how to get pages to come up in 2003 FrontPage

S

sagsam

When I click on the Folder List on left side of screen, I can not get .html
or .htm files to show on the main screen. The pictures and the Microsoft
word files come up also.
All I get is a large grey screen with nothing on it. Am I formatted wrong
or something.

Chris Leeds, MVP-FrontPage

could you explain a little more detail?
What folder list/ main screen, and how do you mean "pictures and word
files"?

Are you working with a Web/Site opened?

Thanks for replying to my request. I guess I did not explain it enough.
I can get the pictures and Word documents to come up on large screen by
clicking on the left hand column (Folder List). But I can not get the .html
files to come up when I click on them. Yes, it happens both when I am online
and offline also. Would appreciate your comments.

Check in Tools | Options | Configure Editors, make sure .htm and .html are set to open with Frontpage(frontpg.exe)

I tried clicking on "html attribute value quotes" in Page Options under
IntellSense. I am still the grey blank screen when I click on any .html
file. MS Word and the pictures do still come on the main screen when I hit
them.

I have been gone awhile. Sorry about long delay.
When I get to the Page Options, I am lost. Do not know what tab to use and
then what to do with it. I am a heck of a rookie.

The response you got said to use Tools Options (Configure Editors) , not Page Options

The regular "Options" is not availiable after clicking on "Tools", only "Page
Options". It is greyed out.
In trying to figure out this mystery, I found that I could go to another
computer, install the FrontPage program, and be able to run the program
successfully. I was able to publish on my site.
I appreciate your help.

Sounds like a corrupt menu
Try finding and deleting the menu file CMDUI.prf in Windows Explorer
- FP will recreate it after you reopen FP
If that doesn't work try Reinstalling FP (make sure you are logged in w/ admin rights when you install)

1) not having any luck finding "cmdui.prf". I get to "

c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\startmenun\programs\accessories"
and that is as far as I can get. I did try the "search" tool also to try to
find "cmdui.prf"

2)Have reinstalled FP several times to no avail. Will try again if you
think it is worth another try.

Thanks Pepper

I did try the cleaner as you recommended and rebooted my computer to no
avail. Still have the blank grey main screen when requesting any .html file.
.jpg files do come though.
