Hello,

I have been assigned to implement Sharepoing portal for my company. I am
really new at this thus do not have much experience. I am trying to find out
how I can change the design of the page. When I try to edit the default
Sharepoint Portal page, I get top, middle right, middle left, and bottom
zones. How can I add a column? Can anyone help me? I need all the information
I can get. Thank you.

Hi,

"How can I add a column"
From my understanding, are you going to add one table to the Sharepoint
page? if my understanding is not accurate, please feel free to correct me.

For adding the table and column into the page, we have two ways:
1. modify the page directly. In Frontpage 2003, this is just like editting
the normal web page. You can add html element and change them very freely.
After the modification, just save the page; everything will be persisted
into portal database.
2. We could develop the web part to display the web UI. Web part is
essentially the ASP.net server-side control working with Sharepoint. We
could place the web part into the zone, which is the zone "top, middle
right, middle left" etc at the default page. We could see it as the web
part container to place the web parts.

For more information on the page customization of Sharepoint, I'd suggest
this msdn article will be very helpful for you:

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further question on this
matter.

To add another column to the page, you will need to open up the file that
lives on the web server in Notepad or the like. From there you will see a
table and zone code. You can alter the table structure to add another
column, and copy/paste the zone code to create another web part zone on the
page. If you do that be sure to update the properties in the zone code to
make it a unique.

Customization is a broad topic, you can post specific questions to the
groups, and/or check out available resources. I have several here:
