I set up my website using Office 97 years ago and have always used my Win98
computer with Frontpage 97 for maintaining my website (changing text, etc
and uploading changes).
I'm upgrading computers in my network and retiring the old Win98 computer
and using an XP computer with Office 2004 and am having trouble getting
Frontpage 2004 to take over the tasks of updating the pages.
I think the main problem is that I originally setup my website in the root
directory and then later created 2 more websites that are accessed in
subdirectories under my domain.

http://gprecordingstudio.com/christian
http://gprecordingstudio.com/libby
So in the root directory of my website are 2 folders: christian + libby,
that are actually separate websites called subsites.
I tried the Import wizard with Frontpage 2004 and let it go to my domain
website URL and copy the files to my XP computer. I altered one .htm page
and used "publish" to update my website with the changes.
First of all it didn't change the updated page and secondly it messed up the
links to my other subsites. For instance the link that goes from my root
directory website to the index.htm of my subsite was changed to what looked
like a local computer address. (i.e. D:\my documents\my websites). I ended
up having to go back to my Win98 computer Frontpage and update all my htm
pages to fix it.
Also I noticed that in FrontPage 2004 I can see my local website on the left
and my remote website on the right and see that the word "conflict" is
listed by some of the files. I'm not sure what all that means, but I know my
website works fine the way it is and presently I don't want to change it,
but may want to fix any conflicts, etc in the future. I do know that I have
some outdated htm pages that I never deleted from my website. These pages
are never accessed. So I'm not sure whether any of these things are
confusing Frontpage 2004.
I do have Frontpage 2000 also, but I assume I can't install Frontpage 97 or
2000 on my XP computer. If I can do that would I be better off just
installing FrontPage 97 or 2000 on my XP computer? I guess Frontpage 2004
has so many changes and improvements that it doesn't handle this conversion
very well.
The bottom line is I want my XP computer to maintain my website
