Right, these instructions are poorly worded. They create a
new Web site, and not a new template.

Right. Navigation view doesn't analyze your HTML and draw
a diagram. Quite the contrary, in fact. The idea is that
you diagram the site by hand, and then a so-called "Link
Bar Based On Navigation Structure" component in each page
displays the corresponding links.

To display a diagram of existing links within your Web
pages, display Hyperlinks view rather than Navigation view.

The easiest way to add a template is to copy an existing one and rename it, then change the .inf file contents to reflect your
template and edit the template page(s)

For a web copy/ modify
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Webs\personal.tem
For a page copy/ modify
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Pages\normal.tem

| I'm not aware of a built-in method of adding templates to the list
| that appears in the Web Site Templates dialog box.
|
| It's obviously possible to add new Web Site Templates, because you can
| download them from the Web or buy them as third-party packages. This
| seems to be a developer-level function, however, and not something
| ordinary Web designers would do. I didn't find any documentation in
| the Offixe XP Developers's Guide, nor after browsing
| http://msdn.microsoft.com/library and opening Office Solutions
| Development and Microsoft Frontpage.
|
| As a practical matter, it's probbly easier to create one instance of
| your "starting point" Web site and then publish it to each additional
| location.
|
| Web *page* templates, of course, are easy. Just create the page,
| choose Save From the File menu, and set Save As Type to FrontPage
| Template.
