I am very new at this and am not even sure of the correct
vocabulary to use for what I need to do. I need to copy
(or download, or import, or publish?) my existing web site
into FrontPage so that I can get a report to check
hyperlinks, and make some corrections. I will then have
to copy (or upload, or export or publish?)the corrected
pages (only)back to our web site. I would like to know
how to do this and also if/how this will affect the actual
site (I assume it won't affect it at all until I put the
corrected pages back). Thanks.

Open the live version in FrontPage.
Select File > Publish and publish it to
a location on your machine.
Close the live version
Open the local version.
Make the changes and save.
Recalculate hyperlinks.
Select File > Publish and publish
back to the server. Make sure you
select "Publish Changed pages only"
 
Does the remote server have the FP extensions? If so then you can open the
site directly in FP, using File Menu | Open Web.
