Saving your settings before migrating to a new PC (FrontPage 2000/2002/2003)
If you're changing PCs, you can save your FrontPage settings (including customized menus, preferred file locations, and custom-dictionary entries) by using the Save My Settings Wizard, also known as the Office Profile Wizard.
In most cases, the wizard is installed when you install FrontPage or another Office application. To launch the wizard in Office XP (FrontPage 2002), click on the Start menu and choose All Programs | Microsoft Office Tools | Save My Settings Wizard. In Office 2003, the command is All Programs | Microsoft Office Tools | Microsoft Office 2003 Save My Settings Wizard. In FrontPage 2000, use All Programs | Microsoft Office Tools | Microsoft Office 2000 Resource Kit Tools | Profile Wizard.
If you don't find the wizard and you're running Office XP or 2003, use the Add/Remove Programs control panel device to install it. You'll need to have your Office or FrontPage CD handy. If you're running Office 2000, you can download the wizard, as part of the Office 2000 Resource Kit, from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;816003.
Watch out for incompatibility issues between versions of Photoshop (Photoshop 6/7/CS)
Although you can set a preference in Photoshop to maximize compatibility, unsupported features are discarded when you edit or save an image using an earlier version of Photoshop. For this reason, it's best to work and output your documents in the same version. Before you create a new document that will be viewed and/or printed by someone else, make sure you're working in the same version of Photoshop.
Watch out when using JPEG for CSS (10/CS)
Everyone’s favorite file format, JPEG, can get you into serious trouble with CSS layers. Think about how Illustrator layers are designed--an object sitting on a layer is visible, but the rest of the layer is transparent. This is also true in CSS layers, or can be.
When exporting your Illustrator layers, the Save For Web feature tries to crop in as close as possible to the objects in your document. This optimized image is always a rectangle, which means it contains your object plus some matting. If your image format supports transparency, it will be transparent in the matted area; if not, it will be filled with a color. In the case of a JPEG, which doesn’t support transparency, you’re have to surround the image with a color.
