If you have a site with us already and want to begin using FrontPage for the
first time, you can install the FrontPage extensions at any time by using your
site's control panel.
If you want to publish your site using FrontPage and already have the FrontPage
extensions installed on your site then please see below.
FrontPage is comprehensive site creation & management
software with many useful features not found in similar products. FrontPage
consists of the Explorer, a graphical site management tool comfortably similar
to the Windows Explorer, and the Editor, a powerful WYSIWYG and HTML page
creation tool.
The FrontPage Explorer provides excellent features that
take the difficulty out of managing a web site, such as automatically updating
hyperlinks when file names or paths change. Multiple views allow the user to
analyze how their hyperlinks are intertwined, as well as easily fix broken ones.
A powerful Find command makes it easy to update content across all the site's
pages.
The FrontPage Editor makes it possible for novices to
create web pages using the graphical WYSIWYG interface (it isn't necessary to
know HTML!). Power users will find the ability to edit their HTML directly,
right along side with the graphical interface.
Rounding out the package are Webbots, plug-and-play
software components that provide essential web functions, like a search engine,
hit counters, discussion group Themes provide an instant, consistent graphical
design scheme across a web site.
