Mrs WBG here with a simple question.
Need more navigation 'strips' on InstantPro website but placed down the side makes the page look cramped and clumsy,
Is it possible to have a printed panel like wot Freeola's got on the left and,if so, how's it done?
If the above is not an option is it poss to have a second long 'strip' placed above the one already in position? Or at the top of the page?
Thanks in advance!

We have an Adding HTML to InstantPro tutorial, but also a Beginners Guide to HTML, which although is not specific to InstantPro should still provide some good information.

For more in depth tutorials and guides you might want to look at W3Schools or Tizag. Both these sites have masses of information on them.

Good luck!

Thanks-seems just what I want,but I've never used HMTL and feel somewhat intimidated by it. Is there a tutorial on how to use it?

If you use the 'top' navigation on InstantPro then the navigation links will automatically scroll left to right when there are more pages/links than can fit on the navigation bar. They will not be/cannot be added to a second line.

With the side navigation the navigation 'panel' will simply list your pages in the navigation style you have chosen.

You don't need use the navigation bar to link to your pages though. You can simply hide the pages from the navigation bar (on the page manager screen simply untick the 'menu' box) and create links to your other pages directly from the main page content.

For example this site has three pages, but all pages are hidden from the navigation menu and I've added links to the other pages myself.

The downside to this though is that you will have to add the 'navigation' to each page.
