Need Brilliant Techie Advice: My MS Front Page Won't Behave! My Main Page is Disobedient!!

My MS Front Page is not behaving properly. When I import text into my main page in this new version 2002, it does not stay in its previous format and is a bear to reformat. It becomes slow and adds extra text. I made up a new intermediary page and imported the text there and it held but when I imported it into the original main page the format held, but the page is slow, as if a buffer is full. I looked at the html and there are no long strings of a command, the way there was before. What is going on????

Please, I know some people don't particularly care for MS products, but I have found Front Page to work like a charm until last night. I am not really technically oriented... but I'm cute!!!

Welcome to FrontPage. I could never get it to make pages that looked the same on every browser. Go back to the old version.

Use Dreamweaver and put Front Page in the fire. It rewrite virtually your entire page and doesnt allow for easy customization.

Dreamweaver MX is out now and it has plenty of help and templates that is easy. I have used DW since I started HTML and now im advanced and still meets my needs.

Hmmmmm.....................the y shoot horses, don't they?

I'll see if I can find one with clothes on!! (just teasing!!)

I haven't gotten that sophisticated yet, Appy Pappy. I just want to put my words on the page. Do you think I could import my new site to my old version?

I have spent months redoing my site, will it drop into Dreamweaver or do I have to re do it? I have a couple of hundred pages here!!

I've been using this for a month now... and I don't even open up front page anymore.

Else, goto your control panel, add remove programs, click on office (or front page 2002) and choose to "repair" - and if that doesn't work, "reinstall" and if that doesn't work, uninstall and then reinstall. Seriously - if you have to uninstall it, try out this 1st page 2000. It kicks ass. and I'm handsome. =)

If I was you, I would employ the XHTML + MathML + SVG standard put out by the W3 committee on April 30 2002. I know it is a bleeding-edge technology, but it allows you access to the MathML namespace as well as the standard DTD's you normally enjoyed in DHTML. Be aware that many formerly supported features in HTML are now deprecated, and that -- for example -- cascading style sheets are the way to go for fonts and the like. SVG is an interesting host language, but obviously because it is not serverside, you will not be able to get the same sort of effects you might achieve with JSP or XSP, or even ASP for that matter. For those sort of effects, I recommend some of the newer technologies such as ASP.NET.

Wow...its interesting there is so many good looking programming geeks. Ahhh, the fruits of the faceless forum.

But then I was able to do it , because I'm OLD and don't get excited any more. :0)
