Prerequisites Before using the Adobe GoLive 5.0 Classroom in a Book, you should have a working knowledge of your computer and its operating system. Make sure that you know how to use the mouse and standard menus and commands, and also how to open, save, and close files. If you need to review these techniques, seethe printed or online documentation included with your Windows or Mac OS documentation. Installing the program You must purchase the Adobe GoLive software separately. For complete instructions on installing the software, see the Introduction to the Adobe GoLive 5.0 User Guide. Navigation Services The Navigation Services feature changes the appearance and behavior of the Open and Save dialog boxes. This feature is always available at the system level, and can be controlled on an individual application basis. Due to conflicts between Navigation Services and Mac OS 8.6 and earlier, the lessons in this book do not use Navigation Services. Adobe strongly recommends deactivating the Use Navigation Services option. By default, Adobe GoLive does not use Navigation Services. However, if you need to deactivate this option, choose > Edit > Preferences > User Interface > Display, and deselect it.
