Use the "Apply XML Formatting Rules" to automatically take an HTML page and reformat its HTML tags to make them XML-compliant. This is especially useful when you need your pages to interact with an XML-based publishing system because the rules governing the syntax of XML tags are stricter than those for HTML. A missing tag or incorrectly formatted attribute in an XML document renders the file useless.
When you select the Apply XML formatting rules option, Microsoft FrontPage® version 2002 searches the XML code for missing or incomplete tags and applies the correct tags.

To apply XML Formatting Rules to a Web page, open it in FrontPage 2002 and do the following:

1. In Page view, click the HTML button
2. In the HTML pane, right-click anywhere on the page.
3. Select Apply XML formatting rules.

Tip: If you apply XML formatting to a document formatted to exclude selected ending tags (for example, the </P> tag), those tags will likely be applied by this feature.

Sometimes you want to provide more information than there's room for in a table cell. Rather than typing what you want below or above the table, you can save yourself some space by creating a ScreenTip — information or instructions that will pop up when your users move their pointer over that cell.

For example, each table header cell below has a ScreenTip associated with it. To view the ScreenTips, move your pointer over the individual words in the cell:

Some other instances when adding a ScreenTip to a table might be helpful:

• You want to add brief information about each individual in a table you've created for a club membership list.
• In a table of stock quotes, you want to supply more information about each stock, such as its history, its volume, or its full name.
• You want to include directions about what you want your users to enter into that particular cell, column, or row (as in the example above).

To create a ScreenTip for a table cell in Microsoft FrontPage® 2002

1. In Page view, click the HTML button.
2. Locate your table on the page.
   Each cell has its own code that looks something like this:
   
   <td width="25%"></td>

   The information that goes in that cell is added between the two tags.

3. To add a ScreenTip to this cell, after
   
   <td

   type

   title="Your ScreenTip"
   
   
4. Replace "Your ScreenTip" (including the quotation marks) with the actual message or information you want to pop up.

   For example, in the table above, the first cell would look like this:
   
   <td title="Enter your first name only in this column." width="25%">Name</td>
