The Next and Previous buttons are linked automatically when the index chapters are generated. The Next and
Previous buttons are hidden on the last and first submenus, respectively. If you do not include Next and Previous
buttons on a menu that results in multiple submenus, Next and Previous buttons are created automatically. You can
later change the appearance of these buttons.
Select a button, then in the Properties panel, choose the appropriate button setting from the Type menu. Repeat
3
for each button in the menu. Encore assigns a special layer name prefix for each type of button. For example, Chapter
buttons have (+#) at the beginning of their layer names. (For more information, see "Layer name prefixes for menus"
on page 98.)
