Uninstalling FP2002 & 2003; changing 2002 web to 2003 only website

B

Hi,
I started a web site using FP2002; upgraded to FP2003 but left 2002 version
still on computer. And am now using FP2003 to finish & manage the web site.
(I have WinXP Pro)

My question is, I want to start all over again, by uninstalling both
versions and just install FP2003 (since 2003 is so much different than 2002;
just now bought a book on FP2003) My web site was first created using the
Corporate Presence Wizard in FP2002, which I've now completely adapted to a
different type of site (church web site). I understand my site will NOT be
lost if I uninstall & reinstall FP2003, right?

Also, can I convert the present web site from using 2002 stuff to just using
2003 stuff? Or do I use the FP2003 Corporate Presence Wizard & copy & paste
the text from the present site to a new one, maybe on hard drive until it is
completely transferred over, and test it out on http://localhost/NewChurchWeb
& type that address into Internet Explorer to view it? Etc.

Thanks.

Uninstall 2002. Install 2003.
Open the web in FP2003.
That's it.

You will probably have to publish all pages when you first publish the
web.
Nothing will be lost when removing/installing FrontPage. If you are
using a theme, it may be converted to the same theme applied using
CSS, rather than HTML tags. You should not have to copy/paste
anything.
It is always wise to keep a backup, whatever you are doing.

PS: Before you open the web in FP2003, open FP2003, then
Tools->Page Options - Authoring Tab, and tick Author Time Web
Components, Navigation and Shared Borders.
