I've noticed that there is no FrontPage 2007 in the new suite of Office
programs. Why is this?
 
Frontpage has been discontinued in favor of a new program, Expression Web.
FP was only included in a very, very few office suites many years ago.

The Future of FrontPage:

Microsoft Expression Newsgroups:
microsoft.public.expression.webdesigner
microsoft.public.expression.discussion
microsoft.public.expression.interactivedesigner

**Continued support for FrontPage 2003:

Currently, mainstream support will not be retired until 1-13-2009. Extended
support will not be retired until 1-14-2014.

PRevious versions of Office never included Frontpage either, except for the
"premium" editions.
 
is there a page to download a trial of Expression web? The pages on MSN.com
keep coming to a 'I'm sorry but this page has expired or no longer excists'
page.

Shame...

Shame MS dumped FrontPage really it was beginning to get good in the 2003 version. Unfortunately the replacement is not very clever - it has a tendency to run like a dog and crash every 5 minutes. So at present the replacement is best described as very poor...

It's also not as user friendly as FrontPage was - but is perhaps trying to be a slightly more professional package.
