Insert paragraph tags before tables

Working with content placed around a table can still be a hassle, though. For instance, when you place a table at the top of a page and you want to place text or an image above it--if you place the cursor in the first cell and hit the Enter key, it'll just add a new line inside the table.

Don't worry--there's a way around this. Instead of hitting the Enter key by itself, hold down the Ctrl key at the same time. This inserts a normal paragraph above the table, letting you add any other content at the top of the page.

This little trick works at the bottom of tables, too. Just place the cursor in the last cell of the table. 

Use keyboard shortcuts

Insert line breaks (Shift-Enter) Pressing Enter while editing text in the FrontPage Editor creates a new paragraph, but what if you only want your cursor to begin a new line? To insert a line break in the FrontPage Editor, hold down the Shift key while pressing Enter.

Navigate table cells (Shift-Tab) While working inside of a table in the FrontPage Editor, you can easily move from cell to cell by hitting the Tab key. Holding down the Shift key at the same time will reverse your direction.

Extend tables (Tab) If you've reached the end of a table and your cursor is inside the last cell, hitting Tab automatically extends the table and creates a new row of cells.

Find items fast You can quickly search through a list box (for instance, when choosing a new font) by pressing the first letter of the item for which you're looking. If you want to find the first font beginning with the letter V, for example, just click the Font command list box and then type V.

Superscript (Ctrl-+) To format text in superscript, instead of milling through a bunch of menus, hit Ctrl and the plus key.

Subscript (Ctrl--) Same as above, only hit Ctrl and the minus sign instead of the plus sign. 

Create custom themes

Take a look on the FrontPage 98 CD-ROM in the Sdk/Themes/Designer folder. You'll find the FrontPage 98 Theme Designer. To install it, run the tdsetup.exe program. The next time you run FrontPage, you can access the Theme Designer from the FrontPage Explorer by selecting Show Theme Designer from the Tools menu.

The Theme Designer lets you define settings for a number of different style elements, including:

Colors
Text
Headings
Backgrounds
Table Borders
Links

Graphics
Bullets
Banners
Navigation Icons
Navigation Bar Buttons
Horizontal Lines

You can also select a font for your theme. And it's a good idea to specify a few alternates while you're at it.

Using the Theme Designer is simplicity itself. To change an element, just right-click it and select Properties from the pop-up menu. The dialog box that appears shows different options available for that element. For instance, to change the table border colors, right-click the table element and select Table Properties from the pop-up menu. In the resulting dialog box, select the colors you want from the drop-down list. That's it.
