Despite
much of the flak that it takes from "purists," Microsoft's FrontPage
2000 is a useful tool for beginners and advanced designers alike. Before moving
on to examples of just what FrontPage can do, I think that it's important to have
a working knowledge of the program's interface.
There are three
main components of the FrontPage interface. They are the Views window, the Page
tabs, and the menus and toolbars. The Views window allows you to choose between
the 6 major FrontPage views: Page, Folders, Reports, Navigation, Hyperlinks, and
Tasks. The Page tabs allow you to toggle between Normal What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get
(WYSIWYG), HTML, and Preview modes. The toolbars and menus let you manipulate
objects and manage documents.
