    Microsoft® FrontPage® 2000


    Standard Features

    Looks and works like Microsoft Office Office 2000 and FrontPage 2000 share common Themes, toolbars, menus, shortcuts, and tools like the Format Painter, HTML Help, and background spell checking.

    More than 60 business-ready customizable Themes Users can choose from more than 60 new pre-designed business-ready Themes to provide a consistent look to individual pages or an entire Web site. They can also create their own Theme by customizing any of the elements in an existing Theme.

    Cross-browser Dynamic HTML animation effects Add Dynamic HTML animation effects to pages with the click of a button. Animation effects work seamlessly with Netscape Navigator 4.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0.

    Easy database integration Easily create a form that sends data to a text file, an e-mail address, an existing ODBC-compliant database, or even to a new Microsoft Access Database. Use the Database Results Wizard to display database contents on a Web page.

    Positioning and layering using CSS 2.0 Place page elements like graphics and text anywhere on the page--even layer content, through absolute and relative positioning. Great for wrapping text around an image or slightly overlapping images.

    Enhanced color tools Choose Web-safe colors to apply to graphics and text, or choose custom colors from a color picker. Create custom Themes using pre-set Web-safe Color Schemes, or select a custom color scheme from the color wheel.

    HTML Source Preservation Edit existing HTML and scripts (including ASP) worry-free in FrontPage. Bring HTML created in other tools into FrontPage, and it will not modify the code. Tag and comment order, capitalization, and even white space are preserved.

    Personalized HTML Formatting Allows users to decide how they want their code indented, what colors they want their tags, when to capitalize, and when to use optional tags. FrontPage automatically applies these preferences to new code.

    Author in your favorite environment Author in Normal (WYSIWYG) mode, or use Reveal Tags to see your tags while still in Normal view. Or author in HTML view, which provides a text editor-like environment and allows users to insert code by hand or use familiar FrontPage menus and buttons.

    Target specific browsers, features, and servers Pre-select which environments to target (browser, server, FrontPage Server Extensions, ASP, DHTML, CSS, script), and FrontPage automatically restricts features that will not work on the targeted systems.

    Automatic Hyperlink Fix-Up Rename or move a page or graphic in the FrontPage-based Web site, and hyperlinks are automatically fixed. Even works on Microsoft Office documents.

    13 site management reports Users can easily run reports listing slow pages, unlinked, recently added or changed files, broken hyperlinks, component errors, review status, name assigned to, categories, publish status, or checkout status for any of the files on their Web.

    Create Webs anywhere Users do not need to have access to a Web server in order to create Web content. They can create a complete Web site right on their hard drive or Personal Web Server, then publish to a server when ready.

    Workflow reports Users can assign responsibility for a page to a team member when pages are saved, and even set up and assign approval levels or stages in their own publishing process.

    Check-in and check-out Reserve a file in the FrontPage-based Web so that no one else can edit it. This prevents another user from saving edits on top of the file they are currently working on. It also allows you to quickly revert to the previous version of a file.

    New Category Component Use the Category Component to automatically create and update a list of links to all of the documents in a specific category. Saves time because when documents in a category are added to a Web, the Category Component automatically updates the list.

    Publish anywhere Easily publish to a server that has or doesn't have the FrontPage Server Extensions installed using the FrontPage built-in FTP. ISPs can host FrontPage-based Web sites on Microsoft Windows NT or a broad variety of UNIX platforms and operating systems.

    Nested Subwebs Set rights to the Web as a whole and also set specific rights to subgroups so they can be in total control of their sub-sites.

    Windows Installer Technology Uses the Microsoft standard Windows Installer Technology, the same installation program as Microsoft Office, so companies can easily roll out FrontPage 2000 along with Office 2000.

    Supports the latest Web technology Edit HTML, Dynamic HTML, CSS, ASP, and script. Insert advanced functionality directly into Web pages through FrontPage components like the Category Component. Create custom applications using Visual Basic for Applications 6.0.
