The FrontPage 2000 workspace has three major sections in its default: the View Bar, the Folder List and the Right window where the various FrontPage views appear. If you find the workspace cramped you can turn off the View bar. By default the Page View is selected in the Views bar and the right displays the new page.

	Page View

The Views Bar appears by default down the left side of the screen. From here you can access the various web pages; you can do the same from the view menu on the menu bar. You can't move the Views Bar, but you can hide it. To do so, right-click any where on the Views Bar and select Hide Views Bar.

When you open a document file in Page view, the contents of the web or non-web folder in which that document resides appear in the Folder View. These contents are presented as a list of folders and documents; the folders are collapsible. The Folder View lets you easily access any file within the folder for editing, without having to switch from the Page view to the Folders view.

You can think of Page view as the "Editor". Page View displays the individual page you're working on, allowing you to make changes or adjustments to the item on that page. One of the most powerful aspects of Page view is that you can use the tabs running along the bottom bar to switch between editing panes or modes.

This is your standard editing pane it's the visual editor without the HTML. Anyone who doesn't know HTML can use this mode for designing web.

In this pane, you can actually get to the meat of the matter the HTML code. You can make changes to the code directly or see how the code has been altered by changes made in the visual editor.

Here is where you get to check out your page as it will look once published! It shows final results of the page with no code or editing marks.

If you open a page in Page View the right-hand end of the status bar will show a message such as "9 seconds over 28.8". This tells you that the page (theoretically) will take nine seconds to download from its server to the user's machine. It also displays the name of the bookmark (hyperlinked destination) when you place the cursor over the link.
