I'm going to summarize the above. When working in FP's WYSIWYG mode, there are various things you want to see while developing pages. To do that, you'll want to get comfortable in using these keyboard shortcuts. Actually, the first one, Show All you should have on at all times, or at least 99% of the time.

Ctrl + Shift + * - Show All
Ctrl + / - Reveal Tags

The second one, Reveal Tags, will come into play when you want a visual of your semantic html markup. It is also a key feature when you are performing cut and paste routines. When Reveal Tags is selected, you can now click on the starting or ending tag for each element to grab the whole tag and not just parts of it. This has been a major flaw in most WYSIWYG programs. If you were just cutting and pasting without the Reveal Tags command on, there is a chance that you are going to leave behind tags, especially form tags that are outside the element you are copying. I've seen it happen time and time again.

Remember, these two keyboard shortcuts will help you to work with FrontPage in WYSIWYG mode more efficiently.

Another major advantage to using the Reveal Tags command is that you can select the tag, then switch to HTML view and the HTML will be selected for you. No hunting for the starting or ending tag, FP will select and highlight it for you. :)
