How to Publish Updates in Frontpage 2003

Frontpage 2003 is a free website publishing tool created by Microsoft. Known as a WSYWIG, or "What You See is What You Get" web authoring tool, Frontpage allows you to see your web page while you work. You create all your settings the first time you publish in Frontpage. After you have published once in Frontpage 2003, you will be able to update files using the Publish button.

Things You'll Need

• FrontPage 2003

Instructions

1. Open the website you want to update in Frontpage 2003.

2. Edit the files you want to update. Frontpage keeps track of two sets of files. One set of files is stored locally on your computer. The other set of files is stored on the Web server. To change the files that are seen by users of the World Wide Web, you need to update your edited files by using the Publish button.

3. Click the Publish button. The Publish button is located at the top on the Standard toolbar and looks like a stack of papers with lines on the left side.

4. Once you click the Publish button, the changes will be made based on the settings you created the first time you published your website.

Tips & Warnings

• Once you have created your settings for publishing, your site will automatically update every time you click the Publish button. The first time you click the Publish button, a Remote Web Site Properties dialog box opens. The Remote Web Site Properties box is where you select the publishing communication required by your Web-hosting company. You will also have to add the Website address in the Remote Web site location box.

• Some Web hosting companies require a username and password. If applicable, have those on hand the first time you publish using Frontpage 2003.
