HOW TO: How to Create Custom Templates in FrontPage

This article describes how to create custom templates that can be used in Microsoft FrontPage.

NOTE: It is important to note that these steps only create a template for the user who is currently logged-on. On a shared computer, or on a network with shared templates location, you must save the file using "Save As", and then specify the shared templates location. (For example, on a computer that you share with other users you would use the "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Pages" path.)

Creating a Template

1. Open an existing Web or create a new Web in FrontPage.
2. On the View menu, click Page.
3. On the File menu, point to New, then click Page.
4. In the New Page dialog box, select Normal Page, and then click OK.
5. Design the page the way you want it to look.
6. On the File menu, click Save As.
7. In the Save As dialog box, under Save as type click FrontPage Template.
8. In the Save As Template dialog box, type the title, name, and description you want, and then click OK.
   
   If the page contains any images, you will be asked to save them to the Web. Click Yes To All.

You can now access your new template by clicking New on the File menu.
