USING INCLUDES IN FRONTPAGE 2003
(EMBEDDING A WEBPAGE WITHIN A WEBPAGE)

I

Includes and shared borders have the same goals:  to avoid repeatedly typing/inserting routine text and images.  Although a website can have only one shared border, a website can use multiple includes. Look at this example:  starke.mcsdga.net.  The repeated content is the table of menu links.  A change in the menu document automatically appears in every linked page. (NOTE: A WordArt graphic can be used in an include.)

To embed a small portion of a webpage (like a menu or a news announcement) in another webpage, both pages must be part of the same website and the author-time web components must be enabled. When you click Insert | Web Components, check to see that the Web Components dialog box offers Included Content.  If it does not, click Tools | Page Options | Authoring.  Select the Author-time Web Components check box.

First, create a webpage that contains the text and/or image(s) you want repeated.  Name it something that makes sense to you.  In the GaETC example, I named this webpage menu.htm.  Next, in each page that will display the included content, place your insertion point exactly where you want the included content to go and follow the commands: INSERT | WEB COMPONENT | INCLUDED CONTENT | PAGE.  Browse to the page with the content.  You can also format the include, but if you use style sheets (css), that is sometimes unnecessary.
