With Office 2003, do I need FrontPage?

[Guest]

I'm a total novice, concerning FrontPage--I see in each Office 2003 program
that I show as being installed on my p.c. (i.e. Word 2003, Outlook 2003,
Excel 2003, etc.)--that under 'file'--I have an option to "save as
webpage"...does this mean that these programs do not need FrontPage to actual
create a webpage--just the program that I'm using at the time I try to create
the webpage (like Word2003)? I guess I'm asking if Office 2003's programs
have a type or kind of 'FrontPage' BUILT-IN the program itself? The reason I
ask--is I've been tasked to create a non-profit web-site or page, on another
'parent' page--and I've been told that I must use either FrontPage or else
Dreamweaver--& that I must let them know very shortly, which program of these
two choices I plan to use. I don't even know if I need to purchase FrontPage
(separately)--or if my current Office 2003 is sufficient. Thanks in advance
for any help/advice. Map_77

To build a web site, you will need to purchase FP.

Hi,

No, you do not get FrontPage with Office I am afraid. They are two separate
applications.

Yes, you will need an application like FP (or Dreamweaver or ANO) to create
a website, unless of course you can programme in the required language.

If you're just providing info for a "page on a 'parent' page", provide it to
them (whoever owns the parent page) in any office program you want (Word,
Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) and let *them* convert it over.
