Borders getting changed to "none, default"

J

Joel

Working with FrontPage 2002. I'm trying to add borders to
a site that didn't use them. I set up top and bottom
borders, and they look good. Then I used a text editor
outside of FrontPage to walk the site and add the meta
name "Microsoft Border" with content="tb, default" to
every page in the site. However, when I open the pages in
FrontPage, they are set back to "none, default". So I
tried doing it the old fashioned way page by page, adding
the meta name thru FrontPage's File->Properties->custom-
user variables. The page would display okay, but when I
saved it, closed it, and reopened the page, it is again
set back to "none, default".

Any ideas how to get FrontPage to stop resetting this meta
name? Thanks!

Do it the right way.
Format | shared borders.
Select All pages, and check those you want.
