FrontPage makes it very easy to change the page title graphic and navigation button graphics. Those graphics are actually generated by the FrontPage Theme, so there's no need for graphic programs!

  1. Click on the Navigation View icon in the Views Bar (FP2000, FP2002). In FP2003, click on the "Web Site" tab, then click on "Navigation" at the bottom. Alternatively for FP2002 and FP2003, you may click on the "Navigation" button that is at the bottom of the Folder List.

    FP2000/FP2002

     FP2003
    - at the top of the page
    - at the bottom

    OR for FP2002/FP2003


     

  2. This is the Navigation View. It shows the structure of your web site.

     
  3. Right-click on the page you want to rename. Select Rename.

     
  4. Type in the new name. For example, you can change "Template" to "About Us."
  5. If you click on the Page View icon in the Views Bar, you will see that the navigation button and the page banner now show the new name.

     
  6. However, you'll also notice that the file name has not been changed. This may get confusing, since your file name does not accurately reflect your new Page Title.
  7. You may also rename your file by right-clicking in the Folder List and choosing Rename.

     
  8. Type in the new filename for your page. The file name should keep the .htm extension and should be one word with no special characters. Hyphens and underscores are permitted.
  9. You can make the same kinds of changes by going to your Folders List. Occasionally changing the Page Title in Folders List will not change what shows up on the bars and banners, so changing the Page Title in Navigation View is usually recommended.
