Converting layers into layout grids


    You can convert nonoverlapping layers and their contents into objects on a layout grid in a new untitled page. This is useful if you need a table-based design for the page in addition to your DHTML layers-based design. If the layer contains text, it converts into a layout text box on the grid. The position, size, and background color attributes of the layer are retained. GoLive creates a new page to contain the converted objects, keeping the original page of layers intact.

To convert layers into a layout grid:

    In the Layers palette, choose Convert To Layout Grid from the palette menu. (The option is dimmed if any layers are overlapping.)

    The text and image appear in the same positions in the new document.
    The text and image appear in the same positions in the new document.

    TipYou can show or hide the vertical and horizontal grid lines in the layout grid by selecting the layout grid and then selecting or deselecting the Visible options in the Layout Grid Inspector.
