HI,
How to import customm J query that I bought on line. They do not have any tutorials how to upload. They charge $60.00 to tell you how to do it. I am a novice. I got a JScript Script File (.js) and CSS Document (.css). Can you help?

You don't import a JQuery script, nor upload one. You add it to the page code just like every other item on the page and you apply the CSS styling just like you would to any other object on the page.
However, in order to use Expression Web, you MUST understand HTML and CSS and how to make sense of the code that drives your site. Expression Web is a professional-level website design tool, so you must first understand the underlying technologies of HTML and CSS (and javascript, etc.)--the basics of website building. You can't remain a novice and use Expression Web.
We don't know anything about the script you bought. The only people who do are the authors. You need to ask them (and pay them for their time, apparently). This isn't an Expression Web question (nor a Dreamweaver question--EW's only competition in this field). It's about basic website building knowledge.
So, you could look in the Learning Resources section of the Forum FAQ and get the training necessary to figure this out by yourself. I'm not sure how other people here feel about spending their time for free answering a question that you just don't feel like paying for. I think I have a good idea, though.

Hi Cheryl,
Thanks for responding. I tried that. However it produces the script in design view and code view. It turns the code to black text? What other info do you need? Got from Pikachoose.
Thanks,
Peter

Let's see... you bought a jQuery widget (plugin... slideshow... whatever), with zero knowledge of HTML, CSS, or javascript, and now you can't figure out how to integrate it into your site. Have you read the documentation that came with it? Anyone marketing such a plugin should have provided sufficient documentation, example code, implementation demos, etc., to be able to demonstrate the use of the product. Hell, even the free plugin creators do that, as can be seen from Innerfade, PrettyPhoto, EasyRotator, and many others. All you have to do is read the docs, choose the example similar to yours, and implement it the same way.
Of course, you can not work in design mode. You must be at least familiar enough with HTML to know where and how to insert the scripts, and if it is like many such jQuery plugins, how to name (usually id) the containing element, and place it in your page structure for display where you want it, none of which can be done in design mode. Oh, and you will probably want to place the link to the provided CSS in the <head> after your external and embedded CSS, just in case the developer hasn't namespaced his selectors. Rare, but it can happen...
That's all we can give you with the information that you have provided.

"You don't import a JQuery script, nor upload one. You add it to the page code just like every other item on the page and you apply the CSS styling just like you would to any other object on the page."
You do it by learning enough about HTML to insert the script where it belongs, and to place the containing element in your source code properly. As Bill stated, EW is a professional tool, and you cannot expect to use it with no knowledge of HTML and CSS. Sorry, but that is just the way it is.

"How do you do this?"
If you understood HTML and CSS you'd know this; this is the most basic knowledge you can have for web design. You apparently don't know this. You have to learn that. Go to the Learning Resources and spend a few hours taking Cheryl's tutorial at by-expression.com and the tutorials at W3schools.
That material is readily available. We cannot sit here and retype it just for you.
I just went to Pikachoose site. The instructions for using it are on the Options menu. Clear as a bell.

This is the place to come for help with EXPRESSION WEB. It is not a private tutorial service in Web Basics 101 nor a source of volunteer labor nor a source of free support for another vendor's products.
You're not trying, man. You're not learning HTML and CSS. Take a breather. Take the tutorials we pointed you to, then come back next week when you understand the basics if you have any questions and can identify a particular issue.
Or pay the poor developer at Pikachoose to integrate it in your site for you.

You drag the two files into your local site in the folder list not onto the page. You can drag the css file onto the page in design view and that will link the stylesheet but you must insert the <script> element properly formatted referencing the js file in code view. That requires you to understand how to insert scripts into a web page.
You then call the script in the HTML as required where you want the script to perform its functions. As Bill and others said this requires you to understand HTML, CSS and Javascript.
Finally, you upload the page, the js file, the css file and anything else the page uses to the web for it to work.

Actually, like many such jQuery plugins, you don't call the script in the spot in the source code where you want it to run. You call it in your $(document).ready() function (often at the bottom of the <head>), specifying the id of the containing element which receives the action of the script. That is what I was describing in this statement...
Of course, you can not work in design mode. You must be at least familiar enough with HTML to know where and how to insert the scripts, and if it is like many such jQuery plugins, how to name (usually id) the containing element, and place it in your page structure for display where you want it, none of which can be done in design mode. [emphasis added]
That is illustrated by the simple instructions provided at the Pickachoose site:
In your document ready statement (see example in downloaded file) run the following function.
$("#divID").PikaChoose({autoPlay:true, transition:[5]});... adding any optional parameters, comma separated, within parens and curly braces, as shown. This very typical of jQuery plugins, and is the way that the three I mentioned earlier work, as well. Some require that the containing element be of a specific type (e.g. InnerFade likes unordered lists), but all that I have used are called in $(document).ready(), and expect the target element as an accessor parameter.
This behavior does differ from what is expected when using standard javascript (instead of the jQuery library), where, as you described, the function would actually be placed in the source code at the location intended (typified by hungrycoyote's eBay Editor Kit script, discussed in a recent thread ;-). jQuery's terrific accessors permit pointing to the element instead, and placing execution itself within $(document).ready(), where it can be assured that the document is in fact ready, something not always certain with standard javascript. ;-)
BTW, the OP appears to have been a bit less than truthful with us when he said that he "bought" this plugin online. This slider is freeware, donations requested; the only thing charged for is installation, and at $60, including integrating a Flickr feed if desired, is a very reasonable option for the clueless. I suppose the idea was to get us to provide consultation for free, in order to avoid paying the developer his due for the same services. Tsk, tsk... ;-)
