Microsoft SharePoint DesignerWebsiteoffice.microsoft.com/frontpage/Microsoft FrontPage (also known as Microsoft Office FrontPage) is a discontinued WYSIWYG HTML editor and website administration tool from Microsoft for the Windows line of operating systems. It was branded as part of the Microsoft Office suite from 1997 to 2003. Microsoft FrontPage has since been replaced by Microsoft Expression Web and SharePoint Designer, which were first released in December 2006 alongside Microsoft Office 2007, but these two products were also discontinued in favor of a web-based version of SharePoint Designer, as those three HTML editors were desktop applications.
One of the notable features of FrontPage is its built-in support for automated web templates. The main distinction between these templates and HTML templates generated by other products is that FrontPage templates include an automatic navigation system that creates animated buttons for pages that have been added by the user. It also creates a multi-level navigation system on the fly using the buttons and the structure of the web site.

FrontPage was initially created by the Cambridge, Massachusetts company Vermeer Technologies Incorporated, evidence of which can be easily spotted in filenames and directories prefixed _vti_ in web sites created using FrontPage.[1] Vermeer was acquired by Microsoft in 1996 specifically so that Microsoft could add FrontPage to its product line-up.
FrontPage's initial outing under the Microsoft name came in 1996 with the release of Windows NT 4.0 Server and its constituent HTTPd server Internet Information Services 2.0. Bundled on CD with the NT 4.0 Server release, FrontPage 1.1 would run under NT 4.0 (Server or Workstation) or Windows 95, and was aimed at providing server administrators with a tool to deliver rich web and intranet content in a package as easy to use as Microsoft Word.
FrontPage used to require a set of server-side plugins originally known as IIS Extensions. The extension set was significantly enhanced for Microsoft inclusion of FrontPage into the Microsoft Office line-up with the 97 release and subsequently renamed FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE). Both sets of extensions needed to be installed on the target web server for its content and publishing features to work. Microsoft offered both Windows and Unix-based versions of FPSE. However, newer versions of FrontPage also support the standard WebDAV protocol for remote web publishing and authoring.
In 2006, Microsoft announced that FrontPage would eventually be superseded by two products.[2] Microsoft SharePoint Designer will allow business professionals to design SharePoint-based applications. Microsoft Expression Web is targeted at the web design professional for the creation of feature-rich web sites. Microsoft discontinued Microsoft FrontPage in December 2006.
The final version of FrontPage is Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003. The company has introduced two new products to replace Frontpage called Microsoft Expression Web and Microsoft SharePoint Designer. Previous versions include:
Microsoft Office has come to dominate the market for productivity suites, and beginning with the 1999 release of Office 2000, began talking about it as a platform for knowledge work. Office XP, released in 2001, started delivering on promised tools for knowledge work, with improved interfaces, usability and workflow options, as well as diverse tools for communication and collaboration. Designers even embedded rudimentary KM tools from text search to speech recognition to scanned document management.
At this writing, the latest version of the ubiquitous office suite, Microsoft Office 2003, is still in beta testing but due for release later this year. I have been playing with a relatively stable pre-release version for several months and see no reason to go back to the previous installation.
Office 2003 primarily focuses on improvements for enterprise users. For example, it makes more extensive use of Extensible Markup Language (XML). A new application in the suite, InfoPath, simplifies the creation of templates for Word or Excel documents so that structured data can be easily mined even from unstructured documents. The application also includes client software to connect with server-based rights management protocols to control access to documents.
Office 2003 includes a number of enhanced features for Tablet PC, such as direct annotation in Word and Excel. The beta release also includes another new application, OneNote, for entering, organizing and sharing typed, handwritten or even spoken notes. OneNote might be included in the final release of Office 2003 or sold separately. Although many others have found the freeform note-taking utility appealing, especially on a tablet PC, I found myself more comfortable sticking to Word for note-taking, especially since I can hyperlink local and Web documents so easily from there.
Microsoft understands that the office suite is the fundamental platform for knowledge work for most of us. But it needs to also remember that no matter how much broadband and wireless connectivity improves, none of us is online all the time.
