Frontpage 2002 to MS Office 2007 Publisher

[DietDrThunder]

I've inherited the car club I belong to website. The previous website developer got mad at some club members and quit. He used Frontpage 2002. Needless to say I don't have Frontpage but I do have MS Office 2007 Publisher. Does anyone know if you can import frontpage into publisher? If not, is there any web development software that isn't expensive that will import frontpage?

Thanks

P.S. My only previous website development was a personal website I created many years ago writing html in a text editor, so I don't know squat about the modern tools.

Unless he was using frontpage extensions to power the site, you shouldn't have any problem just opening the HTML files in another program and editing to your hearts content.

Front page defaults to .htm file format and per this info at Microsoft
your publisher should be able to open it or .html and retain all formating.

Publisher will open the file formats listed below. In most cases, Publisher can preserve the character and paragraph formatting of text.

• Hypertext Markup Language (files with an .html, .htm, .mhtml, or .mht extension)
• Unicode (Unicode: A character encoding standard developed by the Unicode Consortium. By using more than one byte to represent each character, Unicode enables almost all of the written languages in the world to be represented by using a single character set.) text
• Microsoft Word 97-2002
