Front Page 2002 comes with 67 themes that can be applied
either to the whole website or to individual pages. You can even
use more than one Theme in the same website on different pages.
Various elements within your web will then have a consistent
look to them. Your pages will have co-ordinated graphical
elements, font styles, colors etc.
When you apply a Theme to your website, FrontPage creates some
hidden folders with all the theme information in. To view these
folders click on Tools/Web Settings - then the Advanced
Tab. Check the box that says show hidden files and folders.

FrontPage will then say it needs to refresh the web ... let
it. You will now be able to see the folders in folders view.
If you modify any part of the Theme, on the Modify dialog box
you will see two buttons, Save and Save As.

After the first modification you make, click on the Save As
button and save the Theme under a different name.
You will now be working with that copy. Any further
modifications, then you can just click on the Save button.
The modified Theme will now be available should you wish to make
further modifications, use it for other webs or to remind you of
any settings made, whilst preserving the original Theme.
Once you have applied the Theme to your web, you
can at a later stage change to a different Theme or remove it
altogether. Just click on Format/Theme on the main toolbar
to call up the Theme Wizard.

Any customisation to a Theme is applied to all
pages using that Theme. You cannot change an item of the Theme
and only apply that change to selected pages. The Theme itself
can be applied to individual pages, but not the modifications -
they are global. If you wish some modifications to be applied to
only selected pages, then save the Theme under a different name
with those new modifications, applying the new Theme to the
required pages.
