Borders and Shading Gone

[Retpgmr]

Running FrontPage 2002 on WindowXP. All of a sudden the ability to use border
& shading around any object is gone. That option is greyed out on all menus.
Example1 - 1) insert a table, 2) go to table properties, 3) I can change the
border width but I can't apply LIGHT or DARK characteristics. Example2 - 1)
insert a picture, 2) go to picture properties, 3) I can change the border
width but the STYLE button is greyed out so I can no longer apply a different
style of border.

I've removed FrontPage from my pc and re-installed it but the problem still
exists. I then installed it on a different pc and the problem is gone. It
appears FrontPage 2002 is corrupted on my pc and doing a re-install does not
get rid of the corruption.

Please help. Thanks

Hi,

With a web open..try going to:

Tools | Page Options | Compatibility | and then set all the dropdowns to
"Custom"

Thanks. That solved half of my problem - I can now modify table borders.

Still can't modify a picture border using the Style button and can't select
a paragraph and apply Borders & Shading to it.

I fixed the other half of my problem! I went back to that page you sent me to
and put checkmarks in the 2 CSS boxes at the bottom. I now can again put
borders & styles around paragraphs and pictures. Thanks for telling me about
that page.

Again thanks for all your help.

Hi,

You're welcome!

Actually you beat me to it as I was going to tell you that!

One thing to keep in mind however..the effects you will be using are not
always visible in all browsers..usually they will show in IE but not in some
others.
