Yes, you can open a FP2002 web in Expression, and yes there's a learning
curve. A little HTML and CSS knowledge would be a big advantage.
Most of the FP features have been removed - EW is not just another version
of FP, it is a completely re-built product. Most of the "web-bot"
functionality as you've come to know it in FP is not in EW. It does have
some backwards capability, eg. can publish using the FP extensions, and the
FP forms still work (as do the other web-bot type features) but you can't
easily add new web-bot featres. Also, things like photo gallery and the
navigation components are gone as are the drawing (VML) tools.
So....really it is a whole new product, but as far as using it is concerned
I'm sure you shouldn't really have much trouble. You can always ask this
group for further assistance.
