Have you ever tried to edit the HTML code in one of FrontPage 98's shared borders? At first glance, this code is inaccessible. If you look at the HTML of a page that includes a shared border, you won't find what you're looking for.

To edit the shared border's HTML, go to FrontPage Explorer and choose Web Settings from the Tools menu. Click the Advanced tab and then select the Show Documents In Hidden Directories check box. Click OK to continue.   FrontPage will refresh the display, and you'll see a new directory called   _borders. Inside, you'll find an HTML page that corresponds to each border you've enabled: top.htm, bottom.htm, left.htm, and/or right.htm. You can open and edit each of these files in FrontPage Editor.
