Office 2007 has no Frontpage, so how do I maintain my website?

[Steve Trowell]

I've been using (simple) Frontpage 2003 to maintain 3 simple websites. Now
that Office 2007 comes without Frontpage, how am I supposed to maintain my
website?

Are they forcing me to buy the Sharepoint Designer tool (or Dreamweaver) to
maintain my websites, OR

Can I upgrade to Office 2007 and leave Frontpage 2003 on my PC, OR

Does Office 2007 include a website maintenance tool other than Frontpage?

I realize Frontpage 2003 was not the slickest tool for maintaining a
website, but it worked for my simple sites. Now I'm delaying upgrading to
Office 2007 for fear of losing functionality I have to have.

Thanks for any suggestions.

You can use FrontPage 2003 for many years.

Microsoft has launched Expressions to replace FrontPage.

I have upgraded to Office 2007 and continue to run FrontPage 2003 as before.

Office 2007 does not. See Expressions discussion above.

No need to fear...
