A template is a pre-designed page that can contain page settings, formatting, and page elements. Microsoft FrontPage provides several default page templates, or you can create your own page templates, so that you can create pages for your web site quickly and consistently. Templates are very useful in a multiple-author environment because they help authors create pages the same way.
For example, if all your pages always have a company logo and description at the top of the page, create a template with those elements. Then, use your template when you want to create a new page, and the logo and description will automatically be placed on the page.
To create a page template, you create a page with the settings and page elements you want, and then you save the page as a template. The template will be displayed with the other templates provided in Microsoft FrontPage. When you want to create a new page using your template, you simply select your template from the list.
Templates in a workgroup environment
If you work in a multiple authoring environment, you can create your own custom templates and share them with other authors working on the same web site. Anyone who opens the web can then create new pages based on your shared templates, which are listed along with the default templates.
For example, you might want all of the pages in a web to be linked to a specific cascading style sheet. You could create a template containing a link to the style sheet, and then share that template with anyone working on the web site. Instead of adding style sheet links manually to new pages, authors can then create new pages that already contain the links just by using the shared template.
