>>isn't this just the place for those guys who inherit FP problems to come looking for practical solutions<<

I certainly hope so. :)

Re getting rid of the nav structure (and dumping FrontPage), great minds think alike. That's what I suggested to the webmaster right after he told me about the problem, but...

The site is using FP themes, which, as I understand it, is what creates all those (large and ugly) graphic buttons that give the page both its top header and its navigation buttons (they call it the nav bar). So if you drop all that, the site suddenly has no graphics, and the poor webmaster, who's really just an innocent bystander in all this, has to become a graphics design artist and build all sorts of graphics throughout the site... as well as, I'm guessing, learn tables.

I haven't looked carefully, but I think I could probably right-click now on all the existing graphics and download them. If anyone ever made changes to the site, though, they'd be back to zero on the whole design. Since I don't have the program at hand (nor do I want it), I have no idea whether those little banner backgrounds (for the links and top page title) are accessible inside the program.

So, what to do? Clearly, anyone who tries to optimize a site in FrontPage should think twice. Alas, I've already gone down that road... and since thought four or five times. I'm older and wiser, but am I able to finish this project?
