Is there a Microsoft "Front Page" for Windows 7?

It's a web page designer. The one I used for XP was the 2003
version.

Are you saying that Front Page doesn't work under Windows 7?

Anyway, a few minutes on Microsoft's site will answer your question.

It's long dead and buried; FP2003 was the last version. In the Microsoft
world it's been replaced with "Expressions Web".

I would not recommend using it today; there is no support from Microsoft for
any of the likely security vulnerabilities that probably exist in it, and my
*speculation* is that it might have compatibility problems in a Windows 7
environment.

I can't offer any recommendation for or against Exprssions Web since I've
never used it: what little page development I do is either hand-coded or
done in Dreamweaver, but most of my Web page work is done by handing the
task off to my specialist and/or our graphic arts department.

I couldn't load it because the iso disk was on my old XP system, and
this was lost ages ago due to a crash,
Who would have thought that "ExpressionsWeb" had anything to do with
web design? I didn't see it on the old FrontPage site.

Yes. It is now called Expression Web. See this link:

<http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/web_overview.aspx>

If you want a free upgrade to FP2003 then try Microsoft Office
sharepoint Designer 2007

<http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=21581>

SP2007 is almost identical to Expression Web.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll cheque this out. I used to be able to change static
data on my web page (like phone numbers) with the FTP thing, but now
it seems one needs a web designer.

It's actually a web authoring tool - has precious little to do with
effective design.

And thank god for that, it produced awful HTML (Word seems to have taken
over that crown).

Even if you are Canadian and they make you spell "(bank) check"

That being said, I know of an absolutely FANTASTIC, basically
drag and drop, learn it in 20 minutes, web site construction
application which comes in a "more than enough" free version,
and a cheap (considering) full mind-blowing version. I found it
accidentally.

It is quite recent so I would be amazed if it didn't work on
Win7.

I am trying to remember its name, if I find it I'll post.

I can't believe I found it, considering there's only about 3
thousand web site programs.

It has dozens of 5-star awards from a variety of software sites.

There's an older version which is free - it may or may not run
on 7.

http://www.snapfiles.com/get/dheeditor.html
They say it does run on "Win (All)":

License - Freeware
Windows 32/64-bit - Win (All)
Requirements - None

An here's the paid version.
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/dhesiteeditor.html

Here's the actual site where you can get ether version.
http://www.dynamic-html-editor.com

The current version is 5.9:
Dynamic HTML Editor (free 30 days trial version)
..:License: shareware 49.90 eur (~65 US $) (for single user)
..:Languages: multilanguage
..:OS: Windows (all versions)

IOW, if you make the site in less than 30 days (or know how to
mess with the registry), you don't have to buy it ;-)

Yes, it does.

Well then the OP can go on using it, though I'd certainly look for something
better, and I'd regard even COPY CON as better than FrontPage.

You mean you didn't appreciate &NBSP?

Do you mean the non-braking space itself, or do mean that it appears
without the semicolon?

I use &nbsp; intentionally on occasion...

I meant non-breaking space, of course, but I am trying to figure out a
use for a non-braking space. Call it serendipity...

Thanks, I'm going to check out the Dreamweaver too, to see how hard it
is.

I was once called upon to edit a web page that someone had produced with MS
Frontpage. It was bloated and unreadable.

I edited it with a word processor and eventually used the search and replace
function to remove that particular part of it.
