Lesson 2: Working with Frames

With its Frame creation tools,
FrontPage takes the headache out of working with Frames.

Creating Frames Pages

To create a frame, start by selecting File/New/Page. Click on the Frames Pages tab. You'll get a variety of icons representing different frame displays. Select the template you want and click OK.

Once you have your frame page open, buttons in each frame window help you create new content or import an existing page.

Set No Frames content (content that will show on browsers that don't support frames) by switching to the No Frames tab at the bottom of the Page View.

Splitting Frames

To break a frame into smaller frames, select it, then choose Frames/Split Frames. You can choose to break it vertically or horizontally.

Editing Frames Pages

When editing content in a small frame, you might want more room to work. If so, select the frame then choose Frames/Open Page in New Window.

Change the properties of a frame by right clicking on it, then choose Frame Properties from the popup menu. From there you can edit the margins, size, and more.
