A web page doesn't contain images. It contains references to the location of
the image. There are basically 2 kinds of webs - server-based, and
file-based. FrontPage can work with both. A server-based web is a web in
which the pages, files, and folders reside in web server directories, and
are accessed via HTTP, just like on the WWW. A file-based web is local, and
is accessed via the file system. There are several reasons why your images
migh not show up. If you open a page without opening a web first, FrontPage
has no web context into which to fit your page. If you then add pictures to
it from the file system, the references to the pictures will be file-based
references, pointing to a location on your local machine. Also, if you open
a web, and then open a page in that web for editing, and add pictures from
outside the web (in the local file system), and don't import those pictures
into the web, or don't publish the images when you publish the web, they
won't show up either.

The most important thing is to remember that you should always be working in
the context of an opened web site. and to use FrontPage to manage and
publish it.

Did you import the images to
a folder "inside" your web before
you linked to them??
If not the links point to a location
on your hard drive.
