Fred, I sent this in a u2u, but I decided to also put it here in case someone else may benefit from the answer. 
Fred, on the theme I'm using for our respective church sites, I have a question. Texarkana Reformed Baptist Church » Home
You know how when you create a page, a link is also made available up top...
Is there anyway to create a page under a parent page but that won't show up in the drop down (or the main) menu up top?
For example, I've posted a policy manual (which as of now is available under the "About Us" menu). Instead of having that particular page show up in the drop down or main menu, I'd instead like to have a page that serves as a sort of table of contents, THEN links to the Main Body of the Policy Manual.
Did that make sense?

I answered:
No, I am not suer what you want. Do you want the drop down still to work, but to have:
About Us
|
Table of Contents Page
And then have the policy manual available only on the TOC page?
I don't think I am understanding you.

Okay...I still want a drop down menu at "About Us." I want one of the options to be "Policy Manual." However, on that page I don't want the whole content of the Policy Manual to be there, I want it to simply be a table of contents and then provide a link to the bulk. However, if I create a separate page for that, I don't want it to be a link that's available on the menu bar or under about us. Basically, I want the link to not show on the menu, and only be avalaible from the Policy Manual Table of Contents page.

In other words, I think you got it right in your estimation.

Let's say you have two pages:
1. The ToC of the Manual
2. The manual itself (long text)
Do you want only #1 to show in the drop down under "About Us" ? Or only #2 ? Or both ? Or something else?

Joshua,
Depends on the theme you're using. Some themes allow you to exclude certain pages from appearing in the tabbed browsing. As you add them you go to the theme settings and select the tabs you want to appear.
Also, on the sidebar, the Pages widget allows you to exclude pages by listing the page id's you do not wish to display.

Answer the questions, and I think I can help you here, since it is the same theme that I have.
Also if you create an admin username/password for me and PM it, I can poke around and take care of it.

You can even call that page (and probably should) "Policy Manual" It will still be a ToC. Then create a sub-sub page called something else like "Full Manual." Make it a subpage of "Policy Manual" Then edit "Full Manual" and find the box for "include in navigation" (I think) and make sure it is NOT checked. That should do it.

I could not get the Page status, password, slug, etc on the right to work. Do you know why?
You also ought to incorporate the widgets - this theme works really well with them. That is what I use.
