How do I receive and install my theme and template package?

How do I start using my theme and template?

Once installed, open FrontPage and go to File > New > Web.  Select the appropriate web template from the list and give it a name.  FrontPage will handle the rest.  (Back to Top)

Where do I find more information on Style Sheets?

Click on FrontPage Help and type in the keywords Style Sheet.  You can also find lots of online information by typing in CSS tutorials into any search engine.  (Back to Top)

How can I insert my own images and graphics?

Any images that you create outside of FrontPage should be saved in gif or jpeg format and then imported into the images folder of your web.  If you create images within FrontPage such as from the Clip Gallery, save the page.  You will be prompted to save the images.  In the dialog box, you specify the folder to which to save the images.  (Back to Top)

What do I need to publish a site?

Since all web sites have a unique name, you will need a "domain name" which you can purchase by the year.  Next you will need a "web host" who supports the FrontPage server extensions.  You can normally buy server space by the month or by the year.  Some companies even offer free web hosting.  Once those are complete, you can publish your FrontPage web to its new home.  (Back to Top)

Who needs server extensions?

Actually, FrontPage will work quite well without the server extensions.  But in order to use the "publish" feature and any item found within the "components" list such as Table of Contents, Forms, Hit Counter, etc., server extensions are necessary.  If you are using FrontPage, it just makes sense to take advantage of all it has to offer and find a web host who offers and supports these server extensions.  (Back to Top)

How about more bells and whistles?

FrontPage offers a variety of DHTML effects (a combination of HTML, CSS, and java scripting) you can select.  To learn more about it, type in the keywords "DHTML" into the FrontPage help file window.  (Back to Top)

Where can I get more help?

First, take advantage of the FrontPage help files.  They contain information on how to perform most of the tasks available within FrontPage.  Second, buy a book on your FrontPage version.  One of my favorites is FrontPage 2002 for Dummies.  (Laugh!  It's written in plain English and not techno-babble.)  Third, join a FrontPage users group such as those that can be found at Yahoo groups.  And last, be sure to check the Help Center on our site.  (Back to Top)
