Hardware / Software Requirements
You need
- A PC with a 75 MHz Pentium or higher processor with 24 megabytes (MB) of Random Access Memory (RAM). (A Pentium 90 with 32 MB of RAM or better is recommended.)
- 500 MB of free hard-drive space. (Windows NT only: At least 4 MB of available space in the Registry.)
- Either a local CD-ROM drive or access to a networked CD-ROM drive for installation purposes.
- A 3.5"-disk drive.
- A two-button mouse, trackball, or equivalent pointing device.
- A VGA or higher display adapter (the EGA display adapter is not supported).
- An installed printer driver. (Printers are not required; however, each PC must have an installed printer driver to use Print Preview.)
- Microsoft Windows 95 or later, or Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or later installed.
- Microsoft Personal Web Server—install before you install the Microsoft Office 2000 Premium suite for the best results. Note: This course will not run correctly without the Personal Web Server software, which can be downloaded free from the Microsoft Web site. (See the Personal Web Server installation section below.)
- A full installation of Microsoft Office 2000 Premium.
- An Internet connection with access to the World Wide Web. The connection is necessary to complete some tasks and Web Tips throughout the book. (Note: Internet access may require payment of a separate fee to a service provider.)
- This course was developed using the Windows 98 platform; however, the manufacturer’s documentation states that FrontPage 2000 can also run on Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or higher installed, though some of the screen displays might be slightly different.
- Additionally, we used Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 in conjunction with the Microsoft Personal Web Server with FrontPage Extensions enabled. Tasks that use Office Web components, cascading style sheets, ActiveX controls, or VBscript may not produce the desired results if you use earlier versions of Internet Explorer, other browsers, or servers.
Performance-Based Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Apply Web site design considerations when creating a Web site with a wizard. Students will also be able to add and modify structural elements in an existing web.
