Linking page problems Help please.

I have a menu that has 18 different pages to link to.Under each page there are 4-5 other buttons to link to other pages associated with these.
My problem is this. On my main page. I click on button and it goes to the proper page. But I need it to go to the first button on the list. Not to the return button automatically. I cannot seem to find a way to tell the main page to go to the first buttons on the next pages.
I hope this makes sense.
Example:
Main menu =Accomodations/ rentals/ florists as buttons > Holiday Inn button, Howard Johnson button, return to Main menu > all link to their pages.
I need to click on accomodations button then take me to the page that has the Holiday Inn and Howard johnson buttons but have the top most button be highlighted everytime rather than the bottom return button.

For DVDA3 - Select the button in the parent menu, click on the action button in the properties panel (on the right hand side of the display). Select "destination button" and using the drop down specify the button that you want to have initially selected in the sub menu.

For DVDA2, select the button in the parent menu. On the right hand properties pane, expand the "button properties" section. Again, using the drop down in the destination button field specify the button you want initially selected.

By default, the "first" button on a menu page is the first one you created. When you add a page to a menu, the "back to previous menu" button is created automatically, therefor it will be the 'first" button by default. Navigation for the rest of the buttons will be according to their placement.

To change the "first" button, go to the Project Overview window, find the item you want to be "first" and drag it to the top of that that menu's list (within the Project Overview window). You can edit all the menus right there in the Project Overview window without havigating between them in the main workspace.
