Part I ✦ FrontPage Essentials
Figure 1-8: You can rearrange pages in Navigation view by clicking
and dragging.
Page titles and filenames
Web pages have both titles and filenames. The filename is used internally for
FrontPage to organize the Web. The title is the Web page’s “public” name, and is dis-
played in the visitor’s browser when the Web page is opened.
New pages are generated with filenames that have titles such as New Page 6. You
will want to change the titles for these pages to something more descriptive and
creative because they appear in the title bar of your visitor’s browser.
Changing page titles
To change the page title in Navigation view, right-click a page in the flowchart and
select Rename from the context menu. Type a new name and press Enter.
A quick trick for renaming many pages is to use the Tab key to jump from one
page to the other, which automatically enables you to rename pages. You can also
change a page title by slowly double-clicking the page in Navigation view, or by
clicking the page once and pressing the F2 function key.
Page titles are not restricted to eight characters, and can include spaces. However,
you don’t want to make them so long that they don’t fit in your visitor’s browser
window. Adding spaces will also add the ugly and unprofessional looking “%20”
notation in the URL path. So, it’s a good idea to avoid spaces.
