 Working with Files
(click on the thumbnail to
see a larger image) |
- With FrontPage open,
choose the file you would like to work on. If you have not
imported your files yet, just create a new blank page to
work on for now.
|
 |
- Working with FrontPage
is much like working with Word. There are a few differences
however.
Toward the bottom of your screen you will see icons for
"Design, Split, Code and Preview". Most people will work in
the "Design" view unless you really WANT to learn HTML.
Preview does exactly what is says. It allows you to see the change you make and view things that will not show up in the design view such as
animation.
|
 |
- Go ahead and make the
changes that you want on your page. A template has been
applies that keeps the header and side navigations
consistent throughout the site.
Preview your changes.
|
 |
- When you are ready to
publish your changes to the server: File -->
"Publish Site". If you do not see this, you may have to
click the down arrow at the bottom of the menu. This can
only be done after you have had your sub web set up on the
server. You will receive an e-mail with your server site
location.
|
 |
- You will be prompted
for the server address (which should be filled in if you are
publishing from the same location that you imported the
files), your user name and password.
|
|
|
Another option is to "View"
--> "remote web site". In the lower left hand corner is a
publish changed files option. Or you can right click on the file
and choose "Publish Selected Files". Above that, right below the
tabs is a drop down menu that gives you some options, one being
to just list the files to publish. That way you will not forget
to publish that great graphic you just added to your page.
There are usually at least 3
ways to accomplish the same thing. Obviously these pages reflect
the way I prefer to do things. Feel free to find your own way! |

A few tips: |
- It
is always better to use lowercase file nomenclature
i.e.: 9_6_homework
-
Only use letters and _ (underscore) – no spaces when naming
your files or pages
- If
you add a file, picture or attachment be sure to remember to
publish them also
-
Remember to close out of Front Page when you are finished,
to be sure that you close the connection to the server.
