How do I manage FrontPage?

  1. The Folder List: The folder list appears on the left side of your FrontPage screen. It shows all the files and folders in your website. If you cannot see a folder list, try selecting it from the View menu menu or click Alt-F1. If you still cannot see it, you probably are not actually connected to your website.
  2. Website, Open Page and Current Page Tabs: Located along the top of the main editing or folder view of FrontPage, Open Page tabs show you which pages you have open for editing, the Current Page tab shows you the page currently being edited.

  1. The Website Tab (Above): opens another tab bar at the bottom of  the FrontPage page editing window. It is for controlling your entire site.
  2. Folders View: This view shows the actual files and folders of your web site. Tip: This is the best place to delete batches of files.
  3. Remote Web site: Allows you to publish your site to a remote location or on your hard drive.
  4. Reports View: This selection allows you to create reports, which analyze your web site. 
  5. Navigation View: This is a visual technique for creating and viewing the logical, hierarchical structure for your web site. By combining the power of shared borders* and navigation bars (see below), the navigation structure is automatically created for you!
  6. Hyper Links View: Hyperlinks view presents a visual "map" of the hyperlinks to and from any page in your web. On the Views bar, click the Hyperlinks icon to switch to Hyperlinks view, and then in the Folder List, click the page you want to analyze.
  7. Tasks View: This view is designed to help you maintain your site by adding tasks to complete in the future. This can come in handy if you are sharing your web with an assistant or associate who could complete future tasks on your web in your absence.
