4. Footer navigation - This navigation is an Include file (footer.htm in the includes folder). To modify the links or link names, open the footer.htm file and modify. When you save the changes, all pages that use the footer file will be updated.
5. Static navigation - The left hand navigation on this page (Installation, General, Company Name, etc.) has been created as bookmarks to link within this page. Because it is only used on this page, it does not use or need either FrontPage navigation or include files. It uses bookmarks to link down. Additionally, it is placed in the left nav to maintain a consist site look.

This templates uses CSS extensively. The style sheets basically control the font type (Verdana, Arial ...), size, and hyperlink rollovers. If you would like to change any of these attributes. Double click the css file that resides in the includes folder and modify the attributes that you want to change. Here are some examples.

change the font color by changing the hex code #990000 to #330000
change the font size by changing the 12px to14px
change the font type by changing the Verdana, Arial...
change the rollover links by changing text-decoration to none or underline

Once saved, all changes will effect all pages that are linked to the Style Sheet. By default, every page that is including in the web template is linked. This is another reason to use existing pages to Copy or Save as for new page creation.
