Getting Started
When you start FrontPage, the first window you see is a FrontPage Explorer
"Getting Started" window:
From here, you can OPEN an existing
web, or CREATE a new one.
For this workshop, we'll be CREATING a new web:
- Select "Create a New FrontPage Web".
- Click OK.
New FrontPage Web
FrontPage will now give you a host of options.
- Customer Support Web generates a web site with initial formatting
designed to provide information about or assistance in using a business product.
- Empty Web allows you to generate a web from scratch. It does not
create even a single blank page for you to work with.
- Personal Web generates a web site with initial formatting
designed for you to fill in to provide particular information about yourself on the web
page.
- Project Web generates a site with initial formatting designed to allow
you to track the status of an ongoing project.
We'll start with the simplest form of web: a web with only a
single blank page. To create this web:
- Select "One Page Web".
- Give a name for the web.
- Specify the desired directory into which you want to save your
web.
- Click OK.
FrontPage now presents the main Explorer window, similar to the one shown in
the brief introduction to the Explorer. Because we only have one page
created, this window isn't terribly useful yet. When we've added links and email address,
this page will present an easily-understood visual overview of your web.
