Link a top menu item to a document on another web site.

I have a client who wishes to place "e-brochure" as a top menu item and link direct to a brochure page they have made en.calameo.com/read/0016942991ca0dcbf1ad2
Can this be done? any help on how to do this direct from the menu would be appreciated. They don't want another page/item on the site.
Thanks

Not a problem :)

You could either reduce the logo width and increase the width for navigation on the template settings, or reduce the padding on the nav links themselves. If you wanted to do that you can just remove the padding decalaration in this rule (theme.css line 339):

#nav ul li {
font-size: 1.3em;
line-height: 6.5em;
padding: 0 10px !important;
}

Hi Seth
I have made the padding 1 px but the additional menu item is still underneath the home menu lnk, if I make the logo width smaller will this allow the menu item to flow back up and on the end of the rest of the menu items?
Thanks

Hi

Is the menu bit fixed - my thick glasses may play a part as it seems ok to me :)

Does this help with your menu issue?

#nav.grid_seven {
margin-right: 1%;
width: 58%;
}

Thanks

Hi Paul
Thanks for this, it is what is required I think (checked with firebug) but cant find it in theme.css? is this the correct place to look or do I have to go into the site css files?also the length of the black divider line needs shortening so is this in the same area?
The additional menu item I want to bring up is in the picture area below home. Perhaps this should be a different topic but is there a sensible way of placing a search field perhaps above the menu?
Thanks (wish I new more code :( must try harder:blink: )

Hi there,

actually, I meant to remove the whole of this line:

padding: 0 10px !important;

That gives enough room for the menu items.
