I'm sorry, I used the wrong word. I have a file in my web
called index.htm and it used to have the 'home' Icon on it.
After I published it online to a server the online website
worked fine but my local web (on my hard drive) lost the
home button on every page. The 'home' Icon was no longer
on my file in the Navigation view. I went to the foldeer
view and right clicked on the index.htm file so that I
could click "set as home page" but that option was NOT on
the menu!! It is not an option that shows up when I right
click on ANY file.
I have several other webs on Front Page that I am
experimenting with and EVERY one of them has index.htm set
as the home page (complete with the 'home' Icon on the Nav
view page) and when the folder is right clicked in the
folder view it HAS the option to 'set as home page'.
I am having to re-write my entire website and am becoming
more and more disillusioned with Front Page. My instructor
on web design doesn't know what the problem is, the IT
expert at our college can't figure out what the problem is
and I've had several responses from this forum and no one
can give me any suggestions other than to right click on
the index.htm file in folder view and choose 'set as home
page' - which, of course, is NOT an option on this
particular web!
If there IS no solution and this is just some glitch in
Front Page, please let me know and I will stop trying to
find a solution and finish re-writing my web. BUT I'd
rather find a solution and save myself many hours of work.
Thank you,
Kate
