Re: HomeSite 4.5, PWS 4 and FP2K

Yes, my hope is to use both HomeSite and FrontPage to edit new pages and
pages created by the other.  I am hoping they can play together :-) If not,
I can always get back a copy of the page from my live web. I will start
though, by working in a test web, before I sacrifice real content!  I
definitely want to keep using FrontPage because of its site management and
publishing capabilities.
