Hi,
Thanks for contacting us. As to your question:
1. Yes. Please see this topic for more details:

2. Yes. In order for the menu to automatically highlight the selected page, you will need to set these two properties:

Please feel free to reply if you have any additional questions. When you use "Contact Us" form to contact us and select "Other issues", it goes to a sales email address. However due to technical nature of the product, questions can be answered through that email address is very limited. They can answer simple questions (for example, price, license policy, etc). Most questions that involve technical details will be forwarded to tech support staff so it will unnecessarily delay the response. As such I would recommend you to post your question directly at here.
Thanks!
