Each page you've created in QuarkXPress appears in the Document Content palette as a separate page icon, named 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.

To create Web pages, place your text, image, and multimedia objects on your QuarkXPress page. BeyondPress will approximate your layout using automatic table creation.

For more information about the Inspector, choose the Layout, Text, Image, or Multimedia chapters in the pop-up menu above (under SELECT A CHAPTER).

To add hypertext links to pages, selected text to be linked and click LinkBtn, or use the Image Inspector's linking tools.
