Overview
1. FrontPage as all Microsoft product has so many templates and ready to use solutions that you cannot admit it is easier for beginner to start using FrontPage to build his first website. You can create simple website personal or business with several clicks and all you will need to do next is to enter your text and pictures instead of used by FrontPage by default.
2. The good news is FrontPage html pages look exactly as they appear in MS Explorer and the bad news is that they look perfect ONLY in MS Explorer. However you may program FrontPage to get rid of nasty tags but I believe it requires some hand coding to adjust pages to Netscape or Opera. Another good news for FrontPage users: about 93% of all internet clients use MS Explorer 5 and higher.
3. As Microsoft application FrontPage is better with ASP pages, which are standard for Windows based hosting and windows based programming.
4. MS FrontPage perfectly interacts with other MS Office products. For example you can easily cut and paste some chart from MS Excel into FrontPage working area.
5. By default MS FrontPage uses table with the fixed width and sometimes it can be a problem to make it display tables with percentage width.
Microsoft FrontPage 2000 is the latest installation in the FrontPage series. With Microsoft FrontPage, the user has the capability of creating and posting web pages on the Internet. With FrontPage 2000, the user has the capability of either the WYSIWYG editor, which allows the user to create web pages without any programming, or for advanced users, to program in straight HTML.

How can I cut and paste text into my HTML code using the right mouse button in FrontPage 97.
Unfortunately, for some reason Microsoft has left this feature out; the only way to bypass this is to use the shortcut keys, such as ctrl + c to copy, or ctrl + x to cut, and ctrl + v to paste. For more Windows 95 shortcut keys, you can view our Windows 95 shortcut key page.
