Include pages are a special feature of FrontPage that make it easy to have content that is used on multiple pages.

In this template, the "your logo here" graphic and copyright information are within "include pages." When you update the include pages, every page on your web site is updated as well.

To change the logo graphic or the copyright information:

1. In your Folder List, open the "includes" folder. You'll see "logo.htm" and "copyright.htm." Double-click on one of the files to open it.
   
2. Edit the content as you wish, then save.
3. This will automatically update every page of your web site with the new information!

Let's say that you want to create a new include page. It's easy!

1. Create a new, blank page and put the information that you want to include on different pages. Save the page (preferably in your "includes" folder).
2. Now, open the pages that you want to insert the included information into. Place your cursor where you want to include the content.
3. In FP2000, go to Insert > Component > Include Page. In FP2002, go to Insert > Web Component, click "Included Content," and click "Page."
4. Browse to the new include page that you created and click OK.

Tip! Include Pages in FrontPage act as "blocks" - that is, you won't be able to insert an include page in the middle of a paragraph or page. You can "cheat" by creating a table where the include page is in one cell and your other content is in another cell - that's what we did in the top row!
