2. FrontPage Interface Tour
*The images on this page may take a while to load. Please be patient!
The diagrams below show you the FrontPage interface when you have a
web open. (FrontPage 2000 users: scroll down!)
Tip! Please note that there is a difference between the
Folder List (the panel that lists the files in your site - see
diagram and Folders View (the view that will also show you the
files in your site when you click on the Folders icon in the Views Bar).
Folders View shows you additional details, like the Page Title, date
modified, size, and more.

The Views Bar
Switching Views is easy when you use the Views bar (on
the left). Just click on the icon that you want to use. Or you
can also use the View menu on the menubar.
|
Page View is where you edit your pages. Within
Page View are three tabs (at the bottom of the screen).
Normal allows you to edit pages in WYSIWYG*
fashion. You can edit the HTML code directly using the
HTML tab, and you can preview your page (as it
will look in Internet Explorer) in Preview. (If
you use Frames, you'll have two more tabs: No Frames
and Frames Page HTML.) |
|
Folders View allows you to see your files in a
folder list and to work with them as you would in
Windows Explorer. You may change Page titles here. |
|
Reports View generates different reports which
you may find helpful. For example, if you want to check
your hyperlinks for broken links, you may generate a
Broken Hyperlinks report. |
|
Navigation View is where you may see and change
your web structure. To add your pages to the web, drag
them into the Navigation View from the Folder List. Page
labels are what will show on navigation buttons. Go to
the Navigation View tutorial to find
out more about using Navigation View. |
|
Hyperlinks View allows you to see all the
hyperlinks leading to and from a page. Select one of the
pages in the folder list to view the hyperlinks. |
|
Tasks View is helpful when you are maintaining a
web. You may create different tasks and assign them to
different people or workgroups to work on. |
