory. Or,
you could even use just one master that fits all - we would have to
see what you are doing on the new site to advise more.
You choose (or create) a site folder by going to the “File” menu,
clicking on “Document Setup…” and selecting the “Document” tab.
Click the “Select…” button and make a new folder with a site name of
your choice. Each time you publish (including Previewing), Freeway
will put all the necessary files for uploading in this site folder.
Uploading from Freeway then puts all the published files on your server.
(NB The Freeway document file you save on your computer just holds all
the original work and instructions necessary to produce the published
web site. It is only when the site is published the the source code
that browsers read is produced).
I hope that helps - perhaps one of the more expert Forum members may
like to chip in, too?
