Open the site in Frontpage and Publish it to a local drive, then open
and work on the local copy and Publish it back when you are ready.

Is this because you lose something if you import as opposed to publish?

Yes, when you import you only get the what would normal be view in a browser, so you loose the
navigation structure, themes structure, and server-side scripting code, etc.

...plus, the import function is quirky, and may not even get the other files
that normally would "qualify" for import.

select the files on the server, the "Publish" to local disk. Do not import the
web, publish it to the local machine.

Is this also true if you are downloading a site that doesn't use
themes, or an ISP without FP extensions?
