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.

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