Create quick links

Creating bookmarks, or named anchors within the same page, can be a hassle. First you have to select your target text, then turn it into a bookmark, type in your link text, and finally create a link to the bookmark. Well, guess what--there's an easier way.

Just select the target text you want to make into a bookmark by right-clicking it. Then drag the text to wherever you want the link created. When you release the mouse button, select Link Here from the pop-up menu. FrontPage will automatically turn your target text into a bookmark and create a link to that bookmark at the location you specified. Nothing could be simpler.

But what about external links? While browsing the Web, you may come across a cool site you'd like to link to using FrontPage. Traditionally, this would mean typing in a text description for the link, selecting that text, using the Insert/Hyperlink menu, and typing in the URL.

If you're using Internet Explorer, however, it doesn't have to be so time consuming.You can just click the small IE page icon located in the far left of IE's Address Bar and drag it into the FrontPage Editor. FrontPage will then automatically create a link to that page at that cursor location and use the page's title as the name for the link. (You can also use this trick in Netscape Navigator by dragging the link icon that's to the left of the location box from Navigator to FrontPage.)

Sound simple? It is. And if Internet Explorer fills your entire screen and is on top of the FrontPage Editor, you can drag the page icon onto the Windows taskbar first and hover over the FrontPage Editor symbol until the program is brought to the front. (Unfortunately, this little trick doesn't work with Netscape Navigator.)

Remove Word formats

Adding large amounts of text to your site is usually much easier if you use a word processor like Microsoft Word beforehand. That way, you can take advantage of conveniences such as Word's AutoCorrect feature. When you're finished, you can easily drag and drop your text from Word right into the FrontPage Editor.

If you've ever tried this, you probably noticed that whenever you transfered text from Word to FrontPage, any included formatting went along with it. This can be a hassle, and can require a number of steps to get the formatting you actually want.

To avoid the hassle, highlight the text you've copied into FrontPage and hit Ctrl-spacebar (or select Format/Remove Formatting). This removes any previous formatting so that you can apply your own. No muss, no fuss.

See what makes a site tick

Have you ever been to a Web site that awed you with a special effect so cool that you just had to know how it was done? Maybe it was a JavaScript trick or a new way to use DHTML. Whatever it was, you can learn a lot of techniques by studying other people's Web sites. And FrontPage's Import Web Wizard makes it easy for you to learn by example.

When you see a site you like, use the Import Web Wizard to "grab" the site (to download all of its files up to a maximum of 100 page levels or 9,999,999KB). You can then study the site offline, using FrontPage views to see how it's structured.

In the FrontPage Editor, select View/Format Marks to see where on the page different HTML tags and scripts are located. And of course, you can also use the HTML view to study the underlying code.
