Transcript Using FrontPage

Using FrontPage
• FrontPage is a great Web editing tool for people
with limited knowledge and time for HTML
coding.
• It’s similar to using Microsoft Word and it allows
for two different editing modes, Normal and
HTML view.
• As you are bolding text and inserting graphics in
Normal view, FP is writing the HTML code for
you.
Using FrontPage
• To help make your pages compatible in most
browsers, change your FP settings by going to:
Go to Tools-->Page Options, Select the Compatibility tab.
Change the settings to this:
Enable only commands supported by the following:
Browsers: Internet Explorer and Navigator
Browser Versions: 4.0 browsers and later
Servers: Custom
UNCHECK Enable with Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions.
Using FrontPage
• One problem with using FrontPage and
Microsoft Word:
– When copying text from a Word document, and pasting into
FrontPage. Word carries over unnecessary HTML code and may
cause problems with your Web page working in non-Microsoft
brand browsers, like Netscape.
• Solutions:
– When copying from Word to FrontPage, Right Click in the area
you want to paste to, then in the pop up window, select Paste
Special, then select Normal Paragraphs with Line Breaks.
– Another option is to paste your text from Word into Notepad,
then copy the text from there and paste into FrontPage. Notepad
will strip out all the bad code and formatting.
