Hi All & Merry Christmas,

I somehow created a page that has a header and a table down the left side
that I have used to create my site. Everytime I click on create new blank
page this template comes up. I have now idea how I did this, its' been a
couple years since I first created my site. I thought I would find a template
under the "my templates" tab in the page templates window but no. I searched
the C drive for all files with the extensions .tem and .dwt, nothing. I would
like to click on "Blank Page" and have a blank page not this template. Can
someone tell me what I did and how do I undo what I did?

Thanks for your help

With Windows Explorer, take a look in:
C:/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Templates/1033/Pages11/normal.tem/
And edit NORMAL.HTM as required.
The default for this is

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252" x-undefined>
</head>

<body>
</body>

</html>


This path (above) is for FP2003, for other versions change Pages11 to:
FP2000 - Pages9
FP2002 - Pages10
SharePoint Designer - Pages12

Or if you only have one version of Office/FrontPage installed, the
numbers may be missing altogether.

Sounds like you applied Shared Borders to your Site
Use Format Shared Borders and remove them from all pages

Hi Ron,

Thanks for your quick reply. I'm not sure if I did what you suggested
correctly or not. I opened normal.htm in frontpage 2003 and cut and pasted
the code you gave me and replaced the code. When I tried to open a blank page
I still got the header and boarders and the code you gave me showed up on the
page in design mode. I tried again and your code did not appear in design
mode but I still get the boarders etc.

Here is the code from a new page I created from "New -> Blank Page" after
the I changed. Boarders & Headers still there.
<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tlb, default">
</head>

<body>

</body></html>

Here's the code from normal.htm that I copied after opening it in Windows
Explorer used to create the page above:

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"
x-undefined>
</head>

<body>
</body>

</html>

I still have the header & boarder. My website is www.sandhphotography.com if
you would like to check it out there. I created this site last year and had
no idea what I was doing. I did everything in design mode and had (and still
have) no experience with HTML. I am now trying to clean up the code and
rebuilt the site. any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks again Ron for your help.

Blessing,

Hi Stefan,

Your probably right. I did a search for Shared Border and I have about 15
pages with them. I was looking at how to change Shared Borders and use
Dynamic Web Template and CSS. This is all over my head.

My site is www.sandhphotography.com if you would like to look at what I've
done.

Thanks again,
Skip

With the web open,

1) Format->Shared Borders
Clear all the boxes, and select "All pages".
Note that this will remove shared borders from all pages in the web
site.

2) If you wish these borders to be retained on existing pages, then
before the above operation, open each page, and select "Current Page",
click OK
Edit something in the page to ensure all changes are saved. Save and
close the page.
Then the clearing all borders above will only apply to new pages.

If you wish to remove borders in those pages in 2), they will have to be
removed individually.

Thanks Ron!!

I was able to remove all Shared Border and now am using Dynamic Web Templates.
One more question. Can I use CSS with a DWT page?

Happy New Year1

Definitely. Either as an external file or embedded into the page. The
external file is best, since changing one file (the CSS file) will
update the entire site, without having to update any pages.
