Lesson 3: Publishing Your FrontPage Web

---

Replacing Text on Pages

The FrontPage Editor's Replace command makes it easy to find and replace content on selected pages in your FrontPage-based Web site. Text such as page titles added in the Page Properties dialog box or text contained in FrontPage components is not included in the Replace command.

Before replacing text on pages, you should first save and then close any open pages in the FrontPage Editor.

To Replace Text on All Pages in the Current FrontPage Web

1. On the FrontPage Explorer's Tools menu, choose Replace.

   The Replace in FrontPage Web dialog box is displayed. In this dialog box, you can specify text to be found and the text it is to be replaced with. You can choose to replace text on all pages in your FrontPage-based Web site or on selected pages only.

2. In the Replace in FrontPage Web dialog box, type the following into the Find What field:

   Welcome to my Web site

3. Next, type the following into the Replace With field:

   Thanks for visiting my Web site

4. Click OK.

   The Find Occurrences dialog box is displayed. In this dialog box, FrontPage reports its progress, as well as the option to proceed with the replacements.

5. In the Find Occurrences dialog box, select "Home Page" in the list of pages and click Edit Page.

   The FrontPage Editor opens the home page and displays the Replace dialog box.

6. Click Find Next to find the search text, then click Replace to replace the text.

   The greeting on the home page should now read "Thanks for visiting my Web site!"

7. In the Replace dialog box, click Cancel.

   Clicking Cancel closes the Replace dialog box. It does not undo any replacements that have already been made.

8. Save the page and close the FrontPage Editor.

   The greeting on the home page has been successfully changed.
