frames help

If I have an existing webpage that I want to add frames to, how do I do this? I know you have to make a new page & then insert the frames but how do I save it then to apply to all pages? I experimented on a smaller version of our existing webpage & when I saved it & published it to a temp. site the only thing that showed up was the top frame, nothing else on the page & no other frames appeared. I am new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Actually you create a single frameset, then a page the contain you
navigation, which then load each link (page) into the main frame of the
frameset. This is manual, there is no automated method of doing this.

Are you sure you want to use frames and not shared borders? See help for a
description.

You don't add frames to a page ... you add pages into frames. Create a frame
set using the frame templates, and set each frame with the appropriate page.

If I use shared borders instead of frames, will the borders I create stay the same on each page while the linked pages open in the main window? Is this better to use than frames?

If you use shared borders, they will be the same on all pages using the
specific shared border. You can only have one left, right, top or bottom
shared border per web.
