IMPORTING WITH FRONT PAGE 2002

You can import a source directory of files from your local computer or network. You can also import a web from a Web server on your computer, on a network server, or from the World Wide Web.

1. On the File menu, click Import.

If you have a web open in FrontPage, the Import dialog box is displayed. Click the From Web button.

The first screen of the Import Web Wizard is displayed.

2. Choose the web you want to import:

To import a source directory of files from your local computer or network, click the From a source directory of files on a local computer or network radio button, and then in the Location box, type the path to the directory. Or, click Browse to locate the directory, and then click OK.

Tip If you want to import the entire directory, including any subfolders or subwebs, select the Include subfolders check box.

3. Click Next.
The second screen of the Import Web Wizard is displayed. The screen differs depending on the option you selected in step 2 of this procedure.

4. Determine the files to be imported:

You can optionally specify limitations on the files to be imported:

To import pages that are a specific level of hyperlinks below the starting page, select the Limit to this page plus check box, and then in the Levels below box, type the number of levels you want to import.

For example, if you specify a level of 0, FrontPage imports only the starting page you chose in step 2 of this procedure and any other files on that page. If you specify a level of 1, FrontPage imports the starting page and its contents, plus all files pointed to by hyperlinks on the starting page (and any images and components contained in those files).

To import no more than a specific amount of file space (for example, 500 kilobytes) on your hard drive, select the Limit to check box, and then in the KB box, type the amount.
To import only text and image files, excluding any controls, applets, or other related files contained on the page, select the Limit to text and image files check box.

The last screen of the Import Web Wizard is displayed.

5. Click Finish.

Notes

If you import a disk-based web into an existing disk-based web, FrontPage only adds the files and folders to the current disk-based web. It does not create a new disk-based subweb.
If you import a Microsoft Access database (.mdb extension), you will be prompted to create a database connection.
