Drawing shapes with attached text print incompletely
A drawing shape with text attached to it may not print completely from a computer running Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95; only a portion of the shape prints successfully. For example, if you attempt to print an oval shape with text attached to it, it's possible that only the top arch of the oval will print.

Auto-formatted table won't render properly in Preview pane
When embedding a page that contains an auto-formatted table on another page by using the Insert Web Component > Included Content > Page command, the table won't display properly in the Preview pane (for example, the colors will be wrong). The table will, however, display correctly in the browser.

If you are enabling support for the Indic languages, it is recommended that you choose Indic in the Default version of Microsoft Office list in the Microsoft Office Language Settings (on the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Office Tools, and then click Microsoft Office Language Settings).
Microsoft FrontPage requires Microsoft Windows 2000 or later for Indic language support. Devanagari and Tamil scripts are fully supported with Windows 2000.

Help topic: About digital dashboard and Web Parts
This topic incorrectly states that you can create a digital dashboard from Microsoft Outlook or from the Add Network Place Wizard. You cannot create a digital dashboard from either Outlook or the Add Network Place Wizard. If you have Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001, you can create a personal dashboard on that server by clicking the Create a new personal dashboard link on the server's dashboard site home page, and then following instructions. For more information on how to create a digital dashboard, download the Digital Dashboard Resource Kit (DDRK), which is available on the Microsoft Digital Dashboard Web site at:

Help topic: Tips for finding clips
This topic contains an inaccurate example. The search "blue, car" would actually yield results for blue AND car for local scopes, and would yield results for blue only for the Web Collections scope.
