GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR HTML EDITOR

• Your homepage should be named index.htm.  FrontPage will try to make sure that you have a file with this name.
• Understand that an html document doesn't respond in exactly the same way as a wordprocessing document does.  EXAMPLES: To insert a blank line, hitting the ENTER key sometimes isn't good enough for HTML. You must hold down the shift key along with ENTER. (And sometimes that doesn't work, so you click on INSERT | NEW LINE BREAK. And sometimes that doesn't work, so you'll have to learn a little HTML, like <BR>.) If you want to insert more than one blank space at a time, hold down the shift key and press the space bar.
• Forget tabbed columns; you'll need to use a table. Indenting isn't worth the trouble. You will have dark thoughts about bullets if you try to use these now.
• Don't try to position text around an image with a text-wrapping feature; instead, use a table.
• In Web documents, you do not underline text to emphasize an idea or to set up headings; instead, underlining is reserved for calling the viewer's attention to links.
• FrontPage is an html editor.  An editor must work in partnership with a browser.

• When you are using Word, images are embedded into your document; there is only one file.  In html, images are NOT embedded into the document; instead, the code just tells the browser where to find the image file.  If you have three images on a page, there are four files to upload.  Image files must be uploaded to the web server to the folder specified in the code.
