MS FrontPage Tutorial -- University Outreach and Extension

Using the FrontPage Editor

Launching the Editor

To launch the FrontPage Editor:

OR

Toolbars

The FrontPage Toolbars

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:

  1. Click VIEW on the pull-down menu
  2. 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 icon  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 icon  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.

Spellcheck icon  Spellchecker

Just do it. You know how.
