Bring site "into" Frontpage...?

[Kenneth]

When you click to the New Page button or select File Menu | New | Page, FP will use normal.tem.

I would only modify this page to have common things that you would want to have appear in any web
that you create. I would not modify if to be used with a specific web.

I normally just create a page in my web, the way I want it to appear, and then do a Save As each
time I need to create new page within the specific web.

Note; When you create a template using the Save As function, do not include links, etc, as the
template is not stored within the web, instead is stored in the same general location as normal.tem,
so that it is available to any web that you might create.

Hi Thomas,

I thank you for your comments, but have a question about the last
thought above:

You suggest that the template "not include links" but I would assume
that I do want to include navigational links in the template precisely
because I would want those to be the same on every page of the web.

Did I misinterpret your comment?

Thanks again,

Also note: Templates are a one time process, meaning that if you change a template after it has been
applied to a page, pages based on the template will not be updated.

Hi Thomas,

Is that also true of FP2003's Dynamic Templates? I thought (perhaps
incorrectly) that they would allow a site-wide update by modifying the
template.

Thanks,

DWTs will update all pages using the DWT, when using FP2003 on a disk-based web or WSS, however you
have to manually open and update each page with the DWT under FP2002 extensions.

Not when using the standard template function, instead or in addition use the FP Include Page
component to add navigation, headers and footer to your pages, then you only have a single page for
each to update.

Hi again,

What is a "WSS"?

Thanks,
