Frontpage display problem / missing html

I have a web page that I was regularly updating with some photos and text
over a period of several weeks. Suddenly, it stopped displaying correctly on
the web, although it looks fine in FrontPage. But if I look at the html tab
in FP I see that it does not contain all the necessary code. I can log into
my site via FTP and see that all the files are there. How can I force this to
regenerate the the appropriate code?

FYI, the URL is www.lorendjones.com/max

Thanks in advance.
 
This is where my ignorance of FrontPage will show. I open the site to work
on it, so I don't have a local copy that I publish...I just edit on-line, so
I'm unsure whether there is a "publish" option in that scenario. Does it
exist somewhere locally that I can try the drag-n-drop from?

Thanks for the assistance....it is appreciated!

There must be a copy on your machine because your server doesn't have FrontPage
extensions,
making it impossible to edit your live site directly.

Open FrontPage, and then click File > Open Web ( open site in FP 2003 )
In the open site dialog, click My Network places and see how many locations show.
Hovering the mouse over the entries will show you the address.

It just shows the wwww.lorendjones.com, but no local copies. I've contacted
my ISP because the extensions are SUPPOSED to be installed, and I went
through that with one of their techies a few weeks ago when this problem
first surfaced (following a platform migration they just performed in July).
I've gone through the web mgmt app and told it to activate them again, so
we'll see if it takes this time. I'll let you know the results. Thanks!

Okay, now the extensions are there, but my problem remains: I open
http://www.lorendjones.com, navigate to the /max directory, open the
index.htm file and I see all the text and photos that should be on the page.
(There are about 16 paragraphs of text interspersed with 13 tables holding
thumbnails.) All this appears in Normal or Preview modes, but if I look at
the HTML tab all I see is the header stuff. and what displays if you attempt
to access that page. I'm assuming it's getting this off the website in the
first place, but I can't figure out how to make it regenerate the appropriate
HTML.

Any ideas? Thanks, again.

One more clue: I just noticed that if I click on a "Normal Page" from the
New From Template section I get a new page with ALL the missing stuff. So it
appears some how I got all this into the page template, but the server is for
some reason not aware of it (perhaps I did it when the extensions where
broken).

Either way, that raises the following questions: 1) How do I get this OUT
of a "normal" page, and 2) How do I preserve this for inclusion in a simple
page?

I've never fully understood how FP uses these templates and have stubbed my
toe on them more than once.

Thanks, again, for your help.
 
Steve:

Okay...one additional update: I created a new page, then in the little
blank window (surrounded by my missing stuff) I cut and pasted everything
that was supposed to be in there little-by-little from the other portions of
the page. So, now I have the page properly displaying
(www.lorendjones.com/max) but still get all that stuff when I click on a new
"normal" page template, so that remains the last stumbling block...clearing
that out.

Then, any tutorials you can recommend on understanding these templates would
be appreciated!

Thanks.
