Dynamic Web Templates
FrontPage 2003 has features for that allow you to create multiple
templates, each containing several content regions, and apply these
to pages in your Web site, according to Microsoft
Dynamic Web Templates are syntax compatible with
templates from Adobe Dreamweaver 4, so you can easily move
your Dreamweaver Web site to FrontPage 2003 or work with Macromedia
Dreamweaver users on a single site.
Just as in Dreamweaver with its template, when
authoring a page in Front Page that is linked to a template, the
user is prevented from changing those parts of the page that come
from the template. When you update the template file, those changes
are automatically propagated to the pages linked to that template.
Here's how to apply a Dynamic Web Template
to a new page:
· On the File menu, click New.
· On the New Page or Web Site task pane,
under More Web Templates, select Web site templates.
· In the Web Site Templates dialog box,
click the appropriate template.
To apply a Dynamic Web Template to a new page:
· On the Format menu, point to Dynamic
Web Template, then click Attach Dynamic Web Template.
