Not possible with templates in FP2000/FP2002. Templates are only used to
create the initial page.

frontpage 2000:
I made a great template that I used on all my pages. Now is there a way to
apply changes to that template cross the my web pages. it looks like it can
be done in themes but I don't want to redo my pages just add a few menu
selections.
Are there other ways to accomplish this?
Suggestions on a good book is welcomed also.

In FP2002 and earlier, the best approach is to store each
page heading, sig line, menu bar, or other repetitive
element in it own Web page, and then use the Include Page
component to incorporate these elements into the pages
your visitors see. That way, when you change the page
heading or whatever, FrontPage updates all the pages that
use it.

To get Dynamic Web Templates, where updating the template
affects all pages that use it, you'd need FP2003.
