If you use Shared Borders and go to insert
WordArt, or another Vector Markup Language (VML) item, you may
find that the WordArt commanded is greyed out (unavailable), or
nothing appears when you do insert the image. This is because of
the way the browser renders shared borders, and the way in which
VML requires a page to be written, this cannot be done using
FrontPage in the conventional manner.
To get around this, you will have to manually
insert the WordArt into the border page that FrontPage creates.
To do this, follow these steps:
-
Make sure hidden files and folders are
available:
-
On the Tools menu, point to Web
Settings, then click the Advanced Tab.
-
Select the "Show Hidden Files and Folders"
check box, then click OK.
-
You will be prompted by FrontPage to refresh the
web - click OK.
-
You will now see a folder called
_borders folder, open the page called Top.htm.
-
On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then on
click WordArt.
-
Select the style that you require and type in the
text you want.
-
Save Top.htm and then open any page that
has a shared border.
-
NOTE: you will not be able to see the
WordArt image in the shared border.
-
Now, with the insertion point in the body of the
page, on the Insert Menu - point to Picture, then
click WordArt.
-
Select the style, and then press SPACEBAR
once for the text - do not add the text yourself.
-
Save the page.
-
On the File menu, click Preview in Browser, and
then view the page in IE5 or later. You will now see your WordArt
in the shared border.
