I would like to create my own template, using Front Page. I know how to use the FP software, but I have no idea how to get the page into SMPro after I have created it.
Unfortunately we do not have support for the uploading of user-created templates, but what you can do is copy and paste the HTML from Front Page to the item description box in SMPro. The template you would use on AW would be the blank template. Make sure you preview your listing as well. I hope this helps!

I can help you out here. I use FP exclusively. Recently, I have created two templates (1 for UPS use and 1 for USPS)for use in Store Manager. Once you have a template saved, use it over and over again. Just change the file name. Once the template is saved, preferable using an item number for quickly finding it, I copy/paste into the window in Store Manager reserved for html files.
For what it's worth, I save all my images with the same item number (file name) as my html. I also make use of freight calculators that I buy from cgi-supply. The scripts work flawlessly and save bunches of time not have to respond to emails regarding freight charges.

I use Front Page also. I create how I want it to look and just paste the HTML into the item description box.
I use AW's Blank Centered template - this places one image at the top of my listing and any additional images below the listing.
I also use a Nav Bar to move the customer down the page to specifics such as condition, shipping, sales terms, etc.
I recommend setting any links to "Open In New Window" so your auction is still in an active window.
I'm always revising my auction's HTML page and trying to make it work great for the customer - currently I will be taking a lot of the "wordy" details of sales terms and putting them in a separate htm file accessible by clicking the link. Give them the option to look at it.
Also, I deleted the Front Page headers and created my own META TAGS with keywords in the HTML.
