Front Page 2003 and Vista Home Premium

[dadlewis]

I have upgraded my computer to a new laptop that has vista home premium and
also have a full version of Front Page 2003
I am currently running the Military version of Office 2007 that I purchased
at the Exchange.

Question is should there be any problems loading Front Page 2003?
I do not want to cause Office or Vista to crash because of the load.

I was so disappointed that Microsoft discontinued FP and could not find a
good replacement for it. I for many years taught volunteer librarians how to
create websites using front page because it was so easy to learn and use.

Also once loaded can I get the service packs for FP2007 alone?

It is best to load versions of office in chronological order - FrontPage
2003 (uses office 2003 components) should be installed before Office 2007.

Install FrontPage using the Custom install - do not install any Office
tools. Then you may have to run a repair on Office 2007 to correct the
bits FrontPage overwrites. Both will run without problems on Vista SP1.

The replacements for FrontPage are Expression Web - aimed at standards
compliant web sites, and SharePoint Designer - aimed at SharePoint sites
but is very similar to FrontPage and EW v1. My recommendation is
Expression Web v2. SD is a free download from http://www.microsoft.com
(sorry, I don't have the exact URL), and EW has a free trial from
http://www.microsoft.com/expression. Neither program supports VML
graphics, if that is important to you.
