FrontPage, especially earlier versions, has a tendency to modify the source code of web pages without your knowledge or control. If the web page in question is simple html, then the side effects of FrontPage's "tampering" may be minimal and you may never notice. On complex asp pages using style sheets and such, the results can be catastrophic and may keep your page from working at all. Therefore, you shouldn't edit those types of pages (like this forum) using FrontPage.
