Compatibility with Front Page XP

Is there a reason why webpages made with Front Page XP
show differently in Front Page 2003?

Anyway, what is the difference between Front Page 2003 and
Publisher 2003!

I've never seen a Front Page 2003 icon in my Office 2003.

Thanks,

Luis

There is no Frontpage xp per se, although many call it that, only FrontPage 2003.

FrontPage is a WUSIWYG web designer tool, Publisher is a DTP.

I've never seen a Front Page 2003 icon in my Office 2003.

Because you don't have it installed. It does not come with Office 2003, must be purchased seperately

Thanks,

Luis

Office XP ( which had FP) was also known as Office 2002
Office 2003 is a newer version, and FP is not part of any
Office 2003 suite

As for the differences, I cannot tell you. I am still using
2000 :(

Publisher vs FP
Publisher is primarily used for desktop publishing. FP is
for Web publishing.

Publisher (like Word) can do a webpage, but the code has
serious issues with being bloated. Anytime publisher has
overlapping elements, it al becomes an image file. WordArt
which is so popular with Word & Publisher is written in VML,
which has poor support in other browsers. I don't believe
publisher accepts any scripting languages, so all you can
get is static webpages.
