Text created in photoshop, saved for web, pixilates in Frontpage

[Guest]

I'm trying to create a heading for a webpage in Photoshop CS(2) and when I
save it for the web and open Frontpage and use insert picture from file the
text comes in pixilated but the image with it comes in fine. How can I create
headings with interesting text in Photoshop that won't pixilate when I bring
it into Frontpage? I am using the same dimensions in Photoshop that I have to
use in Frontpage but when I insert the image into Frontpage it comes in
larger and I have to re-size it.

That's not a FrontPage issue, it's either an issue with forcing the image to resize in the
browser,
or an issue with the quality setting when you saved the image.

Do Not let FrontPage do anything with the image such as resize it.

Keep in mind, a lot of the things that look good in Photoshop won't look
good on the web unless you're very careful about your choices. You're not
going to get print quality here. We're talking 72 dpi, which is really bad,
but that's what we're stuck with. When you export images out of Photoshop,
it's going to anti-alias then and drop them down from the 300 or 600 dpi
that they begin as all the way down to 72. The reason it's coming into FP
larger is it's the wrong dpi. If you set Photoshop for the correct DPI then
it will truly be the same size. One inch of 300 DPI is the equivalent 4.16
inches as a 72 dpi graphic.

Hope this helps,

When I create a text graphic in my graphics program, I render it at least to
200 ppi. That gets rid of the jaggies. Then I save the rendered text as a
jpg.
