If you use layout customization view to make changes to a page, you must use Microsoft FrontPage to make any further customizations to the page.

You must open a list form in live data view to change the properties of the form.

Note  Changing from layout customization view to live data view resets the layout of the form to the default layout and formatting.

Verify that you are opening the Web site on a Web server that is running SharePoint Team Services v1.0.

The template must be in the active Web site. Do the following:

1. On the File menu, click Import, and then click Add file.
2. Locate and click the template file, and then click Open.
3. Click OK.
4. In Folders View, right-click the document library folder, and click Properties.
5. On the Settings tab, select the Use a template for new documents check box, and then click Browse to find the file you imported in step 1.

To turn WebView (WebView: One of the views available in Open and Save dialog boxes. Displays a Web page with hyperlinks for opening and saving files in document libraries.) off for all the document libraries in your Web site, do the following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Site Settings.
2. On the Advanced tab, clear the Display a web page view of available document libraries to Office users who open from or save to the web check box.

Some services on the Web server may need to be enabled. If you create a rule that involves keeping track of time or sending e-mail (for example, set documents to expire after six months, and send e-mail notification to the creator of the document one week prior to expiration), the Web server that stores your Web site must have the following services enabled:

• SharePoint Team Services v1.0 timer service
• SMTP mail service

Contact your Internet service provider (ISP: A business that provides access to the Internet for such things as electronic mail, chat rooms, or use of the World Wide Web. Some ISPs are multinational, offering access in many locations, while others are limited to a specific region.) (ISP) or Web server administrator to ensure that these services are running properly.

You may need to refresh the page or property for the change to take effect.

• Press F5, or click OK in the active dialog box and then reopen the dialog box to see the changes.

The default view may have been deleted. Do one of the following:

The name of the list, document library, or survey may include characters that cannot be used in URLs (Uniform Resource Locator (URL): An address that specifies a protocol (such as HTTP or FTP) and a location of an object, document, World Wide Web page, or other destination on the Internet or an intranet, for example: http://www.microsoft.com/.). If the name includes a character that cannot be used in a URL, FrontPage substitutes a new name for the list folder, document library folder, or survey folder. The name change affects the folder only. The name displayed on Web pages and link bars is the name that includes the non-URL characters.

There might be more than one list form (list form: A set of data-entry fields on a page that are processed on a Web server that is running Windows SharePoint Services. List forms enable users to add, modify, and remove items in lists, document libraries, and surveys.) on the page. A Web page can have only one form for a list, document library, or survey. Create a separate page for each form.

Someone may have edited the field using a Web browser. If a Multiple lines of text field is edited in a Web browser (for example, changing the name of the field or changing how many lines of text the field can hold), the default value is deleted. Reenter the default value by making changes to the field in Microsoft FrontPage.

If you apply a theme to selected pages in your Web site by using FrontPage, the theme for those pages will not be updated later if you try to apply another theme by using the Web browser. The Apply theme to site option, on the Site Settings page in a Windows SharePoint Services site, only applies themes to pages that have not had themes applied by using FrontPage.

The document library rules feature is available only on servers running SharePoint Team Services v1.0 from Microsoft. If your site has been upgraded to Windows SharePoint Services, you will be unable to run document library rules.

If you use Microsoft FrontPage to make certain changes to a Web page based on Windows SharePoint Services, you might be unable to make further customizations to the page by using a Web browser.

For example, if you move a Web Part on default.aspx outside a Web Part Zone by using FrontPage, you will not be able to move that Web Part again by using the Modify My Page option in the browser. You must use FrontPage instead.

You can turn WebView (WebView: One of the views available in Open and Save dialog boxes. Displays a Web page with hyperlinks for opening and saving files in document libraries.) off for all the document libraries in your Web site. Do the following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Site Settings.
2. On the Advanced tab, clear the Display a web page view of available document libraries to Office users who open from or save to the web check box.
