New to FrontPage - Footer Question

Frontpage 2003

I was told there was an easy way to auto have footers of every webpage. I
really don't want to add the same footers to multiple pages. I'm talking
about the things on the bottom saying "Privacy Policy / Copyrights /
Disclosures"

Can someone tell me what this function is called in Frontpage? Thanks!

If using FP2003 consider using a Dynamic Web Template to design your site.

Other versions use a bottom shared border or for more control use the FP
Include Page component.

You could do this either with Shared Borders, or with
Dynamic Web Templates.

Shared Borders surround all or selected page with an HTML
table, then propagates the same content to every page that
uses a particular border. If you applied a bottom shared
border to every page in your site, then whatever you put
in the bottom shared border of one page would appear in
the bottom shared border of every page.

To use a Dynamic Web Template, you would create a new page
with an "Editable Region" for the variable content, and
the sig information at the bottom. Then, you attach the
template to all your pages. Within each page that attaches
the template, the Editable Region will contain the normal
page content and the sig information will be locked. To
update the sig, you update the Dynamic Web Template.
