Using FrontPage to create html documents for Chem Today

First create a folder in your space on the server and name it according to what your project title is.

Open FrontPage and begin either typing or copying previously prepared documents into  the page you are creating.  You will be working on the Normal Page.   Check the HTML page to see what it really looks like to the machine, and use the Preview page to ensure that you have the page looking the way you  want it to look.   You can fool around with formatting until you are happy with the result.  Some background on html is provided in the document you have received.

Example of copied text:

There are many examples of human chemical intervention in the world around us.  We identify a problem, susceptible to being remedied with chemicals, and we invent and apply those chemicals.  Fairly simple, albeit sometimes dangerous, in that we don't always think of the side-effects of our treatments.  We know that the result is often less than desirable: air, water and soil pollution, drug dependence or resistance for example.  Strangely enough, foods can also be considered to be chemicals.  Over the centuries, we have ingested these chemicals in order to survive.  Are there no undesirable side effects of this branch of chemistry?  What about modern tampering with centuries-old recipes - does this lead to the same kind of troubles.  What are the chemicals found in foods?  These are some of the questions we will be addressing in this section of the course.

Saving

Save the FrontPage document to your space on the server, being careful to ensure that the images are also in the folder.  When your document is complete, put a copy of your file on the shared server space for Chem Today.  This is the file I will post to the Web.

Links to other sources and links within your document

Outside sources

You can simply use the Insert command to insert a hyperlink to other html sources.  Check the Preview to see if it is working. 

Navigating your document

Links within the document will also be necessary to facilitate the reading of your text.  These are done by going to the Edit menu and putting in Bookmarks, which function as the targets toward which the links will move.  You then go to the Edit menu again to put in the Hyperlinks to these Bookmarks.  The hyperlinks are located at the starting point for navigation.  You must save the document before you can preview how the hyperlinks are working.  You may run into difficulties at this point.  I certainly did!   If you have strange  things happening (like links disappearing after you have tried them!), close your FrontPage document and re-open it from your original, which will probably have the links intact (if you have saved the document, as asked).  And then everything should work.  Don't ask me why!

Posting

Once I have checked your file, I will post it.
