SUMMARY
In Microsoft FrontPage, the page label (or title) of a Web page in Navigation view determines what text is displayed on the navigation bar and the page banner title.

This article explains how to display a page banner with text that is different from the text on the navigation bar.

A page banner is a component that usually appears at the top of each page in a Web site. It employs text or image elements to display the title of the page. The text that is displayed in the page banner is the same as the title of the Web page in Navigation view. This title also determines what text is displayed on the navigation bar button for that page.

For example, if the title of your Web page in Navigation view is &quot;My Travels,&quot; both the navigation bar button and the page banner text also display &quot;My Travels.&quot;

If you want to customize the page banner title to display text that is different from that of the page title and navigation bar text, you must first create the page banner in an imaging program, and then insert the page banner into your Web page in FrontPage. For example, use this method if you want to change your page banner title to &quot;My Travels in Europe and Asia,&quot; but you want the navigation bar to be displayed as &quot;My Travels.&quot;
