Is a DOCTYPE Declaration necessary in a "Frontpage 2003" created web page? If
so, why do FrontPage not automaticlly insert one? How do I decide which
DOCTYPE to use?

Thanks for any help

Is it necessary? No. Is it recommended? Yes. See:
http://www.alistapart.com/stories/doctype/

If you are creating HTML pages, you'd want to use either:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

or

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">

if you're using frames.
