Introduction

What is FrontPage? FrontPage is authoring and publishing software that makes it easy for you to create and maintain world wide web pages. FrontPage is used in much the same way that you use a word processor: you concentrate on the content of the pages--the text, images, and links you might want--and FrontPage takes care of the computer code necessary to create what you want.

Accessing Microsoft FrontPage2000

From the Start Menu go to Programs. Another menu will pop up, and it is in this new menu that you will find Microsoft FrontPage. The icon for FrontPage looks like this:

Select to launch the application. You can find this same icon on most of our computers down by the start button:




Opening a FrontPage2000 Web

If you are working on a website and want to work on it from FrontPage you can do that by opening up the site directly from FrontPage. Under file menu choose Open Web. In the Folder name field type in your web site (In the form of http://www.yourpage.com). If you have a password and user name for your web site then you will be prompted to enter it.

Writing Text
Adding text to you web page is as simple as putting the cursor at the beginning of the page and starting to type. There are many different tools and options for you to use to make your web page more to your preference.
Menu Bar - (on the very top where it says file:edit: view: insert: etc) this contains all the tools and functions of the program.
Tool Bar -(right below) this contains only some of the tools and functions that the application is capable of. The toolbar buttons make it easier to select tools and perform operations; the purpose of the toolbar is for easy access. The functions of these buttons will appear when you point to them for a few seconds with your mouse arrow.
Format Bar - this bar allows you to change the style of the text layout.
