MS FrontPage Tutorial -- University Outreach and Extension
Using the FrontPage Editor
Launching the Editor
To launch the FrontPage Editor:
Click the FP Editor icon on the toolbar.
OR
- Double-click the name of any file in your FrontPage Web. The page will open in the editor.
Toolbars give you quick access to actions you will use often in the FP Editor. There are several toolbars available, which may be visible as needed, in any combination.
To reveal toolbars:
- Click VIEW on the pull-down menu
- Select the toolbar you want to reveal
A checkmark will appear next to the names of toolbars that are turned on.OR
Right-click anywhere on the available toolbars to see a pop-up list of all toolbars.
Usually, you will want to have these toolbars showing: Standard, Formatting, and Status Bar. The others are used less frequently, but may be turned on as needed.
Format Marks
Like the "Reveal Codes" function in word processors, you can turn on "Format Marks" in the FP Editor so you can see exactly where you have placed paragraph and line breaks.
1. Click VIEW à FORMAT MARKS
Undo
By far the most important keystroke you can learn is Ctrl-Z, which is UNDO. It will undo backwards up to the last 20 commands. Alternatively, you can undo by clicking EDIT à Undo or by clicking the Undo icon on the Standard Toolbar.
Spellchecker
Just do it. You know how.
