I have been using Office 2000 for many years. FrontPage is part of the suite
and I have used it successfully for to create my web page.

I am in the process of upgrading to Office 2007 Professional even though it
doesn't have FrontPage as part of the package. It contains Publisher.

Question 1: Will Publisher function as well as FrontPage?

Question 2: Should I totally remove Office 2000 from my computer, and
reinstall FrontPage 2000 and then install Office 2007?

Question 3: Should I just install Office 2007 in conjunction with Office
2000 and let them both reside on my computer together?

Either should work equally well, I think.

If you're interested, the upgrade paths from FrontPage are to either
Expression Web, or to SharePoint Designer:

In my opinion if you are already building your site with FrontPage you
should continue to do so. FrontPage has been discontinued and replaced with
Web Expression and Sharepoint, but is still a better choice than switching
to Publisher to build your webs. Publisher will not "function as well as
FP".

Personally I would do a custom install and specify that Office 2000 not be
overwritten by Office 2007, but you can have only one version of Outlook.
But then I prefer a lot of what Office 2000 offers and hate the ribbons in
Office 2007, so prefer to have the best of both worlds.

David,

Thank you for your reply.

What "ribbons" are you referring to?
And I ask you also....Which of the two do you recommend, Expression Web, or
SharePoint Designer?

Personally I use Expression Web. It's more designed for web designers,
whereas SharePoint Designer is more aimed at working with SharePoint
sites. I think that EW is a superset of SharePoint Designer. Of course,
since SharePoint Designer is free, you can try that, and upgrade to
Expression Web if it doesn't fit your needs.

Ed already explained what I meant by the ribbon menu, and you will
understand once you install and start working with Word and the other core
Office programs. I am one of those if it ain't broke don't fix it type of
people. I don't want to learn a new menu...it took me long enough to figure
out where things were with the old menus. And with that said, I don't know
that you need to 'upgrade' from FrontPage to either EW or SP.

I think the better question is what is it about your site that you don't
like, and that you can't do with FP? Personally I think the scope and goals
one has for their website should dictate the software they choose to build
it with. If you are producing a site now with FP that has good cross browser
capability, and is accomplishing what you want, then don't be in such a
hurry to switch software. Instead go to the Expression Web newsgroup and
start lurking around and reading. There are some great people in that group
that have developed some excellent resource material that will help answer
whether EW is the software you want to move to. Be aware, that you will have
to learn some HTML and CSS coding and the learning curve will be much
steeper than it was for FrontPage, but if that fits the goals you have for
your site, then go for it. Just spend a little time planning the move...
