Power Point will create a folder in the same location as the saved presentation file that contains the files necessary for importing the presentation into you web.  If your presentation is named "presentation.ppt", then your folder for importing will be named "presentation_files"

Now that you have created the folder with the files that you need for importing your presentation into your web, you are ready to import this folder into your FrontPage web"

Open your web in FrontPage
Select IMPORT from the FILE menu (click image for larger view)

Highlight the folder you wish to import into your web and click the OPEN button at the bottom right of the Import Folder dialog box.
