Files In Frontpage / Web Sites

I currently use several files which are updated by various people. These
files are all of word format and essential are a diary of holidays etc...

I am wondering if there is away to display each file in order on a web page
using Front Page but so that every time you open up the web page the page
goes to these files to update the information on the web page so that in
essence the web page shows all the files one after the other and is
constantly up to date no matter who has updated the file?

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks
 
Technically, you could do this by granting the various people permission to
update your Web site, then showing them how to save Word documents as HTML
there, then using Include Page components to pull the info into another page.

However, this approach is usually doomed to fail. The various people aren't
HTML experts, and they'll be prone to saving their files incorrectly and/or
overwriting other files in your site.

A better approach is to write some ASP.NET or ASP pages that the people can
use to update values in a databse, and then display the database values in
your summary page.
