Working with frequently used objects

Adobe GoLive makes it easy for you to place frequently used objects throughout your Web site. After creating the objects that you want to reuse, you can drag the objects to the Custom tab of the Objects palette. To place the objects again on the same Web page or another page, you can drag a thumbnail representation of the objects from the Objects palette to your document window. Examples of objects that you can drag to the Custom tab of the Objects palette are layout text boxes, tables, and images.

Using the Custom tab of the Objects palette to place frequently used objects, you can freely edit the objects on any page without affecting the objects on other pages. If you prefer to edit the objects only once and have Adobe GoLive automatically update all instances of the objects in your Web site, you should use components instead. For more information on components, see Using GoLive components.

To store and place frequently used objects:

1 Choose Window > Objects.

2 In the Objects palette, click the Custom tab ().

3 In your document window, click to select the objects that you want to store. (To select multiple objects, click to select the first object, and then Shift-click to select each additional object.)

4 Drag the selected objects from the document window to the Objects palette.

5 To name the selected objects, double-click the thumbnail representation of the objects in the Objects palette. In the Palette Item Editor, enter a name and click OK.

The name of the objects appears in the Objects palette.

6 To place the selected objects in the same document or another document, drag the thumbnail representation of the objects from the Objects palette to your document window.

7 To delete the objects from the Custom tab, select the thumbnail representation of the objects, and press Delete.
