Frontpage: Lesson 5 - Working with Templates
 To
use templates, create a new page and insert a layer 600 pixels wide to
hold a grid for the history page. This will contain the same images and
text as used for the page history.html when created in Composer. When
images and text have been formatted, links entered for top level pages
and background images and link colours set, the entire page may be saved
as a template by selecting File, Save As, and then ensuring that FrontPage
Template is selected in the Save as type box. Give the page an appropriate
title, such as basic page. Going to the site manager will reveal a new
folder in which the template file is stored. When you next create a new
page, the template will appear in the New dialog box.
Although
not as sophisticated as Dreamweaver's template tools, changes that are
made to a shared template can be spread across files linked to that template,
but FrontPage makes use of other management tools to control changes across
a web site.
