Use FP 2003 on a site developed with other software?

[Serious_Practitioner]

Hello, all, and thank you in advance for your assistance and opinions.

I may have to begin taking a fairly active part in the management of a small
Web site. I just recently acquired a copy of FP 2003, and I have a couple of
questions that I'd like to ask before I break something! I know enough about
this to believe that the site is fairly simple, having made small changes to
the site with text editors and the like, but I'm concerned about a couple of
things.

1. The site has been developed and/or maintained using Dreamweaver,
primarily. Currently, the fellow who is doing
the work is using NetObjects Top Page, by IBM. The question that comes
to my mind is - what conflicts might or
will be caused by my beginning to use FP 2003?
2. If one creates or changes a page with FP, in these circumstances, is it
necessary to republish the entire site, or can
one page simply be moved to the server? I detect some differing
information about that in one of the other newsgroups.
3. If I use FP, how likely is it that the next person will have problems
using a different product?

I'm certainly interested in other comments, cautions and information as
well. Thank you again.

Steve,

One of the things that the person who created your site with Dreamweaver
can do for you is to export the stuff that he did to FrontPage. One of
the feature that Macromedia did was added the ability to export to
FrontPage. Check to see if he can do this for you. This will minimize
the chances of incompatibility with codes that Dreamweaver are able to
handle that FrontPage doesn't.
