Installing Student Data

The exercises have the students open existing FrontPage Webs for them to work on. The file is compressed and must be uncompressed using WinZip 6.2 (or later) for Windows95. Once the file is uncompressed, you will find a folder called "fp98,part2" that contains the sub-folder called "Webs". That folder will contain several sub-folders for each of the Webs mentioned in the manual. The Webs must be imported (i.e., you can not just copy them to the student workstation to open them in FrontPage) into FrontPage.

Here is how to import the Webs:

  1. Copy the "Webs" folder to each workstation or if you have a networked classroom, set up access to that folder from one PC.
  2. Open FrontPage98
  3. At the Start Up dialog box, choose Create a New FrontPage Web, then click OK.
  4. Select Import Existing Web.
  5. Type frames for the name of the Web and click OK.
  6. Browse to or type in the folder where the Webs reside and locate the "frames" folder. For example, if you installed the files on the hard drive you would go to: C:\fp98,part2\Webs\frames. Check the "Include subfolders" box (very important), then click Next.
  7. Click Next to have all of the files imported.
  8. Click Finish to import the Web.
  9. Click on the Open FrontPage Web button to import the second Web that is needed for the course.
  10. Repeat the process of importing using multimedia for the name of the Web and locating the files for importing in the C:\fp98,part2\Webs\multimedia folder.
  11. Repeat the process for the third Web, name it survey and locate the folder containing the Web in: C:\fp98,part2\Webs\survey
