[thelist] Templates

[Schaz]

I've just finished a contract where as part of my job I had to create 
templates (in FP2000) for news bulletins (SOE of the place is M$). The 
templates utilised SSI, linked CS & JS files. Other than the clunky way FP 
saves templates (1 folder & 3 files in the profile directory of the user) 
it wasn't that bad.

I *LOATHE* FP code with a vengeance but a few things had to be taken into 
consideration with this task:
1. SOE of department - ALL microshaft
2. users who have little-or-no web design experience (and have only usually 
done a 1 day FP course)
3. I attempted to make a word template to save as a web page but the code 
was soooo bloated it was impossible.

The help files are pretty ok with describing how to create a FP template.
