Cheat Sheet For Microsoft FrontPage:

Creating a New FrontPage Web:

Ø      Open up Microsoft FrontPage through the Programs tab under the Start Menu

Ø      Go to the top left corner and click on the File tab and click the New option, thereby revealing another side window in which New Web should then be selected.

Ø      One Page Web is highlighted as the default setting in the new pop up window.  Go over to Options on the left side of the window so that you can rename it C:\LastName_Webfolio and then hit enter.

Opening an Existing Web:

Ø      Find your existing Webfolio.

Ø      Double-click on your Webfolio and in the popup window search for a web page named Index.

Ø      Double-click on the Index page and look for the Microsoft FrontPage icon next to the Printer icon on the toolbar.

Ø      This icon allows you to edit your Website using Microsoft FrontPage.

Inserting a New Page Into Your Web:

Ø      Go to the top left corner and click on the File tab and click the New option, thereby revealing another side window in which New Page should then be selected.

Ø      Or you can click on the New Page icon that is right underneath the File tab

Ø      Or by right clicking on LastName_Webfolio underneath the heading Folder List, which on the left hand of the screen in between Views & the Page that you are working on, and select the New Page option.

Creating A New Folder in Your Web:

Ø      Right click on LastName­_Webfolio underneath the heading Folder List, which on the left hand of the screen in between Views & the Page that you are working on, and select the New Folder option and then rename the folder.

Inserting A Table:

Ø      Click on the Insert Table icon on the toolbar and then specify the number of rows and columns (ex. 3 by 2)

Ø      Or click on the Table tab and go down to the second option Insert, click on that and then select the first option Table.  Then specify the number of  rows and columns.  You can also specify the Alignment of where you want the table placed relative to the page.

Creating A Hyperlink:

Ø      Highlight whatever it is that you would like to create a hyperlink from and then either find the Hyperlink icon on the toolbar, which looks like a globe with a paperclip (or rather an infinity symbol), or right click on it and choose the last option on the list that appears, which is going to be named Hyperlink. 

Ø      Then in the popup window select the page or open the folder and designate what it is that you want linked by clicking it once so that it is highlighted and then press OK on the bottom right of the window or just simply hit Enter.

Inserting a Picture:

Ø      Place the cursor wherever you want to place the picture and then go to the Insert tab.  Once clicked go down to where it says Picture and choose this option.  In the next window Clipart and From File are the options that we are interested in.  Either click Clipart if you would like to search for images from within the clipart gallery of FrontPage or if you would rather select one that you have found then click From File and search through the folders in which you might have put it in your web.  Then click to highlight and press OK or hit Enter.

Importing:

Ø      Go the File tab and search for the option Import, if not seen right away then you may have to expand the menu.  Click on Import, and then in the popup window select either Add File or Add Folder, and then designate the files or folders, whether they be on your desktop or on the hardrive, that you would like to have imported into your web.

Ø      Once designated then click OK.  If the do not immediately appear within the Folder List window within FrontPage, then save what you have done and close and then reopen FrontPage and they will be there.

Changing the Background Color & Font Color:

Ø      Either right click anywhere on the page and search for the option Page Properties within the list that appears and then click on the Background tab, which should be the second tab in the new window, or simply click on the Format tab and search for the option Background.

Ø      Then you can either insert a picture of your own as the background or you can change the color by going down to the second option Colors and selecting the color you want.

Ø      Notice that here you can also change the Font color, however this option changes the font color for the entire page(s) instead of just one selection that is highlighted.  To change only a small selection you need to highlight it and then you can either search for the Font Color icon on the toolbar and change it that way or you can right click on it and choose the next to last option on the list, right above Hyperlink, which is Font. Once selected, in the popup window search for Color, which is right beneath Font, Font Style, and Font Size.  Font, Font Style, and Font Size, as you can guess can also be altered here as well.
