Instead of opening the web with a location such as
http://www.example.com,
you need to open the local web on your PC from a folder location such as
"C:\my documents\my websites\example\" (where "example" is the name of your
web, which is just a folder on your hard drive).
Then in FP, go to "File" > "Open Web" and browse to the "Example" folder,
click "Open". Then open the pages, make your changes.
Then to publish, go to "File" > "Publish Site"... and in the Remote Site
Properties, use the method of your preference - eg Frontpage Extensions,
type in the full URL of the site you're publishing to as
"
http://www.example.com" or
http://members.example.com/~yoursite/ " or by
FTP it might be ftp://ftp.example.com (this depends on your host and how
they set up FTP accounts).
FYI, "local web" refers to the Frontpage web that's currently open; this
could be the actual live web
http://www.example.com or on your PC "C:\my
documents\my websites\example\".
You can't really turn off live publishing as such, but as long as you have
the local (disk based) copy of the web open, you can publish as needed to
the live site rather than working on it "live" which negates the need to
publish since you're saving the pages directly to the server.
However, you can publish the web from the server to your computer, in the
same manner; open the live web (as you hae been doing) then go File >
publish web, and choose the "File System" as the publish method, and publish
the entire web to your hard drive - this ensures that all the FP bots and
files are transferred correctly. Choose the location such as C:\my
documents\my websites\example\, and it will transfer the files (this could
take time if it's a large site with lots of files).
Then you can open the copy of the site that is on your hard drive.
From this point on, open the disk-based copy of the web, edit the pages and
publish as previously outlined above.

Thank you for your response.
I'm working from my local computer, with FP. (I'm hoping that is what you
mean by "local pc."). I must be working on the FP "Live Site." Is there a
way
to turn the live publishing off? Sorry, hope you understand what I'm
saying.
Take care.

If you are working on the Live Site in FP you are already saving the file
to the server and it is Live (no publishing required)
- If you are working on you Local PC it won't publish unless you use the
Publish option

publishes
