I'm in charge of a website for my mother's club and would love to make it
better. I need to start editing it with Front Page 2002. But, I have no idea
how to get my current pages into FP. I don't know much(actually nothing)
about website publishing. Our current website is done through Contribute
which allow very little in terms of creativity. I also have experience with
Publisher. Is it possible to edit the current pages with that(2002 version)?

First you will have to Publish the live site to your hard
drive. Choose Edit with Microsoft FrontPage from the
Internet Explorer File drop down menu. Here you will need
the username and password.

Choose Publish from the File drop down menu and Publish to
a folder on your hard drive. FrontPage will state that the
folder is not a web folder and do you want to make it so.
Choose Yes. Once complete close FrontPage.

Open FrontPage and choose Open Site from the File drop down
menu. Browse to your hard drive folder. Once opened, double
click on the page that you wish to revise. Make your
revision, close and save the file. Choose Publish from the
File drop down menu and after the Username and Password
dialog box, click on Publish!

Best of luck!

Does mom's site have FrontPage extensions enabled? If so, you can do what Chuck suggests.

Publisher (the program) is nothing like FrontPage...you have to think very differently with web vs. print.

I would stay well clear of MS Publisher for online content it is a program for
designing Print publications, not for a medium such as the internet.

To start editing in Frontpage, start the application, then go to File > Open >
Web then in the "open site" field, put in the full URL of the site. Then enter
the logon details when prompted. Eventually it will list all the files on the
site.

This is providing your site is Frontpage enabled with the server extensions.
otherwise you need to use the FTP mode to download the files (or use CuteFTP,
WSFTP etc), edit and the re-publish the changes.

You might just need to read through the Help files to do what you want to do and
of course visit back here to this NG frequently.

I don't. I practice in subwebs of my client's (or my) sites - that way if there are server issues I'm dealing with the real thing.

Me2. FPSE settings can vary between servers.
