How can I remove ".htm" from my page link?

I have created links between three web pages, however, on the page, each link
looks like this: [ African American Interests Bl-F.htm ] [ African American
Interests G-Z.htm ] . How can I eliminate the .htm from the links on each
page?

Each of the 2 page names would have to be actual folders, and in each folder your would have to have
a home page, index.htm, default.htm, etc. whatever is required by your web host.

So a user would then access the page via:

http://www.yourdomainname.com/AfricanAmericanInterestsBl-F

I'm not sure I understand. I went through the FrontPage Hyperlink II online
training class. This practice session had us link individual pages with a
back and next link, and that link did not show the .htm in the link. None of
the practice pages were in individual files; they were simply individual
pages within the webiste that they linked.

Is there, then, a way to link individual pages so that just the page title
shows?

I don't have these pages on the website yet, I'm in the process of trying to
build this part of the website. What I have is a series of pages that are
describing various magazines. For example, I have 3 pages of magazine titles
"African American Interests". These are separate web pages built from a
template. I have African American Interests A- Bl, African American
Interests Bl-F and African American Interests G-Z.
On the home page, I have a link that says: African American Interests.
What I want is that when the reader clicks on the link, they will go to
African American Interests A-Bl. Then at the bottom of that page a link to
African American Interests Bl-F, etc.

You can see part of what I am talking about at www.theisabellcompany.com. I
don't have all the sub-categories posted because I can't get the link right.

Ok, then just type the text you want to use as the link, then select the link, right click and
select hyperlink properties and then browse to the page you want the link to link to.

Doing that puts in regular hyperlinks, right?
What I really want is to have the view have the option of jumping from one
page to another. So, if they start on African American Interests A-Bl but
the magazine they want is "Upscale", they would be able to click on the link
"African American Interests G-Z" and go right to the page. With a regular
hyperlink, it just goes to that spot and doesn't give the viewer a chance to
jump from page to page, unless I were to put in hyperlinks to each individual
page from each individual page. That's OK on the short pages, but some
categories have 10-12 pages....that would be a nightmare.

Consider the FrontPage Back and Next navigation bar.
Insert->Navigation->Link Bars->Bar based on navigation structure
and choose style then choose Back and Next
Or FP2003
Insert->Navigation->Link Bars->Bar with back and next links
Choose style and create a link bar.

I have created links between three web pages, however, on the

looks like this: [ African American Interests Bl-F.htm ] [
African American
Interests G-Z.htm ] . How can I eliminate the .htm from the
links on each
page?

If [ African American Interests Bl-F.htm ] is the text appearing on the page, then just
delete what you don't want, like [ African American Interests ].
I think you are not aware of what a hyperlink looks like in the HTML.
The above could be
<A href="Bl-F.htm">[ African American Interests Bl-F.htm ]</A>

The [ African American Interests Bl-F.htm ] part is what shows on the webpage, the
"Bl-F.htm" part being the actual link/path to the page. They really are not related. You
can have any text showing, and the link pointing to any page.

Hope I understood your question.
