	Nice one and good luck.

	You have just spoken one of the worst word known to man in the web design industry and that is frontPage.
	If you are planning to go anywhere with improving your skills in web design and coding I would suggest you either start with a text editor or some a better product that does wysiwyg without being made by Microsoft. 

I tend to use a text editor for my web design and as a result the code is a lot better then that produced by a wysiwyg editor.

Any images will copy from windows to Linux and back again without a problem normally.
