HI, I downloaded a template for front page and somehow it
got corrupt in FP2000 program. I have tried deleting the
web so I can import it again but but it keeps showing up
corrupt in the front page program. How can I can get inot
the hidden directorys so I can completely remove this web
from my computer so I can strat from scratch again. I paid
$90 for this template and would really hate to throw my
money out the window. thanks.

I'm using FP 2000
Windows 98
512 mb ram

The proper way to delete a Web is to:

1. Open the parent Web.
2. Right-click the subweb you want to delete.
3. Choose Delete from the shortcut menu.

If you've already deleted the subweb through Windows
Explorer or FTP, running Recalculate Hyperlinks in the
parent Web may help.

Otherwise, physically recreate the folder where subweb
used to reside (just the folder, not all the files), then
open the parent web, convert the folder to a subweb, and
then use FrontPage to delete the subweb.

Thanks for the reply but I did that already. Every time I
import this new template back into front page all the
tables, colors and text are out of alignment, spaces are
there that shouldn't be there etc. but when I preview it,
it looks normal. Go figure ..hehe. Problem is it's hard to
work on in it's present state. Is there any way I can take
a screenshot of this page so i can email the publisher a
picture of it so mabe he can tell me what's wrong?

Sure, just:

1. Display the mess.
2. Press Alt+PrtSc.
3. Open your favorite picture editor.
4. Press Ctrl+C.
5. Save as a GIF of JPEG file.
