Front Page 2003 vs 2000

[Ilenehope]

I just changed computers and I had Front page 2000 on my old computer, now I
have 2003. When I open my web page the headers are not on the page and I'm
afraid to make any changes to my site, in case it will change the on line
look of my pages. Can anyone tell me about the differences between 2000 and
2003? Maybe it is just the way it is supposed to be, but I'm not sure.
Thanks

If you are using shared borders, then, with the website open in
FrontPage,
Tools->Page Options - Authoring tag
Tick the boxes:
Browse time web components
Author-time web components
Navigation
Shared Borders

While on this page, you may also wish to clear the box "VML graphics
(office drawing)" since VML should never be used on a web site, except
possibly in an Intranet.

And tick the boxes
CSS 1.0
CSS 2.0

Should also add, shared borders are deprecated in FrontPage 2003,
consider using a Dynamic Web Template instead. (See Help)

Thanks Ronx,
But I don't see authoring tag in the page options area. Should I just
reload the old front page that worked with my site before?? Thanks again

On Tools->Page Options in FP2003 there are the following tabs:

Authoring, Picture, Code Snippets, Ruler and Grid, Intellisense
General, AutoThumbnail, Default Fonts, Code Formatting, Color Coding

If you do not see these then I am not sure which version of FrontPage
you are using.
If there is a Compatibility tag, then you have FP2002 or FP2000.

With either of these versions there should be no problems with shared
borders (if that is where your original problem lies.)

Okay, I reloaded Front Page version 2000, but somehow it is not opening up my
site as it did before. Now what?

Please expand on " but somehow it is not opening up my site as it did
before. "
Errors? Missing bits?

Download FP Cleaner from http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/fpclean.htm and,
with FrontPage closed, run the routines that clear the hidden web cache
files, and clear the hidden temporary files.

Is this a remote site or a local site.
If a local site how did you transfer it to the new machine?
