TITLE   :Off97 SBS: MS FrontPage No Longer Available For Download
PRODUCT :Microsoft Press
PROD/VER:
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:kbdocerr

======================================================================
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Office 97 Integration Step by Step
---------------------------------------------------------------------

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:
