SYMPTOMS
========

Chapter 12 of "Microsoft Office 97 Integration Step by Step," deals with
publishing Office documents on the World Wide Web, and makes extensive use of a
program called Microsoft FrontPage. A note on page 236 states that you can
download FrontPage from a Microsoft Web site. However, the Web site does not
include an area to download FrontPage.

CAUSE
=====

Microsoft has recently changed its distribution policies for FrontPage.
FrontPage is no longer available as a free download from the Web.

WORKAROUND
==========

As of June 10, 1998, Microsoft is currently offering a 45-day trial version of
Microsoft FrontPage 98. This trial version offers the full functionality of
FrontPage, but will expire 45 days after the program is installed.

For information on the trial version of FrontPage, please see the FrontPage Web
site:

  http://www.microsoft.com/FrontPage/

NOTE: Because the trial version of FrontPage currently offered is FrontPage 98,
not FrontPage 97, there may be some differences between the product and the
description in the text.

STATUS
======

Microsoft Press has confirmed this to be a problem in "Microsoft Office 97
Integration Step by Step."

MORE INFORMATION

Correction:
Page 236, inline note, change to read as follows:

   NOTE: You can order a trial copy of FrontPage at:
