Frontpagers need help.

I want to update my website by importing it with the 'import web
wizard' When I have done so it no longer shows my buttons and theme.
There is a comment that I should republish to the 'same site' that I
downloaded to and this is unclear to me. It seems it won't let me.

[my hosting company sold out to another and I want to establish that I
can update with the new company using same FP extensions. I just want
to republish exactly what was there to confirm a fresh start]

I'm pretty new and this is greek to me so any help is appreciated.
thanks,
 
only use the import web wizard if you don't have a user name and password
for the server.
if you've got a user name and password do it this way:
in FrontPage, file/ open web, type http:// address of web, you'll be
prompted for the user name and password. then when the online web opens in
FrontPage
file/ publish and browse to a folder in your hard drive. (you should set up
the folder before you start).
HTH
basically what's happening is you're publishing from the server to the local
computer (cool, eh?)

thanks for that idea. After I get it down and modified, do I
'publish' as usual to get the corrected site back on line?
