1.Insert Table
Inserting a Table with the Toolbar
The Standard toolbar sports a fast and convenient feature that lets you insert a
table and set its basic layout all in one step. Place your cursor wherever you want
the table to appear and click the Insert Table button. A small table menu appears, as
illustrated in Figure 5-2.
Figure 5-2. When you click the Insert Table button on the Standard toolbar, this grid
appears. Use it to select the basic table layout you want.
Once you're looking at the table menu, you can do one of the following things:
Pass your cursor over the grid to select the number of columns and rows you want.
Keeping your mouse button depressed, drag across the grid to select the desired
number of columns and rows. This option gives you the power to expand the grid, if
you need to create a larger table than the one that you first see.
Inserting a Table Using the Table Menu
Often, when you insert a table, you'll want to specify more than just the number of
columns and rows your table contains. For example, you might want to set cell
padding or border thickness. In either case, you should use the Table menu.
Place your cursor in the document window and select Table Insert Table. The
Insert Table dialog box appears, offering an abundance of settings that you can use
to make the table of your dreams.
If you just accept the Table dialog box's standard settings and click OK, FrontPage
creates a 2 x 2 table. You can modify it at any time with a right click, which gives
you access to Table Properties. In fact, the Table Properties dialog box offers the
same options as the Insert Table dialog box.
To set up your table, fill out the fields in the Insert Table dialog box as follows.

When the Web Site Templates dialog box comes up, choose the Empty Web and
click on the Browse button to choose a location and name:
When you click on the Browse button, the box in the image below comes up. Select
your Desktop as the location, click the New Folder button to create a new folder,
name the folder NavigationLesson, click OK, then click Open:
This will bring you back to the Web Site Templates box and you will see your
location has been filled in, in the box that says Specify the location for your new
web. Make sure Empty Web is highlighted and click OK.
You will see a box for a few seconds that shows that FrontPage is creating a web for
you. Then you will see your FrontPage interface again. The large gray area is blank
because your web is still empty. You should see yourFolder List on the left which
shows the folders FrontPage creates for you when you make a new web. If you don't
see the Folder List, click on the Folder List button. Then click on the New
Page button to add a page to your web so it is no longer empty, as shown in the
illustration below:
Once you click on the New Page button, FrontPage adds a blank white page based
on the Normal Page template. Click on the Save button and you will see that
FrontPage wants to name this index.htm because this will be the home page of your
web. Leave this name as it is and click on the Save button in the bottom right corner
of the Save As dialog box:
Repeat this process to create six more pages. However, obviously you won't be
naming them all index.htm.Instead, name them the following (remember, it's best
not to use capital letters or spaces in your web page names):
products
services
contact
newprods
oldprods
newsreleases
Once you have all of your pages created, they will all show in your Folder list (and if
you use FrontPage 2002, they will also show as tabs at the top of your page view
screen so you can easily flip between them):
Notice that your index.htm page has a different icon from the other pages, because
FrontPage recognizes it as your home page:
Okay, now that we have a simple web set up, let's look at how to organize in a
hierarchy, so we can add some navigation buttons.
Go to the View menu in FrontPage and click on Navigation and you will see
your Navigation View where there is one page called New Page 1. This is
your home page, or index.htm:
Right click on the New Page 1 page you see in the Navigation view and
choose Rename and name it Home. With a real web, you probably would want to
name this with your web site's name, but remember that this name is what will
appear on your navigation buttons or text links, so keep the name short so it
doesn't get chopped off.
Now, click and drag the services.htm, products.htm, and contact.htm pages from
your Folder List over to the Navigation screen. You will see lines attaching them to
your Home page. Just drop them there and rename them all to
be Services, Products, and Contact. Your navigation tree should now look like this:
So, our navigation now has two levels. Let's add a third. Click and drag
your oldprods.htm and newprods.htmpages from the Folder List over to
the Navigation, but drop them below the Products page so the lines connect them to
that page. Then drag the newsreleases.htm page over so it is below and attached to
theServices page.
Rename them so they have names that will be more user friendly when they appear
on your site. For example, I named them Old Products, New Products, and Hot
News and my navigation now looks like this:
2.In the Colors section, from the Background pull-down list, select the desired
background color
3.OPTIONAL: To set text and link colors, from the Text, Hyperlink, Visited hyperlink,
and Active hyperlinkpull-down lists, select the desired colors
NOTE: For more information, refer to Colors and Text.
4.Click OK
NOTE: Remember to test the compatibility of the color of your background with the
color of your text and hyperlinks. The colors may appear fine individually, but when
you place them all together on one page, you may find their combination difficult to
read.
Creating a Site
These steps establish a site, an initial file structure, and the first page of your web
site.
From the File menu, select New...
The New task pane appears.
Under New Web site, select the desired type of web site
HINT: It is recommended to select One Page Web Site...
The Web Site Templates dialog box appears.
Click OPEN
NOTE: If this is a personal web site, it is recommended to select H:\\My Webs for the
location of your new web site.
Click OK
A Folder List appears showing folders needed in your web site.
To display the last time the page was edited, select Date this page was last edited
To display the last time the page was automatically updated, select Date this page
was last automatically updated
From the Date format pull-down list, select the desired format for the date display
From the Time format pull-down list, select the desired format for the time display
Click OK
The display is inserted and can be formatted like any other text in your web page.
NOTE: For more information, refer to Text & Paragraph Formatting

Default, depending on where you want your page number to appear).
2.To insert the page number, Choose Insert > Fields > Page Numbers. A number '1'
should appear on the second page of the file.
In the Text box, enter the line of text that the marquee should display (If you
highlighted text on the page that will already appear in the box).
Adjust the values for direction, movement speed, behaviour, size, repetitions, and
background colour.
Click OK
To format the background color, font etc, click on the Style button at the bottom,
then play around with the settings.
Note: The best way to setup a marquee is to create one and preview it in Internet
Explorer, trying various effects and colour schemes until it matches your needs.
10.How to Save and Run Web
FrontPage 2003 provides the following views:
-Design. The WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) interface to the development
process similar to the look and feel of most Microsoft Office System products. Most
users will find that a considerable amount of their work is done in Design view.
-Code. The means for direct coding of HTML or other scripting languages. FrontPage
provides a number of tools that assist in entering code through this view.
-Split. A new option that splits the screen between Design and Code view. This
allows the developer a means to instantly see how her HTML will be rendered.
-Preview. Lets you see a quick preview of your site as you are designing it. Because
it is integrated in to the FrontPage interface, there is often no need to open an
additional browser window.
-Folders. A look at your entire site through an interface similar to Windows Explorer.
Folder view supports drag and drop and most other Windows Explorer related
features. Folders view should not be confused with the Folder list described later in
this chapter.
-Remote Web Site. Similar to Folder view but shows your site as compared to the
remote Web site. Enables you to examine the two sites side by side.
-Navigation. If you want to have FrontPage maintain the site navigation structure,
this view both presents the structure as well as provides simple manipulation
options.
-Reports. FrontPage provides a number of reports about site status and traffic that
can be accessed directly through FrontPage. These reports give the developer both
a high-level view of the site and the means to quickly fix whatever problems the
reports identify.
-Hyperlinks. This unique tool gives you a bird's eye view of how your Web site links
to files that are internal and external. How every file relates to every other one can
be examined, and broken links are clearly identified.
-Tasks. If you use the task management system built in to FrontPage, you can access
it directly through the FrontPage interface using the Tasks view.
