Things that FrontPage Express can't do:
-
Paste or Drag& Drop Content From Office files. While you can do this in FrontPage, you cannot do this in FrontPage Express. The text does come in, but with a lot of code that you'll have to edit out in HTML view. Best bet is to save your Office document as "text" and then paste it in. You'll have to format in FrontPage Express.
- Appears to be no way of producing 'nested lists' without using HTML directly.
- If you explicitly mark some text as 'align left' instead of default alignment (which is left), any list items will have a paragraph spacing. Work-around is to remove the explicit 'align left'.
- You must select the Formatted style before copying material into the editor. If you try to apply the style after pasting in material, you loose multiple spaces.
- FrontPage has a Preview in Browser feature but FrontPage Express does not.
- FrontPage Express has no support for CSS (stylesheets), Dynamic HTML, or frames.
