Hy everybody,
I have some problems with the customization of FrontPage.
I modified the menu bar by adding a new menu containing 5 options each
one linked to 5 macros (stored in the file …\Documents and
Settings\... \Application Data\Microsoft\FrontPage\Macros\Microsoft
FrontPage.fpm).
My menu bar works fine on my PC and I am looking for copying it to
another computer with the same operating system : Windows 2000 Pro and
the same version of FrontPage : 2002.
According to Microsoft.com/Technet informations, I learned that the
FP10.pip file contains all the informations relating to the
configuration of FrontPage.
Some Newsgroups messages are saying you could copy this file from a PC
to another in order to find the same configuration. But after several
tests, that does not work.
Moreover, I noticed that each time I modify the structure of the menu
bar, the file …\Documents and Settings\... \Application
Data\Microsoft\FrontPage\State\Cmdui.prf is also modified !
I thus tried to copy it from another computer to see whether I could
recover the same configuration, but that does not work. The Cmdui.prf
file is ignored, deleted and automatically re-generated by FrontPage
(even when the file is on "Read Only" mode).
Well, I do not understand how this works !
I am also very disppointed when I see that Microsoft does not give us
any procedure to explain how to copy the configuration of Frontpage
from a PC to another.
However, it is easy to make this handling in Word or Excel but the
method is definitely different with FrontPage.
I am sure not to be the only one in front of this kind of situation
and I hope that you will be able to help me.
Many thanks in advance.
