I tried converting the version with the pulldown menu and it appears to work perfectly. The home page has the pull-down menu at the top, with the list of headlines for the particular section underneath. When you click on a headline it goes straight to the text of the story. If you then go "back" you're taken back to the original menu. If you click on the drop down menu and select one of the items, you immediately move to the list of headlines for that section. Works perfectly.

How did I do it?

The important thing is to start by opening the "Index" file from the unzipped folder of files. You use this as your starting page and set a depth of 2.

I'm going to try to attach the pdb file, but last time I tried to attach a file it didn't work, so don't hold your breath! (Incidentally, is there an equivalent idiomatic phrase in French to "don't hold your breath"?)
