What's the difference between FP and FP DWT?

Article ID: KB101636

Question: What's the difference between a FrontPage template and a FrontPage DWT template?

Answer: A "FrontPage template" is a standard web template where everything on each page is fully editable, from the content to the layout. A "FrontPage DWT" (Dynamic Web Template) is a relatively new feature of FrontPage 2003+ that combines a "master template" concept with web pages. The master template, which is a .dwt file, has the layout locked against editing and defines certain areas to allow content editing. On a normal .htm or .html page based on the master template, you can edit the content areas but cannot mess up the layout.

To learn more about DWTs, and to see the pros-and-cons of FrontPage templates versus FrontPage DWTs, please click on the links below.

(Note: A page based on a DWT can be turned into a fully editable "normal" page very easily by detaching the master template.)
