There is a growing interest in Linux and these days it's easier 
than ever to try.  Some people want to get more power from 
their computer.  Some are fed up with slow, crash-prone 
Microsoft Windows 98, and some to avoid the pain and cost of 
Windows XP "activation codes."  
For these people, its time to consider using Linux.  
Whatever your reason, in just a few minutes it's possible to 
try Linux, even on a machine running Microsoft Windows 
(and it won't erase your Windows.)  
Below are some common questions and step-by-step 
instructions with lots of screenshots to guide you through 
the process.

Tina's FrontPage Tips, by Tina Clarke

Follow that Hyperlink

You can 'Follow a hyperlink'

When your editing a page you can follow a hyperlink which
will open up the destination page or file. So when you have
created a hyperlink you can test it straight away.

Though FrontPage follows the hyperlink differently,
depending on the destination:

If the destination is a page, FrontPage opens the page for
editing in Page view.
If the destination is a bookmark, FrontPage opens the page
and scrolls down to the bookmark.
If the destination is a file, FrontPage opens the file in
its associated editor. For example, FrontPage opens a text
file in Notepad.
If the destination is not in the current web, FrontPage
opens a copy of the destination page or file.


In Page view, Select and then right-click the hyperlink, and
then click 'Follow Hyperlink' on the pop up box.

NOTE:  You can also press and hold CTRL, and then click the
hyperlink to follow it.
If you followed a hyperlink to another page, click Back to
return to the original page.

Need an Address
Need an email address but don't want to wait for your MS email
client to open?  Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express actually
make use of a small Microsoft program called Windows Address Book
to store contact information. You can access Address Book at any
time by choosing Start, Run, typing wab, and pressing Enter.  

Note: if you do not have Outlook/OutlookExpress installed the
windows address book will probably not be there either.

however no virus scanner is 100% effective as manufactures cannot keep up with
