Notes:
FrontPage Express is a free web page editor, a stripped-down version of Microsoft's commercial FrontPage web-page editor. The program is bundled with Windows 98 and Internet Explorer 4 or higher. (Now that IE 5 is out there are no plans to upgrade FrontPage Express, It may be upgraded when FrontPage 2000 makes it's final appearance but it is not thought so). It allows users to create and publish their web pages with the compatibility and ease of the popular Microsoft Office applications. The following is a step by step tutorial of how to start and create a simple web page with FrontPage Express. It acts the same way as FrontPage, but you do not get the same complex features that come with FrontPage, like the organisation capabilities, themes and style sheets, for example. FPE is strictly for designing one page at a time.
You can use FPE with FrontPage extensions, you of course need a host or ISP with FrontPage extensions. A list of hosts with FREE extensions is available Here. If you want to find out where you can pay for FP extensions visit the Microsoft website for further details!
Open FrontPage Express
To begin using FrontPage Express you must first open the program. The below steps will guide you through opening the program based on the default installed location.
FrontPage Express is an excellent tool for creating complex web pages quickly and easily. Most of the issues surrounding the construction and maintenance of your web pages are covered in the Help section and can be referenced simply by pressing the F1 key while FrontPage Express is running. (The Help in FPE does not go into great detail, to find out more about FPE access the FPE section on this site for in-depth help)
If you installed the full installation you should see FrontPage Express in the list, otherwise you will need to custom install it, or download it from Microsoft's website.
Note: To view a larger version of thumbnail's just click on them!
1. Click on the "Start" button and select the "Programs" folder.
2. Next choose the "Internet Explorer" folder and select "FrontPage Express".
After FrontPage Express is open, you are now ready to begin creating your Web Pages.
How to obtain FPE via these workarounds
Take out an old Magazine disc that has IE 5.0 on it (or below) and do a search for this file!
Fpesetup.cab
Once you have found it, open it up with WinZip and extract all the files to a new directory of your choice, and then double click on the fpxpress.exe file in the directory you extracted all the files to and you will have a copy of FPE.
So you can have IE 5.5 and a free version of FrontPage!
NOTE: The 'file new' command and 'help' do not work with installing FPE in this manner. You are not going to miss the help so don't worry about it. For further help with FPE check out the rest of the FPE section on AccessFP.
As for the 'File new' command just make a blank .htm file and then click file open, open the blank .htm and make your page with it. It works just as good as 'File New'.
