Frontpage 2002 theme sets

[proflk]

I am using Frontpage 2002 and XP. I cannot bring in additional theme sets. There is suppose to be a button when you get to page properties/background to do that, but I do not have that button.

When I download a theme set to use on my hard drive and go to the page view of Frontpage to bring it in to the page, it does nothing.

Hi & welcome to TechIMO!

Did you try Format -> Themes -> Apply Theme to Selected Pages or All Pages

See if that helps then post back.

The problem is when I use format/themes/apply theme I am only able to choose from the themes provided by MS Frontpage. I am not able to bring in a theme that I have downloaded. There is no button on the window that allows me to access themes I have downloaded.

Ok, sounds like an install error. Where did you get the themes from? Were the themes you downloaded executables that auto-installed when you ran them?

The web sets I am trying to use are downloads which have been saved to my hard drive. Many are zip files.

For instance, one I would like to use is from the following site:

Almost there!

Try this:
1: Close Frontpage if it is open.
2: Right click one of the downloaded .zip files -> explore -> look for a setup file(.exe file) and click it to begin auto-install process for each particular theme you would like to use.

Now, if you do not see a setup/exe/install file when you explore/extract the zip file could you list what in fact you do see? There could be special instructions for the exact theme you are trying to install that are available from the website you downloaded the files from.

*edit to add this* :

Well, hopefully everything worked out but if the contents within those .zip files will not allow you to install them, you can always install them manually. Microsoft will give you better instructions on how to do this then I can so here is a link:

Hope this helps.
