Frontpage Shared Border Question

I am updating a frontpage site and there is a shared border across the bottom of all the pages.

My question is, how do I alter the content within the shared border for only a single page without altering the content for every page? I select Format/Shared Borders and then choose to apply to current page, but it still updates all pages. Everything I seem to try edits the content for the entire site...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you do it manually in the code or just open the page and edit it in layout mode?

You can't. The shared borders function similar to includes. You have one file that is referenced across multiple pages. Any time you make a change to that shared border, it will update across all pages that access that shared border.

The only way around this is to turn shared borders off for that page and then create the new footer or whatever it is that you need to change. I believe you can turned off just the footer shared border for that page, not 100% sure on this since I've never used the Shared Borders feature. I'm strictly an FP Include type of guy.

Thanks for the advice.

I ended up doing exactly what pageoneresults stated in his or her post.

talking about FP shared borders, the code that's used to define them <meta name="Microsoft Border" content="b, default"> is not w3c compliant. the token has to be one word and microsoft border is two words. Any clue as to how i might do a work around - aside adding in the border content to the bottom of each and every page on my site?
