Sounds like you're using frames, is that right? In other words, you
have a column of links on the side, and you want the corresponding
link destinations to open in the main part of your page, right? If
this is the case...don't use frames!!! Frames are the Milli Vanilli,
the "flash-in-the-pan" of web design. Nobody uses 'em anymore. It's so
much simpler to just build straight-up pages, especially if you're new
to Dreamweaver and web design.

As for making a button to go back to the main page, the main page of
your site should be called "index.html," so just make sure your
button's link is pointing to that file. If the page you're linking
from sits in a folder in your website directory, then you'll need to
direct the link up one level by specifying "../" so in other words,
the full link would be "../index.html"

Good luck!
