Hi,
You should be able to import individual html files, but I don't see any listing for complete web site project files.

Hi
Frontpage is obsolete - the last version was released over 10 years ago.
George is correct in that you should be able to transfer the files, however any website created in Frontpage is likely to perform badly in modern browsers, also if you have made use of Frontpage extensions then you are going to run into server problems - most hosting providers no longer provide support for Frontpage extensions.
I would recommend upgrading tthe web site to the latest HTML standards or a complete rebuild using software such as Magix Web Designer 9 to ensure future compatibility with modern browsers . I have trialled this software and found it very good.

Thank you. I have the Magix Web designer. My problem is transfering files from Frontpage to Magix. I am not having success transferring any of the files. I must be missing an eaasy way to do this, but I don't see it.

I do not think you will be able to do this successfully. The HTML created by Frontapge is old standard with many deprecated tags and bespoke Microsoft tags if you used Extensions, and is probably not compatible with Web Designer - or any modern web site creation software - hence the reason I suggested a complete rebuild.
