Premade templates how to add into FP 2003?

R

robin

I downloaded a template that states software required, one is my Microsoft
Frontpage 2003; Macromedia FlashMX+.
My first question is how do I get the template into my Microsoft front page.
Sources available: SWF,FLA,PSD,HTML.
One is a flash file, the other is HTML.
The way I kinda understand I will not be able to edit the flash version
without the program M. Flash MX+, is that correct too ?
I cked on prices of that prgram looks like 750.00 range.
Thanks Robin (e-mail address removed)

Hi Robin,

Templates are generally a "look" that you purchase. Depending upon the
template there may be one page or multiple pages that have that look that
are included with it. Basically what you need to do is to import the files
and folders that are included with the template into your web. Then
basically you use those pages and put whatever content you want of your own
(text, images, etc.) into one of the template pages. You then save that page
to some file name of your own choice. You then go onto the next one..etc. If
you have an existing site you won't be able to simply take that template and
apply it to existing pages..you will need to copy the existing pages into a
template page.

Some templates that come with Flash have .txt files you can edit that will
change some of the wording that is in the Flash presentation. I don't know
if you have that or not with the one you have. but to edit the Flash itself
you will need some type of Flash editor. There are some much less expensive
editors out there (Swish is one) but they may or may not have enough
capabilities to edit your existing Flash that you purchased with the
template.

Custom FP Web/Site Templates are normally install in
%AppData%\Microsoft\FrontPage\Webs

As a folder named "thetemplatename.tem" w/ the template pages in that folder
- the template supplier normally should provide you an installer or instructions for installing it there

Custom FP Page Templates are normally install in
%AppData%\Microsoft\FrontPage\Pages
