Summary of Content
FrontPageHere is a collection of MSFrontpage keyboard shortcuts and web site links to other useful Frontpage resources. Also tips & bits that I have used myself.
 December 2006  This page will eventually be superseded by Expression Web. As Microsoft quite rightly say it isn't an upgrade but a new product. I've beta tested it and then switched to the release version on a time trial only to find that its going to expire before I can buy a license! Its not a 60 day trial (as advertised) but a 30 time usage licence. How bizarre. I'll swallow it because I rather like the way it works (even more so than Dreamweaver believe it or not!). I'll be using it to bring this site up to at least validated HTML 4.01 using the in-line validation and style checker (very handy).

A double mouse click anywhere on the page (except when over hyperlinks) will take you back to the top of the page.

Open any links selected in a new window

All Sites have been found by me whilst browsing the web, they are not generating revenue (for me).
The Links displayed do not necessarily show the full URL, but should point to the correct Sites & should be fully operational.
Please let me know about Broken Links, better alternatives or other similar / useful sites.
