You have to put your content into a web page a file a .htm

Lets say you have a picture of your horse on a page named

horses-for-sale.htm

you then make another page and lets call that page

blackie.htm

here you can choose to either have a page
which contains your template (layout) and your full menu.
or sizes to the size of your larger picture and you just have the background
configured with back and forward buttons .. however the first solution gives
you more SEO (search engine optimisation potential - every entry into your
site is needed)

On the first page, horses-for-sale.htm you select the thumbnail of one of
the horses (in this case blackie) and right click, choose picture properties
and on the General tab where it says location click the browse button and
locate the blackie.htm file if you want it to open in a new window click
....pencil icon and choose new window from the
pop up and press ok, insert the larger picture into the blackie.htm page
file along with some text - search engines prefer text content.

You will have to put some code on the page to size the browser (if you
choose the single picture with back and forward method ) - which I don't
have to hand (google for it or someone here will give it to you)

Spawn by Jimco might do this exact job I'm not sure if it will just size a
window the larger .jpg file or not ... check that out.

Tip now out is: Title Attributes (tags) in FrontPage
http://frontpage-tips.com/ - FrontPage Tips
They are primarily for FrontPage 2003 but will be good
for earlier versions too.

There is no automated function in FP to do this, requires the use of a JavaScript or a server-side
scripting solution.

Set up a FrontPage photo gallery, or Google for "javascript slideshow" with the quotes.
