I want to send a copy of an upublished website, on which I am working, to a
colleague via Microsoft Outlook. I can insert an individual page/file, but I
cannot work out how to send the complete Microsoft Front Page web.

Can someone help?

Thanks
 
You need to zip it, then attach to your email.

I have a similar problem in that I want to save a website
to disc so that it can be veiwed by a friend, who doesn't
have frontpage, in exporer. Be intetested to see if you
get an answer.
 
Publish it to a folder on your HD, then delete all of the _vti folders, then burn to a CD. Items
that require a web server and/or the FP run-time extensions will not work from the CD.

Many thanks - spot on!
 
I think I know what he's asking, I am having the same problem. I can attach
the file but when you open it, you can't see any of the buttons or pictures
and the formatting/colors are off. Are you saying, you need to zip all the
files related to that one page?

I am trying to figure out if I need to bundle all the gif and jpg files
together, saving/zipping them along with the file of the webpage.... but
aren't they already tied into it? The page has all of the file coding for the
pictures... so why would I have to save/attach each individual pic/button
when I want to email the page?

Confused,
danielle

p.s. Why don't they have this topic in the Frontpage Help menu?
"How to email a webpage" and yes I know there is an option to "send as" but
I suspect I would be encountering the same thing....
 
The images etc. are not tied to a web page, and the images are not
coded into the page - the web page links to the images.
If you do not zip everything, the web page your recipient opens will
look for the images and other files on your recipients PC - and they
won't be there unless you include them in the zip file.
When zipping, do not forget to maintain the web's folder structure, or
the links will be broken.

Most people would publish the page (and supporting files) to a
website, and send a link to the page.

It is not in the help, as it is not something that would normally be done with a web site, a web
site is meant to published to a location on the internet where it is then viewed using a web
browser.

If you designing a site for someone else, and they need see how it would look, then you need to
publish it to a web server, and then send them a URL

When you work with HTML page, the only content that is actually in a page is text, everything else
is linked to the page.
