The starting point for a Web site is called the home page.
It is the page that is retrieved and displayed by default when a user visits the Web site.
The default home-page name for a server depends on the server’s configuration. On
many Web servers it is index.htm. Let FrontPage Explorer name your first page, which in this case will
be index.htm. All other pages that follow can be named whatever
you choose.
Example:
If you are creating a page on cars then you will let FrontPage Explorer
generate the name of the home page or first page for you which would be index.htm.
If the next page you generate has to do with Ford Motors then you might want to name the
second page fordmotor.htm.
Do you see the pattern?

|
| Can I
publish with FrontPage 97 & 98? |
|
|
Yes, but be aware that some WebBot components may not work
well or at all. The FrontPage 97 WebBot components that require FrontPage 97 extensions do
not work well with the FrontPage 2000 extensions. We do tell our customers that are
using FrontPage 97 or 98 to go and purchase FrontPage 2000 because of the stability and
compatibility with our servers and to utilize the newest FrontPage components.
