Um.. Erica, you havent' used the design function in Studio have you? It
does things to your code that make Frontpage look almost user friendly.
Allaire have recognised this themselves, which is why they put the button
in the preferences to turn this function off and remove the tab.
If you haven't done so already, I suggest you get rid of the design
function before you're tempted to try it. Murphy's law says that when you
do try it out, it'll be on a file that's important and your backup is
corrupted.
I reckon Allaire should have either removed the functionality or fixed it.
