Mail Form Feedback

The most common item desired is the feedback/order form. To create this type of form on your page do the following:

1. Add some text to your page, like: "send us some feedback", then highlight the text with the mouse, and from the top menu select Insert - Hyperlink
    
2. In the "Create Hyperlink" box select the tab "New Page", which will allow you to create a new form. If your form is already present, you can either enter the page name, or select "Browse".
    
3. If you selected "New Page", on this tab enter the page Title and File Name for the "Page URL" -- you do NOT need to have the complete URL to your site, JUST the name of the file. Select "Okay".
    
4. On the NewPage Box which appears, select "Feedback Form", and press "Okay". You will see the new page in the editor, remember the purple text is commentary, and will not appear on the page. NOTICE that part of the page is outlined with dashes "---", that is your form. You may edit the from as you desire to get the proper info.
    
5. To make the form return via E-mail  place the mouse inside the form area, right click and select "Form Properties." Now, select "Send to" and enter the E-Mail address where this form should be sent (delete any entry in the filename box). You can click on the options and advanced buttons for additional features that allow you to set the subject and also identify the name of the form field which should be used as the from address of the message you receive.

Editing Page Off-line and On-line

Working On-line: This can be confusing to some people.  The "simplest" way to use FrontPage is to open your web site directly and make changes

WARNING: When working on-line, you will actually be working on the web server. Changes you make to your web site are INSTANTANEOUS!! Use caution when applying FrontPage themes, as the theme often tends to apply itself to the whole site--including pages previously installed with one of our Control Panel "Wizards."  

1. On the "File" menu, select "Open," then click "Web Folders." Click on the option to "Create New Folder." On the tool bar, this will be the third icon from the right. 

2. You will be prompted to enter a location to add. This will be the location of your web site (http://www.your-domain.com/. Enter your Front Page user name and password.

3. Click "OK." 

4. You will now be asked to "Enter the name for this web folder. This will default to your URL (www.your-domain.com). Click "FINISH." 

5. Select the page you wish to edit, and select "Save" from the "File" menu (or click the floppy disk on the toolbar). Your changes will now be automatically uploaded to your web site.

Working Off-line: When working off-line, you will be working on a copy of your web site that will be saved to your local computer. The changes you make will not be made to your actual web site until you "Publish" (Steps 7 & 8 below). 

1. Open the "File" menu in FrontPage, click "New", and select "Web."  If using FrontPage 2002, open the "File" menu, click "New", and select "Page or Web."  FrontPage 2002: on the right side of the screen, click on "Empty Web."

2. Select the "Import Web Wizard" icon. You will see a box that says "Specify location of new web." Put in the name of the directory on your local computer where you wish to have the contents saved. Then click "OK." 

3. You will bring up a window that says "Import Web Wizard - Choose Source." Select the option that says "From a world wide web site." Type in the location of your web site (www.your-domain.com). Then click the "NEXT" button. 

4. You will now see a screen titled "Choose Download Amount." We recommend that you select the option "Limit to text and image files." This will pull down your HTML and image files. Now click "NEXT." 

5. You will see a screen titled "Import Web Wizard - Finish." Click the "FINISH" button. 

6. You may see a a box will pop up titled "Import Web Wizard." which says : "The web you are importing was created with Frontpage. To avoid conflicts..." Clicking "Yes" will import the existing website and apply the same themes and borders to the web which will be created on your computer. 

7. On your local computer you will now have a listing of your web files. When you get the message that says "Import web has finished," click "OK." 

8. Now, select the file you wish to edit, and make your necessary changes. Save your changes to each page you modify. When you are content with the changes you've made to your pages, go the the "File" menu and select "Publish Web." Specify the location to publish (http://www.your-domain.com). You will see two options asking whether you wish to publish all pages or just the changed pages. After you've made a selection, click "PUBLISH." 

9. You will now be prompted for a username and password.  Your changes will then be published to your web site.
