Need help on how to make news webpage editable for managers.

I was needing some help. How can I use FrontPage to make
the news webpage editable so different managers can put news
on the website without messing the whole webpage up.
I'd like to have them only edit the text in a box on the webpage.
Please advise.
Thanks

I don't know if this is the best way but I have three different people
working on stuff that ends up on the same page. I give each of them a page
with one table on it they can edit and write forever. Then I use the
"include" feature (FP 2002) to bring their work onto one page, each one into
a different cell of the master table on the page that the world gets to see.
I do all the uploads so if something gets messed up I can catch it before it
goes.

Hi
Does this require you to use frames

No, his solution uses the FP Include Page component and 3 separate pages, however he is also doing
the uploading which allows FP to update the page using the included content.

Not in my limited experience. The important point here is to only have the
working table on the working page, no graphics, backgrounds, unless you want
them to go to the public page. "Include will take the info in the working
page and put it on the public page where ever you say "insert".

So you can use the include component to include several other pages into one
page. Does it do this by adding the pages into table cells?

Paul, my answer was for two quesions back. Yes, you put the insert point in
a table cell, then access the function using insert, web component. You can
insert the content into different cells or tables.

Yes, the content that is between the opening and closing body tags (HTML/Code View)

In had a go and noticed that it uses webots. Does FP rely on FP extensions
to do this?

Not for includes.

Only when creating/editing your site. If the live/remote site doesn't have the extensions, you will
have to upload all pages anytime you modify the include page and then save it.
