FrontPage Include Pages
Include Pages are most effective when used in a layout
done in tables. When planning
your layout, you may wish to leave cells open in which
to place your Includes.
1. Open a new page.
2. Design the portion of your page you wish to use
as an Include Page. It is a good idea to center the
contents of an Include Page if it is to be centered
in a table cell. You may build an Include page in a
table if it is advantageous. It is not always necessary.

Netscape 6.0 Caution - Be careful about aligning
content with the paragraph tag...<p align="right">.
This browser will insert the paragraph space,
possibly throwing your layout out of shape. Instead,
place the alignment attributes in the cell tag...<td
align="right">.

3. Save the page, assigning it an appropriate file
name.
|
File names should contain lower case letters,
numbers, hyphens, and/or underscores. They should
not contain spaces.
cat.htm, Cat.htm, and CAT.htm are not the same
file. Writing file names in all lower case letters
will help keep things in order.

4. On the page in which you wish to insert the Include
Page, place your cursor in the cell or on the page where
you wish the Include to appear.
5. Go to Insert > Component > Include Page >
browse to and select the new Include Page you just designed
> OK > OK. FrontPage has a tendency to add a space
below the Include Page. Just hit the delete key and
it will disappear.
6. Insert the Include Page into each page in which
you wish it to reside.
