As a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) HTML editor, FrontPage gives the user a format to add content and format in the foreground, while the software handles the HTML code in the background. As a result, anyone learning how to use Microsoft FrontPage can do so without knowing HTML code.

Information about Microsoft Office products can be found on several websites, including self-paced training courses for FrontPage. Online courses are numerous and include such topics as "Create a Web site with FrontPage", "Hyperlinks I: The basics" and "Work with graphics in FrontPage". The courses range from 20 to 50 minutes in length and have been rated by users. Each course lists its objectives and requirements, and many offer audio content as well.

For those who can't afford or simply prefer not to sit in a classroom, learning how to use Microsoft Front Page can be achieved through online tutorial programs. Many web sites, like LearnFrontPageNow.com, offer instruction on FrontPage. The user can order books with step-by-step instructions, or detailed courses on CD and on DVD, which include reference material along with the training. Some of these sites require substantial payment while others demand only payment of shipping or are completely free.

For those users who'd rather jump right in, several websites also provide a couple of hands on methods of learning how to use Microsoft FrontPage. A user can download a 60 day free trial version of the Microsoft Office suite which can later be converted to a licensed version, or can run an online test drive of all of the suite's products. The online test drive requires neither a download nor a product installation.

If the user prefers a study-by-doing method of learning how to use Microsoft FrontPage, then online test drives and downloadable trial versions are available on a variety of websites. These options allow the user to try FrontPage in real time, and to step through the process at home for a couple of months. Usually these are the most recent version of the software package and can be converted to a licensed version if desired.

If more personal interaction is preferred, many colleges and universities include classes of Microsoft Office application within their computer and technology curricula. Adult education programs, community colleges and technical academies offer courses and workshops on FrontPage, too. Computer training companies often provide in-depth all day workshops. Like the tutorials and classes offered on CD, these in-person courses vary in length and in cost.

Lastly, for those who want to jump right into learning how to use Microsoft FrontPage, several websites provides online test drives of the products from Microsoft Office suite. Or, if more "play" time is preferred, 60 day downloadable trial versions are available as well.
