[. . . ] Then either change the link's settings or click the Remove Link button before clicking OK. Although FrontPage can help you check links if links are broken (we will look at how it does that later in this course), it's not smart enough to tell if a link's target is the one you intended. No You can also drag a file from the folder list (internal) or a link from your browser (external) and drop it where you want to create a link.

(Link to an internal or external file or page. ) te ria l TOPIC B Creating a Shared Border With hyperlinks added to our "connecting pages" arsenal, it's time to turn our attention to connecting page content. In this topic, you will learn how you can have the same content repeated consistently on pages in your web. Many pages include duplicate items--especially when it comes to navigation elements, logos, and boilerplate text, such as legalese and contact information. And more often than not, repeated information is positioned in the same place on every page. You could manually add the repeating stuff to every page in your web if it were only for a few pages; however, that's dull and tedious work, and you may not be consistent as you go. FrontPage can streamline this monotonous task for you by requiring you to enter that information only once. LESSON 3 Ma Do Add Shared Borders Procedure Reference: te tC A shared border is a reserved region on one or several pages in a web where you can add content that will be displayed if the page is formatted with shared borders. (In Page view, Shared Borders are displayed as dashed lines or boxes along the edge(s) of a page. ) For example, you might want a company logo displayed at the top of each page, and an email link displayed at the bottom. nc e re fe Re Lesson 3: Connecting Pages Figure 3-1: The Shared Border dialog box.

As you can see in Figure 3-1, shared borders can also be added to the left or right sides of pages. By making a change to a shared border on one page, you automatically update the shared border on all other pages that use it.

The configuration of shared borders can be different for each page in a web. For instance, just because the home page has a right-shared border doesn't mean that every other page in the web has to have a rightshared border. 3 Select where you want the shared border(s) located and, if selecting Top, Left, and/or Right, whether or not to include navigation buttons. (See Figure 3-1. ) If you include navigation buttons in your shared borders, FrontPage automatically inserts navigation bars for you based on the site's navigation structure. You will create the navigation structure in a few minutes. Click OK. nc e Pl ea se fe Re re FrontPage Components FrontPage components, formerly called webbots, are prefabricated elements that you can easily insert in your pages.
