• You can edit a Smart ClipArt image from within the Resource Manager. Right-click an image and click Modify. The image will open in the Smart ClipArt Editor. Note that any changes you make to a Smart ClipArt item from within the Resource Manager are permanent. If you do not want to permanently modify a Smart ClipArt image, you can modify a copy of it by right-clicking the image and clicking Modify As New.

Flash Buttons are animated, vector-based images created in Macromedia’s Flash (.swf) format. This tab contains a number of predesigned Flash Buttons meant to be used as buttons and banners.

You can change the text on the image, its hyperlink properties, size, alignment, and background color. Note that any changes you make to a Flash Button from within the Resource Manager are permanent. If you do not want to permanently modify a Flash Button, you can modify a copy of it by right-clicking the image and clicking Modify As New.

Themes are collections of formatting properties and graphical design elements that together form a harmonious visual design. You can apply a theme to a document, a set of documents, or an entire site, instantly changing its look.

• To apply a theme to the current document or site, select it and click Apply. Namo WebEditor will ask you if you want to apply the theme to the current document only, all open documents, all documents in the current site, or the current document and its child documents in the site.
• You can edit the styles and objects of a theme by selecting it and clicking the Theme Properties button. (For more information, see “Editing a theme”.) Note that any changes you make to a theme from within the Resource Manager are permanent. If you do not want to permanently modify a theme, first copy it by dragging it to a different folder in the left pane of the Resource Manager, and then edit the copy.
• To create a new theme from a basic theme template, right-click the category in which you want to put the new theme, and then click New Theme. (For more information, see “Creating a new theme”.)

Another way to insert a template, clip art image, Smart ClipArt image, or Flash Button from the resource library into the current document is by dragging it to the document window. You can also apply a theme by dragging its thumbnail preview to the document window.
