How do I import a downloaded template into Frontpage 2003?

I haven't done this since I imported a template I downloaded 4 years ago for
FP 2000. I have two versions. One with Flash, one without. They are folders
made up of many other files. What folder do I need to move them to? I tried
/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Themes, but FP 2003 couldn't
find either one once it was there. It -does- find my old one though, even
though it isn't in Themes.

Thanks!
 
If it's a Theme, try:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\THEMES11

If it's a template, try:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\WEBS11

I too have purchase one of the 1000's of themes/templates. It showed up as a
zipped file that unzipped to 3 folders. Now what do I do? I have made a
master folder and put it into te directories you mention (I am not sure if it
is a theme or template, though it was called a template - I am trying to use
a more modern look ing theme than what fp 2003 offers). With 1000's of these
for sale I would of imagined there would be a GUI button that would allow me
to import this and fp would automatically put it with the other themes?
Regardless I did what you suggest and I am not seeing it among my standard
choices? Please advise
Thanks
 
The author of the theme should have provided you with installation instructions. Was this
theme/template designed for FP2003?

A theme would normally only require 1 folder (unless there were 3 versions of the theme)
Go back to the source and find the install instructions or if it is a template or theme
