FrontPage 2000 I

CS 102

Mar. 14, 2001

These labs will have you work through the Chapters in How to Do Everything with FrontPage 2000. Slight changes will be made to the material in the book --- read through the lab before starting FrontPage. Don't forget to read the other side of this page!!! Each Chapter that we work on in class is fair game for the following quiz.

Exercises

1. Find and start FrontPage 2000.

2. Use Chapter 1 to familiarize yourself with the FrontPage 2000 user interface. Some of the sections assume you already have a web site, which you don't, so don't spend too much time here.

3. Our goal in Chapter 2 is to replicate the simple web page you made previously in Notepad. Refer back to the HTML Lab handout to review what we did there. We'll forget about the Javascript for now.

   Carefully note the following changes from the book:

   1. On page 40, create an empty web rather than a personal web. For the location of your web, specify fplab1 within your G: drive folder, similar to this:

      g:\kelliher\fplab1
      

      (replace my username with your username).

   2. On page 42, use the Normal Page template.

   3. Switch to HTML view (see page 11). Looks familiar, right? Switch back to the Normal view.

      On the top of page 44, while you're setting the title of your web page to My First Web Page, find the tab that allows you to change background and text colors and change them.

   4. On page 45, follow the instruction to import baltmap.jpg from the S: drive or Network Neighborhood, as the case may be.

   5. Use the Insert Image shortcut button on the toolbar to insert the image. It's a few buttons to the right of the Undo/Redo buttons. If you hold your mouse steady over a button, it's name will appear after a few seconds, helping you identify the button's purpose.

   6. Adding a hyperlink is similar to formatting text --- select the text, then click the Add Hyperlink shortcut button, which is to the right of the Insert Image button.

   7. Save your page at any time as index.htm and use the Preview in Browser shortcut button to see what your page looks like in a browser.

   8. Continue working through the Chapter, experimenting with FrontPage 2000.
