Just bought FrontPage 2002.
Have a website created in Microsoft Publisher hosted on easyspace (FrontPage extensions).

How do I get my existing site into FrontPage so as to edit and add to on a regular basis ??????

Bookj speaks of "new", not much of anything on "existing"

Thanks for help...........

Can't you just go to File/Open and open your .html file in Frontpage?

I don't use Frontpage, so I don't know what the setup looks like, but it seems logical to just be able to do that. That is what Dreamweaver does.

I seem to be able to open my site (I believe I imported it).

However, it is not alterable (i.e, changing a telephone number, etc.)

Thanks for your reply; I'll keep digging.

Hello frjeff,
Have you considered accessing your site via your browser and then pressing the Edit button to edit your site. Try this:[list=1]
Go to your main page of your Web site using Internet Explorer
Click the Edit button and make sure FrontPage is selected (if not click the arrow to its right and select FP)
You will be prompted for your username and password; enter them
You should now be able to see your pages created in FrontPage
Go to View | Folders and you'll have an Explorer-like view of your server space
[/list=1]

Tell me if that works.

Cheers!

Kirupa,

Thanks for your reply.

Your steps do open my main page (of the previously Microsoft Publisher created website).

However, I do not know how to then edit.

All I need to do for now is correct some telephone numvers, times, etc.

What am I not doing that won't allow my entry of text, etc.

Thanks,

Fr. Jeff+
