FrontPage Tips and Tricks
This is the area that we will try to provide you with FrontPage Tips and Tricks that we have gleaned from various sources. Many of the items we place here will have been learned the hard way from working with FrontPage 98 and FrontPage 2000.
FrontPage Annoyance #1: FrontPage is a great tool, but it does have some quirks that would tend to drive you crazy----Typical Microsoft product.
The one thing that drives me crazy about FrontPage is that it is supposed to be a WYSIWYG editor. I stated using FrontPage 2 years ago and am presently using FrontPage 2000. The product, while good, still has a bug that gives you a incorrect image from WYSIWYG. What I mean specifically is that you can print an image that you think is OK only to have errors in the print image. To get around this, I use the "Preview in Browser" function in FrontPage to check my work as I go along. If I print the browser image I get the real WYSIWYG image and that is what I am after anyway.
Where Are the Themes ? FrontPage 2000 is supposed to come with 60 themes, however the default installed number is 13. To install the rest, click on "Install Additional Themes" at the top of the list of themes. A confirmation dialog box will come up and then the Windows Installer will launch. Have you CD ready and be sure that you have 1280K of free disk space available.
Changing the Navigation Tree: If you have
a large website you have probably noticed that your Navigation Tree more than
fills up the space allocated for it in "Navigation View". To get
around this:
1) Right click on
any open area and select Size To Fit from the shortcut menu.
2) In FrontPage 2000 Navigation View, right click any open
area and choose Zoom, Size To Fit from the shortcut menu.
3) Also in the shortcut menu choose Rotate to rotate
the Tree 90 degrees. Often the tree will fit in this view because of the aspect
ratio.
FrontPage Annoyance #2: Front page doesn't automatically update itself when you have recently added file to a FrontPage Web. When you look in the Web directories No New File!! To get FrontPage to recognize the file, switch to Folders View then choose Refresh from the View menu. Magically the imported files will appear--- aah Microsoft!!
Have you ever LOST your changes to a web page because you didn't SAVE your work on a particular page ? Maddening is it not? Now you can get a FREE ad-in that auto-saves your hard work. Go to http://web.noval.net/webbink/Default.htm and don't miss their other ad-ins because they are FREE too.
Hiding Pages from Search Results. FrontPage's Search Form component makes it very easy to add a search engine to your website, but what it doesn't do is allow you to control which parts of the site will be searched. If you have pages that you do not want included in a search you can move them into the _private folder or you can create another folder whose name begins with an underscore and put them there.
