Hello.

I use FrontPage 2003. My websites use "Bordures partagées" (Shared borders
in English ?) to get common borders for all pages.

A student has modified one site and I discover that many pages do not
display the shared borders anymore, even if they still belong to the
navigation tree. When I want to reactivate the shared borders with menu
Format / Shared borders... to click on the appropriate sides, I get the bad
surprise that the menu item is now disabled. This is true for the pages that
lost their borders as well as for the pages that did not.

What do i need to do to reactive this functionality ?

Thank you in advance,
Gilbert

Are you opening a web site?:
File | Open Site

The option for Shared Borders is not available if you are just opening a
"loose" page.

There are other things that may be wrong too, but check that first.

Hello Rob.

Yes I am opening a web site (intranet). I can browse all pages in the folder
view or the navigation view, for example.

In Tools Page Options Authoring make sure Shared Borders are turned on
