This was especially true when working with training groups who knew little about file management and computers, but wanted to construct a web site using FrontPage 98 Explorer rather than creating and linking individual pages in the Editor. In Front Page 2000 Shared borders have to be applied as you create your web site. In FrontPage 98 they were a default. This is a bit confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, this feature allows a lot more flexibility as you construct your web site. Shared Borders are the areas on the top, bottom, left and right, where, if you allow FrontPage 2000 to automatically link your pages as you construct your web site, you will also automatically create link buttons of your choice, in the borders of your choice, to each page as you create them.
Navigation bars are still pretty much the same as before.
They, with Shared Borders, complement each other. If you decide to add a Microsoft Theme to your web pages it looks fairly similar to FrontPage 98. However, if you look closely at the bottom of the Themes menu screen you will see a Modify button. This is a new feature that many have found appealing. This still remains a problem if you allow FrontPage to select the web page file names when you save your web pages.
