Microsoft FrontPage is a simple program to use. It is a great way to build your website. You don’t have to be a web designer or guru in order to achieve success with FrontPage. If you know how to use other Microsoft programs such as Microsoft Word then you have the skills necessary to use FrontPage.


Let’s take a look at some easy-to-use tips for Microsoft FrontPage. First, there are two things you need to be aware of when you use FrontPage. The first thing you need to know is when in doubt right click with your mouse. Let’s say you don’t know how to modify a specific area of your website in FrontPage. Right clicking with your mouse will give you a drop down box of potential actions you can take to modify this area. In other words, FrontPage will help guide you to your final goal for the task at hand.


The second thing you need to know has to deal with formatting. If you push “enter” then FrontPage puts in a double space. This can be frustrating because you will have large gaps between text lines. Instead, you should use “shift-enter’ to avoid double spacing. Shift-enter will provide a more compact format of your lines of text.


Let’s take a closer look at some of the tools available in FrontPage. It is helpful to understand the purpose of these tools so you can easily navigate and use FrontPage.


FrontPage Tool #1: Design mode: This is the mode you want to use when you are building your website. You work in this page exactly like you would in Microsoft Word. You don’t have to worry about html code. You will be in the design mode 99% of the time.


FrontPage Tool #2: Preview: This option allows you to see what your website will look like on the Internet.


FrontPage Tool #3: Formatting: Highlighting, bold, italics, etc. work the same way as they do in Microsoft Word.


FrontPage Tool #4: Split mode: This view shows the code and design views together. Don’t use this view as it is confusing.


FrontPage Tool #5: Code mode: Pure html code. You will rarely use this view unless you want to write html.


FrontPage Tool #6: Importing a website layout: You can import website layout designs that have already been made. For example, you want to import a website layout design named index.html. You can import this file and then tweak it to fit your own website.
