I'm learning to use FrontPage 2003 and started out by making a small site
with the Nature Theme. Apparently, FrontPage automatically uses graphics for
the links or buttons that it makes for visitors to navigate the site.

Is there a way to change the graphical links or buttons to text? If so,
please tell me what to do. Thanks.

It's called a hyperlink. Just select the text you want to hyperlink, and use
the Insert|Hyperlink command to create the link.

Maybe I didn't ask the question correctly. The graphical hyperlinks are
automatically placed on the page by FrontPage and the pages are linked
together.

What I want to do is remove or replace the graphical links with just plain,
ordinary text. However I don't want to break the links themselves. Hope I
said it better this time.

1. Open your home page (or any other pages that's
displaying graphic buttons).
2. Right-click one of the graphic buttons, and choose
Link Bar Properties.
3. Click the Style tab.
4. Scroll the Choose A Style list to the bottom, and
select one of the text styles. (They have Xxxxx in
them.)
5. Click OK, then save the page.

If this link bar was in a shared border, then updating it
in one pages updates it in all pages.

If you have any link bars that aren't in shared borders,
you'll have to repeat this procedure on each one.

Anything that is automatically placed in the page by FrontPage would have to
be there because you applied a Theme, Shared Borders, or some other
FrontPage component. In that case, you would have to modify the Theme to
make any changes to the layout.

I think she's talking about the navigation buttons fp uses in a theme
This can easily be changed to text by right clicking the navigation bar and choosing navigation bar properties
Then select the "style" option. Text options are near at the end of the list.

Thanks everyone, I'll work on it tonight.

I did change the graphic to a standard line of text but all the text
versions have | or /, or some other form of seperator that goes with them
(not pretty).

When I click on the text link(s), FrontPage selects all of them and
so I can't remove any seperators. Please tell me how to get rid of any
seperators between links. Thanks again.

The formats for the Nav bars are stored in the folder
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\1033\botstyle
In the file NAVBARS.INI
- Make a copy of the file (for backup)
Add you own using one of the existing styles as a template, or edit one of the styles to remove the separators

For example - Open NAVBARS.INI and make a copy (in the same file) of the style:

[Bars]
Name=Bars
Description=An HTML style where each link is separated by a vertical line.
Button="<A HREF="#URL#" TARGET="#TARGET#" STYLE="{text-decoration: none;}">#LABEL#</A>"
Selected="#LABEL#"
H-Separator="&nbsp;|&nbsp;"
V-Separator="<br>"
Preview="bars.gif"

Rename it to say NoBars and edit as per below

[NoBars]
Name=NoBars
Description=An HTML style where each link is separated by a space.
Button="<A HREF="#URL#" TARGET="#TARGET#" STYLE="{text-decoration: none;}">#LABEL#</A>"
Selected="#LABEL#"
H-Separator="&nbsp;"
V-Separator="<br>"
Preview="nobars.gif"

Note: You will have to make your own preview image "nobars.gif" by making a copy of "bars.gif" in the same folder and editing it in
an image editor to remove the | bar

Well, I guess this will have to be a weekend project. I have been looking at
Photoshop Elements. Would that be ok to use as an image editor or can you
make another recommendation?
