I've got FP 2002. Is there a newer version that has substantially better
controls? Is there another microsoft product that is taking the place of FP
in th continuing product lineup? Is there another software that's
inexpensive and easy to use that you would recommend? (my laptop runs Vista
Home)

Thanks!

FrontPage 2003 is the last version of FrontPage. It will continue to be
supported by Microsoft until January 2011, but with full support only
until Jan 2009.

FrontPage has been replaced by Expression Web and MS Office SharePoint
Designer.
Expression Web is aimed at standards compliant web sites, and has
limited support for FrontPage components. SharePoint Designer is aimed
at SharePoint websites, but has more support for FrontPage Components.
Neither program has any support for VML graphics (WordArt, ShapeArt,
TextBoxes and objects created using the Drawing toolbar).

A trial for Expression Web is available from
http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/Overview.aspx?key=web

IMPORTANT: Do not forget the product key obtainable from a link on the
download page.

The newsgroup for Expression Web is
microsoft.public.expression.webdesigner
The link
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.expression.webdesigner
should open the group in your news reader.

FYI, FrontPage extensions are only supported on Windows 2003/2008
servers - other server types (Unix, Windows 2000) have no support for
extensions other than that given by hosts. There is a version of FP
extensions available for IIS7, used by Windows Server 2008 and Vista.

Ron,

Would one be better than the other for a basic designer? I do some word
graphics with other programs and bring them in as a .gif image. I do
websites for dog rescues so ease is of need! here is my main site if you
would look and make a recommendation it would be GREATLY appreciated.
