| Fixing a
CDF Ending Date |
When you specify a ending date in a Channel Definition Format (CDF)
file, the CDF Wizard in FrontPage includes an EndDate attribute in the
<schedule> tag,as shown here:
<Schedule EndDate="1998.09.04T00:00+0000">
However, the EndDate tag will not be supported in the next version of Internet Explorer.
StopDate will be supported instead.
To fix this problem in your CDF file, just open the file in a word processor and change
EndDate to StopDate.

Forcing Pages to Reload |
While most Web pages are relatively stable, you may have some that
change frequently. For example, you might have a page that dynamically displays your
company's stock quote, changing on a minute-by-minute basis throughout the day.
Unfortunately, if the page is cached on the user's machine, more recent versions may never
appear. What you need in this case is a way to tell the browser not to cache the page.
You can do this easily with a meta tag. Just add the following to the<head> section
of your page:
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache">
Now, every time a user hits the page, the latest version will be downloaded from the
server.

| Add tables from Word or Microsoft Excel to
your Web page |
If you've created a table in Microsoft Word or Excel, you may easily add
it to a Web page in your FrontPage site. Simply select and drag the table from the Office
application and drop it on your target Web page in the FrontPage Editor, or copy the table
from the Office application, switch to your target Web page in the FrontPage Editor, and
choose Paste from the FrontPage Editor's Edit menu. Either way, the table is added to your
Web page and in doing so, FrontPage automatically generates the code behind the scenes, so
you never have to worry about writing HTML! You may then easily use all of FrontPage's
table editing and table-drawing tools to edit your table and its contents
|
| Putting the insertion point between two
tables |
When you have two tables butted together vertically, it can be hard to
insert a line between them. To do so, place the cursor after the content of the top
table's last cell and press [Ctrl][Enter].
Similarly, to put the insertion point before a table at the top of your document, place
the cursor before the content of the first cell and press [Ctrl][Enter].
In FrontPage 97, if this cell is empty, you'll have to type a character in it before
hitting [Ctrl][Enter].

Removing Page Margins in FrontPage |
By default, FrontPage includes a small margin along the top and left
margins of your page. You can remove this margin easily (for most browsers
at least).
To do so, right-click on an empty area of the page and select Page Properties... from the
popup menu. Then, click the Margins tab. Enable either or both of the check boxes on this
page (Specify Top Margin and Specify Left Margin). Leave the default value (zero) to
eliminate the margins.
You can achieve the same effect by editing the <body> tag in your page's HTML as
follows:
<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">
Note: Netscape Navigator ignores these settings.
