TMPGenc Authoring Works 4 - How do I set the "first button" on a menu?

Apologies if this is obvious, but I've searched the help file and google and I can't seem to find the answer - how do I set a menu link to be the default highlighted item when the DVD loads?

Many thanks!

Thanks thegeeman but that's not what I'm looking for.

That wizard allows you to choose whether you want to load the top menu or the first title when the DVD is loaded. I've already set it to load the top menu when the DVD loads.

There are two links on my menu and one of the links is automatically highlighted (underlined) when the menu loads. I'd prefer the second link to be highlighted (underlined). I need to set the second link as the default highlight.

I'm not sure that you can.

You can change the order of the tracks in the source tab and then physically drag the links/buttons on the Menu page editor screen (provided you're not using a predefined template that's been lock down tight) to their new positions, but otherwise I think you're stuck with the order of buttons that it gives you. I haven't tried this, and it's only just occurred to me, but you might try creating a template with no buttons or items showing and saving it. Then start a new project, use the empty template you've just saved, and turn on the items you want displayed in the order you want them to be chosen. I doubt it will work, but it might be worth a try.

If anyone does know how to specify the default menu item, I'd be interested in knowing too. Also, is there any way to get it to save the Highlight colours when you save a template?
