Lesson 2: Web Page Design in the FrontPage Editor

---

Adding a Page to a FrontPage Web

The Personal Web consists of the home page and three linked pages. You learned how to add these pages to your FrontPage-based Web site using the Navigation View in the FrontPage Explorer.

You will now add a new page called "Tutorial Practice," using the FrontPage Editor. This page will serve as a practice page on which you can freely experiment with the exercises in this lesson. When the page has been created, you will save it to your Personal Web.

To Add a New Page

Figure 1. The Show FrontPage Editor button

1. On the FrontPage Explorer's Tools menu, choose Show FrontPage Editor or click the Show FrontPage Editor button on the FrontPage Explorer's toolbar.

   The FrontPage Editor opens and a displays "New Page 1," a blank page that contains common theme elements. The theme you applied to the Personal Web in Lesson 1 is automatically applied to new pages you create in the FrontPage Editor.

2. On the FrontPage Editor's File menu, choose Save As.

   The Save As dialog box opens.

3. In the Title field, type Tutorial Practice.
   
   
4. In the URL field, change the file name to tutorial.htm.
   
   
5. Click OK to save the page to your FrontPage-based Web site.

   Note: Although it has been saved to your FrontPage Web, you will not directly link the Tutorial Practice page to the other pages in the Personal Web's structure. The Tutorial Practice page is intended as a temporary workspace for this lesson, which can be deleted when you have successfully completed the FrontPage tutorial.

Since the Tutorial Practice page used in this lesson does not require navigation bars to the other pages in the Personal Web, you will hide the shared borders before continuing with the exercises in this lesson.

To Hide Shared Borders and Navigation Bars

1. On the FrontPage Editor's Tools menu, choose Shared Borders.

   The Page Borders dialog box is displayed. In this dialog box, you can override the default border settings for the current FrontPage-based Web site.

2. In the Page Borders dialog box, choose Set for this Page Only.
   
   
3. Clear the Top and Left check boxes so that no borders are selected, then click OK.

The page borders and navigation bars are now hidden and only the theme's background image remains visible.
