My preview view always functioned properly till just a few weeks ago. It
still functions when I'm online, but not offline. When I click Preview, I get
the message - This page cannot be displayed. I get this message when I try to
preview the first two-thirds of my site, the first 12 pages. The Preview view
works for the last 6 pages though.

I am using FrontPage 2003. The only thing structurally I changed in the last
three weeks were some file names, getting rid of the %20 symbol. I did this
by removing a space in the file name.

Could this lack of Preview view be an indication that something is wrong
functionally with my website?
 
Open your web and recalculate hyperlinks.

I was wrong. Recalculating the hyperlinks did not solve my problem. The
reason I thought it did is that I was online when I tested the Preview view.
The online Preview always worked.

Could this be the source of the problem? In the Design view the file for one
of my pages is: biology_of_baldness.htm. In the Preview view it is:
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/My%20Documents/My%20Webs/HR1/biology_of_baldness.htm.
All my pages in Preview have this elaborate file name. Is this normal or is
something wrong with the structure of my website?

My site looks OK in Design view and It looks OK on the Internet -
www.hairloss-reversible.com.
 
The file path you showed means you edited a page without having your web open first.
You should always open FrontPage, then your web, and then a page.
