Some knowlege of web design is necessary. Open Adobe Dreamweaver CS3. Create a new .html document by selecting "File" and "New." Place your cursor after the "<head>" tag in your document. Select "Insert" and then "Spry Menu Bar." Choose between horizontal or vertical.
Rename

The target attribute specifies where to open a linked page: in a new window, in the same window or within a frameset. Open the "Property" inspector. Select "Item 1" in the first column. Rename the text by clicking in the field, then backspacing and typing in the title of your choice in the "Text" field. Rename, add or delete additional field titles. You can also link the navigation bar, title the items or add a target attribute.

Sub-menus

Sub-menus open when the main text is clicked. Rename the sub-menu title fields. Delete items by using the "Backspace" key. Click the "Plus" symbol to add new menu items. You can rename fields by clicking in the design panel. Choose "File" and then "Save."
CSS
-
"Preview in Browser" will allow you to view your page before publishing. Select "Preview in Browser" in the "File" menu. You may go back into Dreamweaver and change the colors, text styles and other cascading style sheet (CSS) elements.
