FP98: Shared Borders and Theme Lost When Importing Page
This article was previously published under Q187820
When you import a page from another Web, that page loses its shared
borders and the theme that has been applied to the original Web. Even if a
theme or a shared border has been applied to the Web, the page assumes the
theme and borders of the Web into which it has been imported.
This behavior occurs because this setting is stored in the Web not in the
individual page. So, when the page is imported, none of the settings are
carried over.
To work around this behavior, reapply the settings to the imported page
after you import it into the new Web. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the page in FrontPage Editor.
- On the Format menu, click Themes.
- Click Use Selected Theme.
- Apply the theme you want.
After you have applied the theme, you will also need to restore your shared borders.
To restore shared borders:
- Open the _borders directory of the original Web.
- Select all files in the _borders directory. Right-click on the files and select Copy from the menu.
- Open the _borders directory of the new Web.
- Right-click inside the _borders directory of the new Web and select Paste from the menu. If you receive a message asking if you want to overwrite existing files, say yes.
- In FrontPage Editor, open a page in the new Web that should contain shared borders.
- Reapply shared borders by selecting Shared Borders from the Tools menu in FrontPage Editor.
For additional information about using shared borders, please see the following article(s) in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
