Alternative way to Launch FrontPage & Open your Web - when working on a computer in LIB 117:
1.  Open Microsoft Explorer browser
2.  Type into the Address field at the top of your browser screen the root URL of your web--e.g., http://www.cocc.edu/jimh/ --and hit Enter key.
NOTE: Root URL will open your index.html webpage by default.  If you have not yet entered any text on your index page, then the page will be blank.
3.  Click the File menu and select Edit with Microsoft FrontPage.  This procedure will open FrontPage and will display your web, but now you need to login in order to access your web.
4.
  You should be prompted with a Login dialog box:  Enter your username and password, and click OK (or hit Enter key).
Username & Password given in class on handout directions, but omitted here to protect access to your web.
If all goes well, you'll be in!!

Launch FrontPage:

1.  Click Start in the lower left corner of your screen.
2.  Choose
Programs + Microsoft FrontPage

Open your web site after launching FrontPage: 

1.  Click File menu from the upper left corner of your screen & choose Open Web.

2. Position your cursor in the Folder Name field of the dialog box, and type in the entire URL of your web, all lower case: your individual WR 316 web will be identified by your first name + your last name initial.  For example, Wr 316 student Cora Agatucci would type in:   http://www.cocc.edu/coraa/

3. Click Open. You will then be prompted to login to the Web.

4. Login (case sensitive, so use lowercase!)
Username & Password given in class on handout directions, but deleted here to protect access to your web.
Click "OK" button.

If all goes well, FrontPage will find your web, authorize your access by your entered login user name and password, and confirm in the "Look in" field: (e.g. coraa on www.cocc.edu). 
4.  Click Open.  Then wait...patiently.

Views (from Inside Your Web)
Your web should automatically open in the Page view of your web, with three frames displayed:

--Views menu in the extreme left frame of your screen: the "Page" icon should be boxed as the view currently displayed on your screen. (If not, single-click the "Page" icon in the Views frame).  

--Folder List:  Next to the "Views" frame, you should see the "Folder List" frame, listing all existing web Pages and Folders of nested web pages in your web. Note: the width of this "Folders List" frame can be adjusted--ask Cora how if you want it to be bigger or smaller.
A boxed
+ icon next to a web folder indicates that there are individual web pages nested within that folder. Single Click on the folder boxed + icon to display the list of web pages filed inside that folder. 
A boxed
- icon next to a folder indicates that this web folder is empty--i.e. there are no individual web pages created / nested as yet within that web folder.

--Main Frame: When you first open your web, the main frame of your screen will display a default new page (in glaring blank white).
To load one of your existing web pages (from the Folder List frame) into the main frame so that you can edit it, you just need to find and double click that webpage in the "Folder List" frame.
For example, you should find a "templates" folder in your 
"Folder List."  
Single click
the boxed + icon  "templates" folder, and a list of pages nested in the "templates" folder will become visible.  
Double click
on one of these listed webpages, and it will appear in your Main Frame.  You can now now edit this webpage. Note: the web page currently displayed in the main frame is identified (by partial URL) at the top of the frame.

Use Microsoft FrontPage Help:
--Click the Help button at the top of your screen, and select Microsoft FrontPage Help from the Help menu, or press F1 on your keyboard.
--Click on a tab to select one of these help options:

bullet Content: Display the Help table of contents. Click on a topic to display help for that topic.
bullet Answer Wizard: Perform a natural language query.
bullet Index: Find information by keyword.
