Table 1-1 (continued)

New Feature Description

Improved Publishing FrontPage has finally given you more control over how much of a

site you publish to a server. In addition, it provides better

interactivity with FTP. (See Chapter 3.)

New Themes FrontPage 2003 has added a dozen or so new themes. Real

theme lovers will continue to explore the add-ins provided by

FrontLook. (See Appendix C.)

Remove Underlining FrontPage has tweaked page formatting and style features. Most

from Links noticeably, you can use the Underline icon in the Formatting

toolbar to remove underlining from text links. (See Chapter 11.)

Internal Frames Internal (embedded) frames are a cool way to display content

within a Web page— anywhere on the page. (See Chapter 7.)

Better Table Editing FrontPage tables now include automatic formatting features,

including AutoFit to Contents (to adjust column widths) and

AutoFormat (to apply pre-set formatting). Other new table

features include commands to split a table and automatic data fill

features. (See Chapter 6.)

Code A new split-pane feature makes it easier than ever to work with

graphical pages and code at the same time.

Photo Galleries FrontPage includes a new feature that uses a complex

combination of tables and JavaScript to enable you to

automatically generate a display for a collection of photos —

displaying them as thumbnails, and creating links to full-sized

pictures. (See Chapter 12.)

SharePoint/Intranet Tools Office 2003 ships with a pre-fabricated intranet component

called SharePoint. You can use FrontPage to alter and customize

the SharePoint interface. In addition, some of the intranet objects

included with SharePoint— such as lists and libraries —can be

embedded in any FrontPage Web site. (See Chapter 24.)

A Quick Tour of FrontPage

When you open FrontPage 2003, you see a Home list (also called a Task list) on the

right side of the screen. You can open different Web sites and pages in FrontPage

from this list. On the left side of the screen is a big open space, which is your

workspace.
