I started building web pages sometime in the mid 90s, along with everyone else. The first thing I did was a very simple page built out of HTML code typed into a text editor. Easy-peasy. Kind of clunky, but it worked. Then I got Adobe's PageMill (v 2.0) and started getting a bit fancier, with tables and whatnot. (Why PageMill? It was cheap, simple, and I like Adobe products.) Still, I kept it pretty basic, and was always running to the HTML screen to tweak things. In fact, this was my only complaint about PageMill -- it would rearrange my HTML to suit itself and not me (making all the tags upper case, for example), but usually not in major ways.

Then, the company web site got turned over to someone else for a while. Then turned back to me.

In the intervening time, the other person had ported it to Microsoft FrontPage.

I tried to make a go of working with his design, I really did. He'd added all sorts of fanciness, like substituting little pictures for the bullets, and font schemes (in a font I really disliked) and universal top and side menu bars, and so on. But after slogging through the bog for a while I decided that it would actually be faster to simply redo everything in PageMill again.

FrontPage (that edition anyway) was the worst program I have ever tried to use. Ever.

Yes, worse than PowerPoint, which at least behaves in a predictable manner. It just wreaks havoc upon the world by encouraging those with no clue how to organize a presentation, to do so anyway.
(hint: reading the exact text of your slide show at the same time that you are showing your slide show does not make for an entertaining and informative presentation.)

Trying to use FrontPage was like trying to play catch with a water balloon -- every time I thought I had it, it would squirm out of my grasp in some completely unexpected way. I would change things, think I had saved them, and then they would be back the way they used to be the next time I opened the file. I would try to turn off absolutely every automatic doodad, so that FrontPage wouldn't put anything there that I hadn't expressly told it to put there, and I would still open up my pages and find them full of inexplicable things. Nothing about this program was intuitive or sensible. I was less baffled when I tried to use a Japanese version of PageMaker on an outdated Macintosh.

I shook my head, moved on, and never really thought about it again.

A few years later, at another company, a co worker was making some changes to her parents' web site. She was using their copy of FrontPage, since that's what they would be using to keep it updated. She was frustrated by something she couldn't get it to do and called me over to see if I could help. I did manage to help, but I discovered something in the process.

Front Page was STILL the worst program I have ever tried to use. Ever.

The main thing I don't get about Front Page, is that its intended audience seems to be people who don't know anything about HTML. And yet, my co-worker was helping her parents, because they couldn't get it to do what they wanted. And I was helping my co-worker because she couldn't get it to do what she wanted. At each stage, a more experienced HTML programmer had to be called in to figure out how to get FrontPage to behave. Not somebody more experienced in FrontPage, somebody more knowledgable about HTML.

So I can't figure out how you're supposed to use this program. My best guess is, set up your web site using one of their built-in templates and then never change the design again.

(Although I have since learned that newer editions of FrontPage make it easier to turn off all the automatic shenanigans and use it as a regular HTML editor, which is good, but man -- it took 'em long enough.)
