Converting from Dreamweaver MX to Frontpage

D

digraphicx

New to Frontpage but developed a website in Dreamweaver but my client uses
Frontpage. The index page works fine BUT apparently there is a problems is
the "webbot bot ' "Include".....section that I keep reading about which is
"suppose" to be connected only with Frontpage. I created secondary pages
that will be used on each subsequent page, BUT they will not display a
general jpg graphic I've created at the top left and right (see:
http://www.merrlincolumbia.com/contact_us.html).
****************************************
QUES 1: what is this [../navbar/header.html] ?
QUES 2: what is this [footer.html]?
****************************************
Confused on how to repair the problem. The code checks out and works just
fine in Dreamweaver but somehow the conversion to FP creates additional code?

Below is the code for page mentioned above that has a problem (this works on
any additional links from the index page).

[../navbar/header.html] indicates that FrontPage is attempting to
include a page named header.html into a page in a folder (unknown
foldername) from a folder named navbar. Either the header.html does
not exist at the location specified, or it has something seriously
wrong with the construction.
Include pages in FrontPage are ordinary HTML pages, constructed with
the normal sections and tags
<html><head><title...</title></head><body>...content...</body></html>

Since contact_us.html is in the root the path to header.html is
obviously wrong: open contact_us.html in FrontPage (with the web open)
right click on the included section and change the include page
properties to point to the correct location.
