I'm guessing your slicing it up and then using Save for Web... ?

If this is he case you can't edit the text in front page. It is exported as a series of images the html just gives the structure for piecing these images back together. To edit the text you have to go into photoshop and re-export.

Try leaving off the text and using frontpage *spit* to add it later

Frontpage *spit* is evil!

Delete the table cell containing the text then type it in with something else.

And look into an editor other than Frontpage *spit* - you'll notice that Web designers can't even say Frontpage *spit* without spitting.

You will have to manually edit your code to get it to be exactly how you want it. Photoshop slice and web combined with FrontPage is not going to give optimal (or even good) results for the web. I'd say do it the old-school way : open up notepad and go to town.

EEK! I did everything in notepad for a few years but it's a horrible way compared to DW... Having said that it's a good way to learn as I can at least fix shit when it goes wrong in Dreamweaver. And it's better than FrontPage... then again so's dog shit

So I've changed my mind and instead to recommend that you open up notepad and do everything in that. Course I could just delete this post since it's now pointless but I've done all this typing sooooo...
