NOTE: I receive my MS FP
Bulletin one month late, now I have found
the
http://microsoftfrontpage.com/ site, I
will be able to post the bulletins sooner.
However please note the bulletins one
receives via subscription at MS are not the
same format as the site bulletins and that
the msfp site also contains other
information. There is one other important
point to note and that is the archives at
microsoftfrontpage.com do not as far as back
as these, so if you want to look back this
is the place to do it! You can also obtain
the bulletins as
FREE E-books with your membership
of AnyFrontPage Bytes.

FRONTPAGE 2000 TIPS FROM PC WORLD
PC World provides some time-saving tips for using the new features in
FrontPage 2000, including the ability to easily apply the format from one
body of text to another, to create a fixed background, and to show tags in
normal view, among others. Read the article at:

INTEGRATE MICROSOFT VISUAL SOURCESAFE WITH FRONTPAGE 2000
If you want to use the Microsoft Visual SourceSafe version control system
as a method of source control, you can integrate a new or existing Visual
SourceSafe project with FrontPage. The source control actions that are
performed in FrontPage will also be performed in Visual SourceSafe, as
though the Web author had used Visual SourceSafe directly. This article
from Microsoft Personal Online Support explains how:
<http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q205/7/28.ASP>
CREATING HOVER EFFECTS FOR FORM BUTTONS USING DHTML AND CSS
FrontPage 2000 contains a rich set of Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) and
Dynamic HTML (DHTML) authoring capabilities that allow you to create a
variety of hover effects. This article describes how you can create hover
button effects for regular form field buttons by using the CSS features and
DHTML formatting:
<http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q222/9/49.ASP>
CREATING DHTML EFFECTS WITH FRONTPAGE 2000
Dynamic HTML (DHTML) Effects allow you to animate almost anything on a
page, including text, paragraphs, pictures, buttons, and marquees. An
effect is activated by an event (such as clicking a mouse, loading a page,
or pointing to a specific piece of text). FrontPage 2000 DHTML Effects can
be found within the user interface, and they provide professional results
without requiring the knowledge of scripting. See how at:
<http://support.microsoft.com/support/frontpage/fp2000/DHTML.asp>

FRONTPAGE TIPS AND TRICKS
============================================================
ZDJOURNALS TIP: TO PUBLISH OR NOT TO PUBLISH
If you have a fast Internet connection, you may be accustomed to editing
your Webs live on the fly. Doing so gives you immediate gratification --
your changes appear on the Internet as soon as you hit the Save button.
But so will your mistakes. That's why the FrontPage publish feature may be
the better way to go. With that feature, you create your
>Web locally and then click Publish to upload it to the Internet--as long
as your Web server has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.
If you want to create a local version of a live Web, open the live version
and use the publish command to "publish" the Web to your local hard
drive.
