Adding Pages to a Web’s Navigation
Structure
You’ve connected pages manually creating hyperlinks between individual pages and you’ve
shared content between pages. Now it’s time to create a navigation structure for your web
which will allow FrontPage to create navigation elements for you.
With the pages in your web starting to add up, you need to start arranging pages in Navigation
view. Doing so not only creates a logical organization for your web, but it also allows
FrontPage to easily monitor the web’s content so that it can not only keep track of which
pages are connected to each other. FrontPage uses this information to create and support some
key Web components automatically. And anything that FrontPage can do to make your job
easier is worthwhile.
Importing a File versus Inserting a File
Procedure
Reference:
Importing a file is different from inserting a file because, instead of just placing
a file in an open page, importing brings an actual copy of the file into the
web’s Folder List. The imported file then becomes part of the web and can be
added to the web’s structure. (The original file remains outside the web intact.)
To import a file into a FrontPage web:
1
Select the location where you want the file to be imported.
2
Choose File→Import.
3
Click Add File.
FrontPage can import nearly any file type there is, but you can specifi-
cally choose web pages, pictures, and Microsoft Office files from the
Files Of Type drop-down list.
4
Locate the file and select it; you can select multiple files if they are in the
same folder.
5
Click Open to add the file to the list.
6
Click OK to import the file.
As we mentioned earlier, the home page provides links to categories of infor-
mation elsewhere in the web. Those areas might include:
• Products/services. Here’s where you supply descriptions of products and
services, possibly a catalog with prices and/or some way for visitors to
purchase the item.
• News. A news page keeps visitors updated as to what’s going on with
your company and industry events. You might find links to sales
announcements, online publications, and/or press releases on this page.
