Open a new page in FrontPage 2003 (click the "blank page" icon to
Create a New Normal Page in the upper left toolbar). Select Format,
Dynamic Web Templates, Attach Dynamic Web Template... Locate the DWT
you wish to attach in the pop-up window, and select Open.
Moving Content Among Editable Regions
Depending on the layout of the DWT you have attached, you may choose
to move some of your content to other Editable Regions. To achieve this,
simply cut the content from one Editable Region, paste to another, and
save. Your content will not be lost on subsequent applications of DWTs;
it will simply appear in the the location of the DWTIG compliant region
name, or, you will select a new region in which to place it in a DWTIG
non-compliant DWT design.
Unused Editable Regions on Your Page
You may elect, as we have on this page, to not place any content
in the body2, body3, or special2 Editable Regions. This certainly raises
questions, which we will address here:
- Why have the region if you aren't going to use it? The answer
is simple. The beauty of the DWTIG compliant design is the ability
to attach *any* other DWTIG compliant DWT to your page, and not
have to go through the trouble of guessing which content goes where
in future attachments.
- What do the unused regions look like on my published page? They
don't show up. DWTIG compliant designs use comments only, which
are not visible in Preview mode or when published.
- How do I get rid of the comment to insert new content in an
unused Editable Region? Simply highlight it, hit delete, then insert
your content.
- Can I delete the unused Editable Regions? Yes, they can be deleted
on the actual .dwt file; however, if you delete unused Editable
Regions in a DWTIG compliant design, the DWT will no longer be DWTIG
compliant (see #1 above).
