This article describes how to add subwebs to a Web and how to create links to

MORE INFORMATION
================

Creating a SubWeb
-----------------

FrontPage 97 and FrontPage 1.1:

1. Start FrontPage Explorer.

2. On the File menu, point to New and then click FrontPage Web.

3. In the create Wizards Or Template dialog box, click Normal Web, and then
  click OK.

4. In the New FrontPage Web dialog box, type the host location of the web. For
  example, type "localhost" or "c:\webs" (without the quotation marks). By
  entering a name in the "Name of Destination FrontPage Web" box, you are
  creating a subWeb with that name. Click OK.

FrontPage 1.0:

1. From Windows File Manager or Windows Explorer, create a folder in the
  c:\Content folder. For example, if you created a Web called Main, you should
  have a folder called C:\Content\Main. If you then add a folder in Main called
  Subweb, you will have a folder called C:\Content\Main\SubWeb. After you
  create this folder, move or copy your files to this folder.
