I am making a website for a client using Frontpage 2003 (still using 2000 but
I will be purchasing the upgrade 2003) who would like to be able to add text
etc. to the website themselves directly. How can I enable them to do this?
Can they use the File - Edit with Word? Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thank you.
 
Avoid Word unless you want to make a fortune cleaning up the mess.

The best method of allowing clients to add content in a controlled
manner is to use a CMS (Content Management System) such as Contentseed
(http://contentseed.com)
 
If you want them to "add text etc. to the website themselves directly" then
they will need a web edditing program such as FrontPage, Dreamweaver, Nvu,
etc and you will have to provide them with the username and password to
access the site. Avoid Word!
 
Do this; rebuild the site using include files (ASP include, JavaScript, or
something)

Teach the user to upload PLAIN TEXT FILES EDITED WITH NOTEPAD using WebDav.
(Which is the built in protocol that can hook into a FrontPage web site
using "My Network Places".

Or, just get a CMS.

BTW, if you have to ask this question, you are probably already in over your
head as far as implmenting it, so I'd say go with the CMS.
