 How To FAQs   


I am using one theme on my web site now, how can I use a second one on the same web site?

The themes and navigation wizards available in Microsoft® FrontPage® are typically applied globally to an entire web site.  The default settings in FrontPage will only apply one theme to a web site at a time.   Although it is also possible to apply a theme to a specific page, on a page-by-page basis.  See the Microsoft article on using themes below:


Applying a Theme with Microsoft® FrontPage® 98

New to FrontPage '98 are over 50 professionally designed FrontPage Themes (or graphical designs) that give your site professionally designed and consistent page backgrounds, bullets, banners, hyperlinks and navigation bars.

Open a FrontPage Web in the FrontPage Explorer and select Themes from the Views Bar.

Once you have selected the combination of colors, graphics and backgrounds that look right to you, you may apply the Theme to your Web by clicking on the Apply button at the bottom of the Themes View. Once the Theme is applied across your site, all the pages in your Web automatically will have a consistent appearance--just as if you had hired a graphics designer to design your Web site.

If you only want to apply a Theme to a single page, open the page in FrontPage Editor and select Theme from the Format menu.
