The Duffield link works, although your graphics links are *broken*. (I can
grin--you can tear your own hair out) These are links you need to change to
*other* in FPE, then eliminate the code that directs the browser to look for
them on your C:\ drive. For your first graphic, you have
<.p align="center"><.img
src="file:///C:/Program%20Files/Microsoft%20FrontPage%20Express/JOYAL/moyrah
eartrosebar.gif"
width="385" height="69"><./p>

It should be:
<.p align="center"><.img src="moyraheartrosebar.gif" width="385"
height="69"><./p>

Now -- how to change that -- Open the page in FPE and from the menu, choose
VIEW>HTML. This will display the underlying code for the page. Scroll down
to the code you want to edit. In this case, highlight everything between
*img src="* and *moyraheartrosebar.gif"* Delete it. Click OK. This will
return you to the WYSISYG view of your page. Everything should appear
pretty much as it did before, but you have corrected the link. SAVE this
revised version of the page before exiting.


The Capital letter is tripping you up on the Jacques link. You have written
the link to:
<.a href="jacques.htm"><.font
color="#800080" size="6" face="Blackletter686 BT">Background -
Jacques Jouiel<./font><./a>

Where the file is named "Jacques.htm" (with a capital *J*).
