I am learning MS Front Page 2003. My drawing and canvas tools are dimmed,
even with a new page displayed. I cannot use them. I have been having a lot
of crashed with this new product. I downloaded new updates today at the
program's request and am having more problems than ever now. Shouldn't the
tools be available on a new page?

Do you have Site open?

File > Open Site... then select the site.

Or File > New
and create a new site.

The drawing and canvas tools should be avoided, they use VML graphics and
Absolute positioning. VML graphics are only visible in IE5.5 and later,
running on Windows.

To enable VML graphics, Tools->Page Options - Authoring tab, and check the
boxes:
VML graphics, CSS 1.0, CSS 2.0.
Also set browsers to Internet Explorer only or Custom, and the Schema
Version to Internet Explorer 5.0
