Liquid DVD Menu prob re multiple pages

Hi folks,
I'd very much appreciate a solution to a problem that's driving me up the wall. I'm using Liquid 7, and am transferring some old video to DVD.
The DVD I'm creating right now requires 10 chapter links. I want this to take the form of 3 menu screens with 4 links on the first two pages and 2 links on the last.
So far so good, I think I've figured that out.
BUT. In each of the (single page) DVD menus I've created so far, above the text describing each chapter is a thumbnail of a screenshot of that particular chapter..so "Picnic in '89" is below a picture of the kids having a sandwich, "BBQ at Mums" is beneath a picture a burger and a sausage..you get the idea.
However, I have found that when I do this with the multiple pages, EACH PAGE is showing the exact same pics that I entered on the first menu page, only above the different text for the different page!
How can I work around this? I simply want a three page menu with text buttons describing what's on in the chapter, with a wee picture reflecting that.

Normally, when you have picture buttons, Liquid selects the frame where the link is to create the button picture. You can change that in the DVD editor. Is this a custom menu you made? You might want to play with a prebuilt menu to see if you can get that to work and then look at how that menu is built in the menu editor. There are two things you need for multipage menus to work correctly. First is linked text and not text hard coded into the menu for the chapters and second, the text below the button and the button itself must be grouped together.
Again, look at how one of the supplied menus is built. The correspondence menu is a good example of how to do it with three buttons.
