That's the only reason I looked at it. Microsoft have stated that FP2003 is
the last version of FrontPage. Their next (new?) product is Expression.
The beta version (which I've only used for a day or two) is free and does
everything I want from FrontPage - but I've always stayed away from
FrontPage's styles and themes because I know it can lead to some real bloat.
Its certainly an improvement over FrontPage 2000.
I'm not sure I want to get too attached to Expression, because I don't know
whether the beta will stop working at any point and I'm not sure if my
budget would stretch to buying it just yet.

I don't think there are any quick shortcuts here.
Jojo's post is spot on. It takes a bit of time, but its worth learning about
CSS (and div's) yourself.. Sorry.
