Tips and Tricks
NEW FRONTPAGE 2002 TIPS AND TRICKS
Now you can easily create a photo gallery, quickly generate database support for your Web site or add attention-getting effects to your Web pages with enhanced drawing tools. Below you can find out how to use these powerful new features in FrontPage 2002.

It's a real challenge to create Web sites that contain large numbers of images and still have the pages download quickly. Using "thumbnail" images to display the full-size image that each thumbnail represents helps. But it is very time consuming to make each one, set up all the links to the larger images, and then format the layout to display everything properly. Those days are over with the Photo Gallery tool in FrontPage 2002. Check out "Create a Photo Gallery to Display Images or Photos" at:
http://www.microsoftfrontpage.com/content/TipsAndTricks
/TipsAndTricks.htm 

Want to add a Web front-end to a database to capture visitor feedback or let specific users modify records, but are concerned about how much technical knowledge and support it will require? The new Database Interface Wizard in FrontPage 2002 generates everything you need to add database functionality to your website including a database, the forms, and Web pages required. Check out "The Database Interface Wizard in Microsoft FrontPage version 2002" at:

How often have you been in the situation of having cool vector graphics that you can't readily use in a Web site, for example, from a Microsoft Word document or Microsoft PowerPoint® presentation? It's expensive and time consuming to redo these designs for the Web. It opens up all sorts of new possibilities if you could use drawing tools like auto-shapes, drop shadows, and Word Art or easily paste them from other Office applications, directly in FrontPage. Learn how you now can with FrontPage 2002 in "Using PowerPoint-like Drawing Tools" at:
