: OK..I found a way to open the mywebs folder and right-click on the
folder
I
: want converted..It says convert to web, but when I click on it, it
comes
up
: with some scary questions. How much damage could the conversion do?
:
: : > Is it possible to just ceate a new web and then transfer the
contents
into
: > it?
: >
: > : >> Nothing Happens? Did the folder open? Was there an error
message?
Or
: >> are you still looking at the open web dialogue?
: >>
: >> Always works when I open a folder as a web in FrontPage or
Expression
: >> Web.
: >>
: >> In FrontPage 2003:
: >>
: >> File->Open Site
: >> Select the folder group (example: My Documents) in the Look in
column
: >> Select the folder you wish to open as a website - or double click
on
a
: >> folder to open that folder for further selections.
: >> Click the Open button
: >> A warning appears: "FrontPage needs to add information to your
folder
in
: >> order to manage your Hyperlinks and other Web site content"...
: >>
: >> Click Yes - this converts the folder to a web and the web will
open.
If
: >> you have previously ticked the "Do not ask me this again" box you
will
: >> never see the warning. If on that occasion you answered "No" you
may
: >> never be able to open a web using this method, but you will get an
server
: >> error message, and the folder will not open. If you clicked Yes
before,
: >> the folder will open as a website, without displaying a warning.
: >>
: >> Previous versions of FrontPage - use File->Open Web. The Look in
bar
may
: >> be missing on the dialogue, but the rest is the same.
: >>
: >> In Expression Web:
: >> As for FrontPage 2003, but there will be no warnings, and the
metadata
: >> files will not be added by default. But it will be a web that
opens.
To
: >> add the meta data folders and files, use Site->Site Settings -
General
: >> Tab
: >> Tick the box "Manage the website using hidden metadata files",
click
OK.
: >> The metadata files are required in Expression Web (for your
convenience)
: >> when using FrontPage Include files, Dynamic Web Templates, for
publishing
: >> changed pages only, and for keeping track of hyperlinks when
moving
pages
: >> between folders or renaming pages and files.
: >>
: >> If you are opening a folder in the My Webs folder, this will
already
be
a
: >> website - but it may be a folder within a website.
: >>
: >>
: >> When you have the web open, check the compatibility settings. You
need
: >> to set the browsers to Custom, with no mention of Netscape. This
may
: >> affect the availability of some commands/options.
: >> In FrontPage 2003 Use Tools->Page Options - Authoring Tab
: >> Other versions - Tools->Page Options - Compatibility Tab
: >> Expression Web - not applicable
