OK..I know this is not supposed to happen. I have created a menu in shared
borders on the left. However, there are some pages where I decided that I
do not want the shared borders. So when I want to exclude the shared border
from a specific page.....and in spite of ENSURING that I check the button
that says CURRENT PAGE....it completely overwrites my "left.htm" to the
default NOTHING...ZIP... NADA. What was a 8k file before is now 1k. My menu
on the left is therefore gone from all 77 other pages!!! Thankfully I was
smart enough after getting screwed by this the first time to make a backup
of the left.htm file.

Don't tell me that FP2003 was designed with this ridiculous flaw. Is this
for real? This did not happen with FP2000

Were the other pages set w/ the shared borders as a default for all pages
(and if you have upgraded are Shared border enabled in Tools Page Options Authoring)
Check / change page status in View Reports Shared Content Shared Borders

I THINK I follow you....ok...not really.

I have about 70-some pages with the same shared border...(menu on the
left)...in all of those pages, I have checked "Apply to Current Page" and NO
checkmark in the "Reset border for current page to web default". In fact,
on the couple of pages where I DON'T want the shared border, I have the same
settings...except I have unchecked "left". In Tools>Page Options>Authoring
Shared Borders is Unchecked.

I'm not clear on what should be checked and unchecked....and even though I
have no fear of the F1 button, I can only find very scant info.

Sorry...that doesn't do it. I did that and my left.htm reverted back to the
default blank page
