Tips & Warnings
  • FrontPage automatically converts the document to Rich Text Format (.rtf) before saving it as an HTML document.
  • Graphics are automatically converted to GIF or JPEG format.
  • Often a document created in Word will not retain the formatting options in HTML. You'll need to make the required formatting changes using the FrontPage Editor.
