creating a book

I am not sure how to ask this question, but here it goes. I have noticed in
some websites that they have created books where the pages turn.

I am adding language lessons to my website, but what is going on is the
number of pages I have to add per lesson (about 20 pages), and the person
reading the language lesson would have to scroll to the end of the page.

How can I create each language lesson to turn like it is a "book"? Instead
of scrolling to the bottom of the language lesson?

Can I use the existing pages to create a book? I hope this makes sense, and
I hope I can get some help. Thanks

There are a number of different effects that could be used. Do you have a
sample URL that we could see what you mean?

The software looks lovely but I don't think you can easily link it to your
website.

It seems like if you were to make your pages smaller (so they fit on one
screen per page) and use/put "previous/next" buttons or hyper links at the
bottom of each page you might get something similar to the above flip album.
Your going to run into some kind of plug-in problem on your end-users
browser unless you stick to ordinary html.

FP does have a "gallery" that does images pretty good if you have FPSE.

Does this need to run off a cd or a website?

Thanks,
Tom

Tom:

Thank you for your reply. Yes, the "flip Album" does look nice, and
thinking about using this option did give me some concerns. After
researching "ebooks", in general, the bottom line is the language book(s)
that I will be creating will run off of my website with a "link" on the menu
of the "Home" webpage. The language books are not for sale, and with most of
the ebook sites I looked at, you basically create ebooks to sell.

A little info here, my website was basically created as "FYI" ,so that
Tribal members could contact the right department should they need
information/services. We are basically non-profit. The language books that
I am incorporating into the website are for those that have been following
the Language Lessons that are placed in our monthly newsletter.

What I have done so far, is just what you suggested. I have basically just
placed a "previous" & "next" link on each page in the language lesson on the
website.

I just wanted to get away from having visitors to the website by step having
to scroll to the bottom just to view the Language lesson. Some of these
Language lessons can have up to 30 pages per book. Imagine a visitor having
to scroll down 30 pages just to read the lesson.

One more questions I have for you, maybe its already been answered in the
discussion.

When I preview my webpages in IE, I always get this drop down message--

To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage
from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer.
Click her for options...

How can I "totally" turn this off, so that visitors viewing my website don't
have to keep clicking for an option? What I have also done is re-created my
website, and since I did this... when I preview the whole website I get this
message all the time.

I would appreciate any "Help" with this situation before I actually upload
my updated website.

Again, thank you for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you.

Do you get the ActiveX message when you preview via your live/remote site (http) or just when you
previewing locally via a drive letter? If locally, then it shouldn't be a problem for your visitors
to your live/remote site.

You can setup an "anchor" to a page location and then offer a
hyper-link/button to that location on the page. Furthermore you can setup
these links so they always go to a paticular part of a page....

If this doesn't make sense then perhaps, if possible, we need to look at an
example of the website/book/language in question.

I am confident we can get the navigation setup so that no one has to scroll
down 30 pages to get the bottom page so they can hit the next button.

Hope this helps,
Tom
