Create Navigation Pane Content
The Navigation Pane provides a place to put a rich text formatted panel that explains the use of the current project or page. A Navigation Pane is associated with a single project page.
The content of the Navigation Pane is loaded from a rich text file that is stored with the project. A rich text or RTF file has a suffix of "rtf". Provide a separate content file for each Navigation Pane, or reference the content used for another Navigation Pane.
An RTF file is created using a tool that supports creating rich text files, such as Microsoft Word.
Create the content
Author the content using any tool that supports RTF, such as Microsoft Word.
Use the tool to save the content in RTF format. In Word, for example, from the File menu, select Save As and then specify Rich Text Format (*.rtf) for Save as type.
Note: When inserting images into the content using Microsoft Word they may not appear correctly after being edited or cropped. In this case you should right click on an image and choose 'Format Picture...'. Click the 'Compress...' button and then choose the options to 'Apply to all pictures in document' and 'Delete cropped areas of pictures'.
Load the project and select the page
In ADVIZOR, load the project that is to receive the new navigation content.
Select the appropriate project page.
Configure the page to display the content
From the Author Ribbon, select Page Properties.
Select the Navigation Pane tab.
Select the Display content from a file (RTF) radio button.
Click the Load button, and locate the RTF file that you created.
Click the Open button.
In the RTF content loaded message box, click OK.
Click OK again to close the Page Properties dialog.
The new content is displayed in the Navigation Pane.
Note
Support for Navigation content previously created in the MHTML format is being discontinued. Content in the MHTML format will continue to be be displayed in the desktop clients, however that format cannot be displayed when published to AE Server and viewed with the web client. To convert any existing MHTML Navigation content to the RTF format you may either reload the content after it has been converted in your authoring tool (Save to RTF format in place of the MHTML format) or you may convert the content by displaying it in the desktop client, right click within the content area and choose 'Select All', then right click in the content and choose 'Copy'. Open your authoring tool and paste the content, then Save To the RTF format. The newly formatted content may then be loaded into the project as explained above.
