single or multiple pages on which information can be shared, statically or interactively.

computer you want to use for this exercise. It is assumed that the computer you are using

meets the minimum system requirements for .rontPage 2000 (if you have the full version

of  Microsoft  Office  2000  installed,  then  .rontPage  2000  and  Internet  Explorer  5.0  are

already installed). .or more information in case you are not sure, please visit the .rontPage

installed on your computer, you can still safely install Microsoft Internet Explorer. When

designing web pages, you will find that it is actually beneficial to test your work in more

than one type of web browser, before you publish your website.
