This software (Sharepoint designer)is now a free download from MS. They also said that for people that had bought it they would give a free copy of Expression web but they never said how to get it.Anybody know how to get the Free expression web?

BTW Sharepoint designer can edit any kind of web page but only sharepoint designer edits Sharepoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enter into the strange world of Devign, February 19, 2009

With SharePoint Designer (SPD), you can enter into the murky world of Devigning - half-way between development and design (Heather Solomon coined this term and is a top-notch SharePoint designer). The ability to create custom workflow on a Sharepoint site is worth the cost of this product. The CSS/style interface is much better than Visual Studio. You can almost feel how this product evolved from Front Page, Visual Studio and Adobe Dreamweaver. I only wish that the Task Panes would automatically minimize "onMouseOut" (when you stop hovering over them).

Further, I have my complete ASP.NET-like tools such as Data Views, Grid Views, Detail Views, etc. So, I can easily build my pages exactly like an ASP.NET developer, then drag a SharePoint master page onto the screen. Voila! Some of the data connection wizards are a tad different than Visual Studio, but absolutely intuitive.

Change your SharePoint site's home page - just right-click on a page. Custom select CRUD pages for Lists and Libraries - one simple menu to fill out.

Finally, the UPGRADE is available if you currently own any Office suite.

Man! Does someone at Microsoft sit in a back room and find ways to torture us with packaging???? Took me 20 minutes to "break" into this box and then I had actually broken it so it doesn't stay closed.

In spite of the box, the software is good. The one FrontPage feature I miss in SharePoint Designer is shared borders. (They explain how you do it now...but I've been using the shared borders feature for years and I'm just tried of having to learn something new.)

I know a lot of people don't like these types of HTML programs because they put all kinds of "garage code" into whatever you're creating. But, for those of us who DO NOT know HTML, and like a WYSIWYG interface, I still think this is one of the best.
