FP2003 Template Locations

Instructions for moving Template and Theme files after FrontPage 2003 install:

Note: You may need to modify these instructions, if you have installed FrontPage on a different drive.

1) Find the FP2002 (earlier) Template and Theme files in your file structure. Look for the folders in the following locations.

FrontPage Theme folder - (typically contains three or four files with .inf and .elm files inside):

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Themes\<folder_name>

FrontPage Page Template folder - (.tem extension or _t extension, contains only one .htm file and possibly several .gif or .jpg files):

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office \Templates \1033 \Pages \<folder_name.tem>

FrontPage Web Template folder - (.tem extension, contains .inf and .map file along with several .htm files and other files):

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Webs\<folder_name.tem>

2) Copy the folders from the locations above to the corresponding FP2003 folders. This will make the files available in FP2003, FP2002, and earlier. There are two location options in FP2003. You can either copy the folders to your profile location or to the general FrontPage location. See both options below:

General FrontPage 2003 Template and Theme Location: Using this option will put Template files under the 'General' tab when selecting the template in FrontPage 2003, 2002, and earlier.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Pages11\<folder_name.tem>

FrontPage Web Template folder: 

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Webs11\<folder_name.tem>
