Hello Anne,
WElcome to Talkgraphics. You might want to repost this question here. In the webstyle forum. You will have a better chance of getting an answer there I think than here.
Thanks for trying to help

What is the process you are taking to place it in Frontpage?
Make sure anything you create in Webstyle is done THROUGH FRONTPAGE! First, make sure you have the Frontpage plug-in installed. If installed then do the following.
1) OPEN Frontpage and CREATE a new page or OPEN your existing page.
2)Go to the INSERT menu in Frontpage, click on INSERT, WEBSTYLE/4, then select what you want to insert.
3) WEBSTYLE/4 will automatically open. Open your project (design theme), complete any editing to any graphics, etc., then select SAVE GRAPHICS in WEBSTYLE/4. Click on SAVE in WEBSTYLE/4. This will take you automatically back to Frontpage with the design theme you created INSERTED into the page.
If you are still having problems, ensure that ALL of the components (themes, graphics, borders, navbars, etc.) you edited in WEBSTYLE/4 are in the SAME website sub-directory (Project Folder) that your web page resides. If you SAVED your WEBSTYLE/4 theme in a different sub-directory than where your web page resides, then you will NOT see it in Frontpage or any other HTML editor, for that matter.
RULE OF THUMB - When creating projects (THEME, NAVBAR, ETC.) in WEBSTYLE/4, ALWAYS GO THROUGH YOUR HTML EDITOR FIRST, TO CREATE, EDIT, INSERT, ETC. YOUR DESIGN COMPONENTS, THEN THEY WILL SHOW UP IN FRONTPAGE EVERYTIME.
REMEMBER, FRONTPAGE/DREAMWEAVER/or OTHER HTML EDITORS, USE THE WEBSTYLE PLUG-IN TO LINK (COMMUNICATE) WEBSTYLE/4 DESIGN COMPONENTS (THEMES, ETC.) INTO THE EDITOR.
Awww! The beauty of integration.
Let me know how it turns out.

That was nice of You Hockeysmart. Thanks...
I will stick with notepad... it is easier for me. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif
This was very nice of you. You have know idea how much this is "Appreciated". It has helped me more than you can imagine.
Bless you!!
Anne Hougaard
Another example of getting your design to show up "live" in Frontpage, by using Webstyle through your editor first. In this example, Navbars are the problem, but the resolution and rule of thumb is the same.

I have two websites and one of them I designed in FrontPage. It worked okay not cool looking or anything like that but functional.
So I started to follow all the advice I am getting in here and it has helped a lot. But here is my problem, I am using Frontpage to edit my websytle in. Has anyone heard of why it would take the first website that was designed in frontpage and completely overwrite it with the new one I am designing for another website?
My first website is web 3....My new one in frontpage is called web 22. But now they are both identical and they are on two different subjects. Does this mean that if I am using xara webstyle 4 that all my websites will be the same if I am using it to design a whole different website?
Anne
The only way I think this could happen is....
1) You opened Webstyle/4 within Frontpage with WEB 3 open. Created a new website, WEB 22, and selected the COPY option in Webstlye/4 when prompted, "Do you want to Copy webstyle theme layout components".
or
2) Both Webs are referencing the theme layout you created in Webstyle. Always remember to create NEW project in Webstyle when you create a new page or site.
If this isn't the case, I would need more specifics about your web directory's (WEB 3 & WEB 22) to further troubleshoot the problem.

Hi Ross,
I don't know what I did.
Here are the steps I did and maybe you can tell me if I am doing this all wrong.
I opened FP on my desktop, then I open Websytle 4. Next I choose my web design, selected and saved, then I edited in Websytle 4. I click save and gave the project a name, choose frontpage and save it as index.html. Then I choose other pages selected save and edited and named page 2 and so forth.
Next I dimished the websytle on my desktop opening FP. Went to the page I wanted to edit and went to insert and file and found my file and inserted it.
None of the menu bars work and none of the pages are hyperlink together like the ones in FP. Instead I am trying to figure how to hyperlink them so they all flow together.
I did the right 1000 and they look okay in browser it is getting it to work in fp that I am having a problem.
Hope this makes sense. Here is my private number if it helps to call. [removed]. Thanks for all your help so far. Don't know where else to turn.
Anne
Here is my email address and I can get more answers from you.

[Edited by AF. As people have said here, you really shouldn't post your phone number. I'll leave your email on if you want to give that... I don't think you should post email addies becaus spam bots can get them, but that's your prerogative.]
Anne i cant help you with your problem but i can give you some advice. take your phone number and email off this post and send him a private message with that info. never know who or what lurks around here.
Yea, Maybe some twisted sick and perverted person like me... http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
John
How are you? I don't think your twisted yet http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif Just need so more help can you send your website via here again. Need to contact you. Privately. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif To resolve the problems I am having.
Anne http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
Anne,
No! Please don't ever post your email, number, or any private information on any bulletin board forum. These guys are correct. Unfortunately, there are some twisted and sick people out there.
Now...if you want to get your issue resolved privately, just click on the person's name and invite them to a private topic discussion. This is the best way to handle your situation, as the troubleshooting measures that may need to be taken could fill up a forum topic unecessarily.
Through the private discussion ,only then you can agree to swap email addresses, numbers, etc.
I know you are requesting help, but this is the best way to achieve it, when dealing with a potentially complex problem.
Let me know if you need my help. There are many that can help solving your problem.
Thanks,
Hockeysmart
Anne,
Please come back to this topic and edit your post (click on the yellow folder with the eraser) at the bottom-right corner or your post and remove your personal information.

From your post, it sounds like you opened Front page, then opened Webstyle. You need to have front page open webstyle, so it can grab the links and menubars and such, by going to insert webstyle. Ross (hockeysmart) knows this stuff much better than I. I do not use either program, but I am trying to help.

I talked with Ross on the phone and he told me how to fix the problems I was having. I am going to go an read how to turn websytle into a frontpage template here shortly.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Guess what I lost everything in my computer by a email virus. Not funny. Lost all my webpages and I forgot what you told me to do.
I have redesigned my website in webstyle 4 and now I am trying to get it to load in frontpage 03 how do I do that again? This time I am going to copy and print your advise.
Anne Hougaard
John,
It has been a while. Got hit by a very bad virus online in my email this past weekend. Had to buy a new hard drive. Couldn't even format the old one. It was fried.
Anyway I am trying to load my new website into frontpage from webstyles and forgot how to do it. Can you help?
Anne
Just load on a version of Linux on that ole drive, and this will take care of those format concerns... you should then be able to install windows from cd, upon formatting for windows... don't forget to partition... http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
Hi Anne,
Sorry to hear about your hard drive going out to lunch... When you relaoded all your software, you loaded WS after loading FP right?
Then all you need do is open FP and use the insert command to launch WS... I think tthat should help.
Hi John
Thanks for emailing me back. What does having to load fp before ws have to do with how it works? Need to know. I have been having to load each and every piece of my webpage one piece at a time, logo then menus then heading. It will not load the graphics folder I have to load everything into it manually. It has been a pain in the neck. I have email xara three separate times in 72 hours they have not wasted their time to get back with me on this problem. I read all their material and watched all their movies.
One suggestion I would make to them is they need new movies showing exactly how to load WS into frontpage instead of just the menus. Save them a lot of tickets and a lot of everyone elses time. I sat here with my business not producing for nearly a week. I wonder if they are even aware of the problems.
Anyway that is what happen to me. Understand the virus is nationwide. You don't even have to open the email. As soon as you open your email program the virus launches itself.
Thanks again.
Anne
P.S. I needed a bigger harddrive anyway. Christmas just came a little earlier. So something good did come out of it. And I bet you Xara support will not email me again today!

No it won't they tried it. The harddrive was fried! Got a new one, put me out a couple of hundred dollars. Needed a bigger one anyway.
From what I understand the virus is nationwide. I put a virus protection and firewalls up now and that should hopefully protect us.
Thanks
Anne
I do not run FP or WS, so it is hard to tell exactly what to do. From what I have read here in the forums, Frontpage needs to be loaded onto your computer first, so webstyle can load the "hooks" in so Frontpage can call Webstyle.
When rebuilding the pages you need to have front page open webstyle so it knows to put the output of webstyle into your FP pages.
On a new hard drive, sounds like you where taken to the cleaners. I just put a new computer together and picked up 2 250 Gig Harddrives for $129 a pop. If you paid any more than that, you got taken.
I would be willing to bet your email client is outlook or outlook express. those are the most common email clients and are really bad. They have so many expliotable holes in them it is hard for an antivirus program to keep your machine clean. I would strongly suggest using another email client there are about 40 or fifty out there. Some are free, some charge a little bit. I like calypso or netscape communicator. I have heard the email client that comes with firefox is rather good but have not really checked it out.
Hi Anne,
John is correct. Frontpage must be installed on your hard drive before installing WebStyle. Frontpage isn't designed to look for Webstyle when it installs so it won't do anything to make it available. When Webstyle is installed it looks to see if Frontpage and I think it also looks for Dreamweaver. If it find either or both it will do what is necessary to register itself as a plugin for those programs. If Webstyle is already installed before Frontpage or Dreamweaver it doesn't have a way that I'm aware of to hook itself into those programs.
Hello
It was installed before FrontPage, but I took it out and then installed frontpage 2003 then installed WS. It still does not find the product.
I am about to asked for all my money back because I just can not get it do, what it is suppose to do.
Anne
hi Anne,
okay... Did you remove webstyle by remove programs or did you just delete the directory for it in programs. Look carefully at the install screens. On MM it asks you if you have FP or dreamweaver. I would assume the installer for Webstyle is the same. Make sure you say yes so webstyle can install the hooks in frontpage.
I went into contol panel and removed it and then into regedit and removed it from my registry.
Anne
I never asked for FrontPage or Dreamweaver.
Anne
Have you asked in the webstyle forum. Because your problem is beyond my limited knowlege. I would love to help more, but I am at a loss. I own neither program, and it makes it hard for me to tell you what to do next.
