Microsoft FrontPage uses a web site's default page encoding to help determine the language for new pages. This encoding is then used to determine how a page is saved. You can change a site's default page encoding. For example, if you prefer Unicode, change the default page encoding to Multilingual (UTF-8).
When you create new pages, FrontPage verifies the default page encoding against your keyboard. Then, if you set a default page encoding that is incompatible with your keyboard (for example, the default page encoding is US/Western European but you are using a Greek keyboard), FrontPage will use your keyboard's encoding for new pages. However, if you choose to ignore the keyboard's encoding, FrontPage will compare the default page encoding to that of your computer instead — if the two are incompatible, FrontPage uses the site's default page encoding for new pages.
To set the default page encoding use the following procedure.
