INSTALLING MICROSOFT FRONTPAGE 2000

Disable Virus Protection

---------------------------------------------------------
Some virus protection programs can interfere with the
Microsoft Office 2000 or Microsoft FrontPage 2000
stand-alone version Setup program. If you use a virus
protection program on your computer, please disable it
before running Setup. You can re-enable the virus
protection program after Setup is complete.

Note: If your virus-detection program starts

automatically when you start Windows, you may be able to
disable it by restarting Windows while holding down the
SHIFT key. For details consult your virus-detection
program's documentation.

Some Features Switch Automatically to a Different Setting

During a Custom Installation
---------------------------------------------------------
During a custom installation, if you set FrontPage to
"Not Available" and then change certain features of
FrontPage to something other than "Not Available," Help
will also switch from "Not Available" to the new setting
you chose.

If you are trying to save space on your disk, try setting

FrontPage or Help to "Installed on First Use" instead.

Installing FrontPage 2000 on a Network

---------------------------------------------------------
>>> To create an administrative installation point for
FrontPage 2000, follow these steps:

1. Create a share on a network server for the

administrative installation point. The network share
must have at least 550 megabytes (MB) of available
disk space.
2. On a computer running Microsoft Windows 95/98 or
Microsoft Windows NT that has write access to the
share, connect to the server share.
3. On the Start menu, click Run, and then click Browse.
4. On Office Disc 1 in the CD-ROM drive, select setup.exe
and click Open.
5. On the command line following setup.exe, type:
/a data1.msi
and click OK. For example:
e:\setup.exe /a data1.msi
6. When prompted by Setup, enter the organization name
that you want to define for all users who install
Office from this location.
7. When prompted for the installation location, enter the
server and the share you created.

For additional information about network and

administration issues, see the Office Resource Kit Web
site at:
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/

Prompt for CD Key when Setting Up FrontPage 2000 from

Administrative Installation
---------------------------------------------------------
When you set up FrontPage 2000 on your computer from an
administrative installation on a server, you might be
prompted for a CD Key. This will occur if the system
administrator who created the administrative installation
did not enter the CD Key.

To solve this problem, ask the system administrator to

create a new administrative installation and enter the CD
Key in the first dialog box. Once this is done, you will
not be prompted for the CD Key when you run Setup from
this new administrative installation.

Unexpected Message During Installation

---------------------------------------------------------
If you get an unexpected message during Office setup, and
you get the same message when you try setup again, you
can create a log file that will be useful to Microsoft
Product Support Services in troubleshooting the problem.
Once you create the file, you will need to call Microsoft
Product Support Services.

>>> To create the log file:

1. Click the Start button on the taskbar, and then click
Run.
2. In the Open box, type:
<path>\Setup.exe /L*v c:\Verboselog.txt
where <path> is the location of
Setup.exe. For example, if you are installing from a
CD-ROM drive, then the text you would type might look
like:
d:\Setup.exe /L*v c:\Verboselog.txt
3. Click OK.

Setup will start again and a log file called

Verboselog.txt will be created at the root of your C:
drive.

Installing FrontPage 2000 Without Removing the Beta 2

Build of Office 2000
---------------------------------------------------------
When starting FrontPage, you might receive the following
message:

Required registry information is missing and this

application cannot run. Please rerun Setup to correct
this problem.

Or, after a few seconds, the program might quit.

You might experience either of the above if you installed

FrontPage 2000 without removing the Beta 2 build (2221b)
of Microsoft Office 2000.

>>> To solve this problem, do the following to remove the

Beta 2 build of Office 2000:

1. Click the Start button on the taskbar, point to

Settings, and click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
3. In the list of installed programs, click Microsoft
Office 2000 Premium Edition. (This is the Beta 2
version of Office 2000.)
4. Click Add/Remove.
5. Click Remove Office.
6. Click Yes to the prompt confirming that you want to
remove.

FrontPage 2000 Shortcut on the Programs Menu Varies

According to Your Operating System
---------------------------------------------------------
The FrontPage 2000 shortcut on the Programs menu might
have the following problems:

1. It does not self-repair the program.

This problem occurs because your operating system does
not support Windows Installer shortcuts. Only the
following versions of Microsoft Windows support these
shortcuts:

* Windows 98
* Windows 95 with Internet Explorer 4.01, Service Pack
1, and Active Desktop installed
* Microsoft Windows NT version 4 with Internet
Explorer 4.01, Service Pack 1, and Active Desktop
installed

Note: If you install Internet Explorer 5 on a computer

that has either Windows 95 or Windows NT version 4 and
that has Internet Explorer 4.01, Service Pack 1, and
Active Desktop installed, it will still support
Windows Installer shortcuts.

2. It does not install the program on first use.

This problem occurs because Installed on First Use is
not an option for FrontPage 2000 in the Selecting
Features dialog box during setup. Installed on First
Use is not an option because your operating system
does not support Windows Installer shortcuts. The
 operating systems listed under number 1 support
Windows Installer shortcuts.

3. It does not display a path on the Shortcut tab of the

Properties dialog box for the shortcut. This indicates
that the shortcut is a Windows Installer shortcut.
Windows Installer shortcuts do not directly reference
the path of the shortcut target. Instead, they contain
a token that the Windows Installer resolves to the
path of the shortcut target. The operating systems
listed under number 1 support Windows Installer shortcuts.

Using Punctuation Characters in Folder Names During Setup

May Cause Problems
---------------------------------------------------------
Do not use a comma (,), single quotation mark ('), or
exclamation point (!) in the name of the folder where you
install FrontPage 2000. It is recommended that you use
the default folder or use only letters and numbers in
folder names.

Installation Settings for Clip Gallery

---------------------------------------------------------
You may encounter problems running Clip Gallery if you set
it to Run From Network or to Run From CD during a custom
installation. For best results, leave Clip Gallery set
to Run From My Computer.

WORKING WITH MICROSOFT FRONTPAGE 2000

Installing FrontPage 2000 on Computer with FrontPage 98

---------------------------------------------------------
If you are upgrading from FrontPage 98 and choose to keep
FrontPage 98 installed during the FrontPage 2000
installation, the shortcut on the Start menu that points
to FrontPage 98 will be replaced with a shortcut to
FrontPage 2000. FrontPage 98 will remain installed. You can
create a shortcut to FrontPage 98 that points to
fpexplor.exe.

If you are upgrading over FrontPage 98, the last 4 webs

you closed prior to installing FrontPage 2000 will be
immediately accessible through the Recent Webs command on
the File menu in FrontPage 2000.

Getting Started with FrontPage 2000 for New Users

---------------------------------------------------------
If you are new to using FrontPage and would like
information on how to get started, please see
http://www.microsoft.com/workshop/languages/fp/2000/
tutorial2000/default.asp

Creating FrontPage 2000 Web Pages That Interact with

Databases
---------------------------------------------------------
If you want to use FrontPage 2000 to create Web pages
that interact with databases, install the most recent
version of the Microsoft Personal Web Server before
installing FrontPage 2000. You can find the Microsoft
Personal Web Server at
http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/
recommended/NT4OptPk/default.asp, or in the
\add-ons\pws directory of the Windows 98 CD prior to
installing FrontPage 2000.

If you have already installed an earlier version

(inetsw95.exe version 4.70.1181 or earlier) of the
Microsoft Personal Web Server, and do not want to
upgrade, but have not yet installed ASP, install ASP
before installing FrontPage 2000. You can install
ASP.EXE from
http://www.microsoft.com/office/intranet/modules/asp411s3
.asp

Disk-based Webs Must Be Published to Server That Supports

Active Server Pages to Browse Database
---------------------------------------------------------
If you create a disk-based web, you must publish that web
to a Web server that supports Active Server Pages to be
able to preview results of database actions with a
browser or to have those results included on that Web. For
example, you can create a table on a disk-based Web page
to display active information from a database, but that
table will not display such information until the web is
published on a server that supports Active Server Pages.

Obtaining Microsoft Office 2000 Proofing Tools

---------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Office 2000 Proofing Tools is an add-in package
for Office 2000 that contains all the language tools
Microsoft makes for more than 30 languages. It can be
obtained from a licensed reseller. The part and SKU
numbers listed in Help are incorrect. See
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ for more information on
obtaining Office 2000 Proofing Tools.

Editing Clips That Were Deleted from a Previous Version

of Clip Gallery
---------------------------------------------------------
If, when inserting clips, you double-click a clip that
was deleted from a previous version of Clip Gallery, and
then press ESC or click Cancel to exit Clip Gallery, the
clip will be replaced. To keep the current clip, click
Undo after exiting Clip Gallery.

Colors May Not Display Correctly on 256-Color Monitors

---------------------------------------------------------
After you view pop-up windows in Help topics, colors for
some elements may no longer display correctly on 256-
color monitors. For example, the following elements may
appear differently on the screen after you view pop-up
windows:

* Bitmaps
* Pictures included in files
* Office Assistant
* Hyperlinks

To fix the display problem, change the color palette

for your monitor.

>>> To change the color palette:

1. Click Start on the Windows taskbar, point to Settings,
and then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the Display icon.
3. On the Settings tab, select an option other than 256
colors. Microsoft recommends that you choose more than
256 colors if such an option is available.

Downloading Euro Support

--------------------------------------------------------
To download euro support, please go to the following
addresses:

* Windows 95

MICROSOFT FRONTPAGE 2000 HELP

Some Help for the Visual Basic Editor Contains

JavaScript Examples
---------------------------------------------------------
Some Help topics in the Visual Basic Editor that describe
the Page and Web Object Models contain examples and
references in the JavaScript language rather than in the
Visual Basic language as would be expected. These topics
contain a blue banner that says "Dynamic HTML" at the top
of the Help frame. Do not cut and paste these code
examples when you work with the Visual Basic Editor
because this code will not work in Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA). However, the concepts that are
outlined in the JavaScript documentation are all
applicable to using the object models in VBA.

Renaming a Web
--------------------------------------------------------
The "Rename a Web" help topic states, "Renaming a disk-
based web changes the path to the web on your local
computer or local network." This topic is incomplete. You
can rename a disk-based subweb, but you cannot rename a
root web.

_________________________________________________________
ISSUES FOR ASIAN LANGUAGE FEATURES
Possible Display Problems When Using Multiple Asian Fonts
---------------------------------------------------------

If you install multiple Asian fonts on non-Asian versions

of the Microsoft Windows NT version 4.0 operating system,
you might experience display problems, such as very large
text, blank text, or very large blank areas occurring in
FrontPage 2000 or in Windows NT. This is a known problem
in Windows NT version 4.0 Service Pack 4 that will be
fixed in an upcoming Service Pack release for Windows NT
version 4.0.

_________________________________________________________
ISSUES FOR LEFT-TO-RIGHT LANGUAGE FEATURES

Possible Printing Problems

---------------------------------------------------------

Certain printers will require updated printer drivers.

Please contact your printer manufacturer if you encounter
problems printing.

When you use the WordArt feature, Arabic text with

diacritics will appear disconnected when published to the
Web. It is recommended not to use diacritics with WordArt
objects when publishing them to the Web.

_________________________________________________________
MICROSOFT VISUAL BASIC FOR APPLICATIONS

Default Language for VBA and Microsoft Script Editor

---------------------------------------------------------
VBA and Microsoft Script Editor default to English if the
current system code page does not support the user
interface language.

New Properties (VBA)

---------------------------------------------------------
The following are new properties that apply to class
modules in standalone projects:

* Instancing Property

Sets a value that specifies whether you can create

instances of a public class outside a project, and if
so, how they will behave. Not available at run time.

Settings

The Instancing property has these settings:

Setting Description

1 Private (default). Other applications are

not allowed access to type library
information about the class and cannot
create instances of it. Private objects are
only for use within your component. The
 Instancing property default varies depending
on the project type. Private is the default
only for class modules in standalone
projects.

2 PublicNotCreatable. Other applications can

use objects of this class only if your
component creates the objects first. Other
applications cannot use the CreateObject
function or the New operator to create
objects from the class.

* Name Property

Returns the name used in code to identify a class.

Read-only at run time.

Syntax

object.Name

The object placeholder represents an object expression

that evaluates to a class.

Remarks

An object's Name property must start with a letter and

can be a maximum of 40 characters long. It can include
numbers and underline (_) characters but can't include
punctuation or spaces. Although the Name property
setting can be a keyword, property name, or the name of
another object, this can create conflicts in your code.
