Open a FrontPage Web Site for Editing
Open
FrontPage 2003
Select File > Open Site and type in the URL address of your Web site. Make sure that you use the full URL including the http:// when specifying your site.
Enter your Novell/FrontPage username and
password.
Note: ad\ is required before the username if your site is
password protected (e.g. ad\username).
Home
Page
index.htm is your home page. Do not change the name of this page because browsers look for this file by default.
Create a New Page
To add new pages to your Web site, select File > New > Blank Page.
Microsoft Word Content
To import text from a Microsoft Word file (without bringing over formatting that may not display correctly in a Web browser), open up the Word file and copy the text you wish to transfer to the Web page. Switch to FrontPage, select Edit > Paste Special and choose Normal Paragraphs with line breaks.
Create a Hyperlink
To Hyperlink to another Web site, select
Insert > Hyperlink and enter the URL you
want to link to.
You may also hyperlink to other pages within your
own Web site by selecting Insert > Hyperlink
and navigating to the file you wish to hyperlink and
selecting it. Click OK.
Import
Files
Import files such as DOC, JPG, and PDF into your Web site using drag and drop or copy and paste. Click the Web Site tab and then click the Folders button at the bottom to switch to Folders view. Drag and drop the files into your Web site.
Add an Image
To insert an image on a Web page, import the .jpg or .gif into the Web site (see step above). Open the Web page you want to add the image to by double-clicking on it. Select Insert > Picture > From File and navigate to your image (.jpg or .gif). Click Insert.
Next, provide an
Alt text tag for the image. Do
so by right clicking on the image and selecting Picture
Properties... Select the General tab. Add
an equivalent text description for the image into the Text:
area provided. Press OK.
Please remember to add ALT text tags to all images! Blind people and those with low vision often use assistive technologies such as screen readers. Adding an ALT text tag to each image detailing a text equivalent of the image enables a user with a vision disability to understand the information provided. UI Web sites using images should provide equivalent text for images that convey information by using the ALT tag. If an image conveys important information beyond what is in its alternative text, please provide an extended description.
Save
& Preview Web Site
To save your Web page, select File > Save.
To preview the Web site in a Web browser, select
File > Web page Preview.
If you don't see your new edits, be sure your files
are saved in FrontPage and refresh
your browser window. Remember: your browser window
shows you a static view of a Web page and must be
refreshed to force it to show any changes just saved
in FrontPage.
