Create your button image...you can use an image editor or you can find a zillion free ones on the net...I've even seen sites that will create button images on the fly for free.

With your FP web opened:
Import your button image into FP.
Place the image on the page where you want it to be.
Select the image, right click, choose Hyperlink...set the properties to point to the file you want people to download.
Save Page.
Publish.

Easy. Follow these steps.

--------
STEP ONE
--------

Add the following style to the header of your HTML document:

<STYLE>
a.button:link, a.button:visited, a.button:hover
{
text-decoration:none; font-variant: small-caps; border-style: outset;
border-width: 2; padding-left: 2; padding-right: 2; padding-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 0; background-color: #C0C0C0
}
a.button:active, a.button:focus
{
text-decoration:none; font-variant: small-caps; border-style: inset;
border-width: 2; padding-left: 2; padding-right: 2; padding-top: 0;
padding-bottom: 0; background-color: #C0C0C0
}
</STYLE>

--------
STEP TWO
--------

Create a hyperlink like this (assuming the file they are downloading is
called "myFile.pdf"

<A HREF="myFile.pdf" CLASS="button">DOWNLOAD</A>


--------
OPTIONAL
--------

If you want button behavior like having button pop up after click, add
JavaScript to blur focus to the on mouse off or after click event(s).

Hope that helps.
