TOPIC E
Removing a Page from a Web’s
Navigation Structure
Now that you have a hierarchical structure and have added link bars, it’s time to learn what to
do when you have to remove pages from that structure. Pages come and pages go, and when
they have to go, it’s important that you send them packing properly. In this topic, you will
learn how to remove a page from a web’s navigation structure without deleting it.
Your company just launched its most important product line in years. You’ve been working on
the related web for weeks and just put the finishing touches on it last night, posting the rebate
page. The site just opened it to the public and the orders are coming in much faster than
expected. A panicked sales manager calls from the road and demands the product’s rebate page
be removed immediately, explaining there’s no way that a $100 product has a $75 rebate. He
goes on to further state that the product shouldn’t even have a rebate because its new. “Delete
the page!” he commands. So you do. No sooner than you delete the page, the sales manager’s
boss calls and explains that the rebate is in fact valid for the first week, to try and boost sales.
She asks the page to be put back, but you just deleted it so you will have to recreate the page.
You should have just removed the page from the web’s structure.
Remove a Page from a Web’s Navigation
Structure
Procedure
Reference:
Two of the most common reasons for having to remove pages from a web’s
structure are: outdated information (the page is no longer needed so it can be
deleted), or a page needs to be corrected (it only needs to be removed tempo-
rarily for editing). As always, you should manage all web files from within
FrontPage.
1
In Navigation view, select the page that you want to delete.
2
Delete the page.
3
Then in the Delete Page dialog box, select either Remove Page From The
Navigation Structure or select Delete This Page From The Web.
4
Click OK.
What Hap-
pens When
You Choose
to Remove
a Page?
When you press [Delete], FrontPage gives you an opportunity to think about
what you really want to do with that file. Will you ever need the page again?
If that’s possible, you select Remove Page From The Navigation Structure, and
the page is removed from the hierarchy in Navigation view and any corre-
sponding button on link bars will be removed as well. The thing to remember
is that if you remove a page from the navigation structure, the page’s file is
not deleted; it remains in the Folder List. If you select Delete This Page From
The Web, then the file is gone; it’s gone from the web structure, gone from the
link bars, gone from the file list, and gone from the web. Deleting a file is per-
manent; it cannot be undone.
