Convert Dreamweaver to FrontPage

D

D. Berver

I have a Web site that was once a FrontPage site that has
been converted to a Dreamweaver site.

Now they would like to change it back. Does anyone have
suggestion on how to ease this transition? Any tricks to
it?

thanks -

Get FrontPage 2003, and you'll have no trouble at all.

I have this same question.
However, I must do the task using FP 2000

Did not see the original question ... I wrote this in 2001 .. hope it's of
some use...


"Want to work with another web editor and FrontPage?

Lets say for our example the other web editor is Dreamweaver.

Create the site with the features you want to utilise in dreamweaver. For
example Use layers to design complex, pixel-precise page designs, then
convert layers to tables to create pages that work in all browsers.

NOTE: You must first set up your local site i.e. 'Define a site' this means
creating a directory to tell DW where the site is, failing to do this may
mean most of your links will be broken. - The number one hurdle when
learning DW.

So now you have 'Defined' your site, made your pages and saved them in DW,
it is time to open the "web" in FrontPage.

File | Open | navigate to the "web" in DW which will probably be something
like

C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver\mysite\

Next publish the "web" to your usual FrontPage Directory. (Where you keep
all your FrontPage webs) EG. this would be c:\inetpub\wwwroot\yoursite or if
using a diskbased web C:\My Documents\My Webs\mysite or something similar.

After it is published open a new site in dreamweaver and point the local
directory to the path you just published to in FrontPage.

You will then be able to work in DW and FP on the same site and use
FrontPage to publish the site or indeed any other Web Editor you wish to
use."

Note ... of course anything propriety that dw uses you will have to work
with to convert ... but that should be the only problem.
