>>> He got back to me and said that the page title also appeared in the page heading graphic up at the top and in the "nav bar" down below, and that my titles were too long to fit. <<<

If he didn't originally set up his pages in Frontpage's navigation view, when he does this later it does in fact use the page title. All he needs to do is rename these in the navigation view to what he wants showing on his navigation buttons - using tab this will only take a minute to do. This does not in any way change his meta page titles.

Search engines treat these navigation buttons the same as other ones made with javascripts ....which AFAIK some will follow those links, some will not. There is no need to get rid of them (unless the graphics just plain stink :)) It always makes sense to add in text links for navigation in addition to any graphic ones.

Jeez! After reading through that again, I really have to wonder if maybe that's how he's trying to change the page title? All he needs to do is copy the metas you gave him and paste them into the html view. grnidone
is right - it's your job to tell him what to change, but not how to do it. If he needs help with making the changes (beyond what I posted and the tutorial G posted) have him drop in at www.frontpagewebmaster.com and ask for help.
