Yes, some of our pages are created from scratch using FP2002 and they are slow to load and when scrolling through the pages it is not smooth. Here is a link to a FP page.

Now, here is a page created with Word 2002 and saved as a filtered web page. It loads quicker and the scrolling is smooth.

Remember, we are not webpage gurus. Try not to chuckle with the page layouts, amount of graphics,etc. If it matters, we have noticed that if you mouse over a graphic in a page created with FP you do not get the popup bubble to save or print the graphic. In the filtered pages created in Word you can save, print, etc by mousing over the graphics. I do not know what the differences are that cause this.
Thanks

Are some of your web pages created from scratch using
Front Page 2002? I mean NO use of Microsoft Word. Do
these pages load slowly? Microsoft Word adds a bunch of
HTML code to pages it creates. If the Front Page created
pages perform well after doing the things mentioned
below, then you should accelerate your use of Front Page
with the objective of eliminating the use of Word
entirely.
Even though the instructions say you can create web pages
in Word, as a good web page program, Word is a good word
processor. By the way Front Page is not very good as a
word processor. You get my point. Use the right tool for
the job.
As others have said, graphics files are the usual culprit
for slow loading web pages. As a rule of thumb, you might
want to stipulate that the total file size of graphics on
a single web page not exceed some number, eg 60Kb.
Now you ask how do my users make the file sizes smaller?
If you are concerned about image quality, you would have
to use a graphics progam such as Photoshop Elements or
such. As your budget is probably severly reestricted, you
may have to use Front Page's photo resize feature and
take the hit on image quality. This could also be used as
a lesson ... life is a series of tradeoffs!
