My web is created with FrontPage and I have several links pages (pages
with many, many external links). I want them all to open in new
windows, so I configured the page default to target each link in a new
window. No problem there. The problem is that my shared border links
(both top and left shared borders) ALSO open in new windows. How can I
correct this without changing the default back to same window and
individually setting up only every single external link (there are
very many!)?

Did you see my comment and tried with target attributes?

Hi jude1!!

I think that I found the solution for you, but because I am not a
FrontPage Guru and also have no access to your page I am not sure
about if this works. I post this as a comment, if you find that this
works fine in your page please let me know and I will post it as an
answer:

You must add a TARGET attribute to the links in the shared borders.
This TARGET attribute must be:
target="_self"

Insert target="_self" into your <a href="x"> tag which will open the
link in the same browser window:
<a href="link" target="_self">

See for reference the following pages:
"FrontPage Tips: Open a New Window with HTML"; at this page you will
see a list of TARGET attributes:
"target="_blank" Opens the linked page in a new window. 
target="_self" Opens the linked page in the same window. This is the
default for ordinary pages and doesn't need to be specified. It has a
use when working with frames.
target="_parent" Opens the linked page in the parent frame in a frames
page.
target="_top" Opens the linked page in a full (i.e. top level) window
when used in frames pages. This one is useful for letting a linked
page 'break out' of a frame. ":

I hope this helps you and I will wait for your response, please give a
feedback if this doesn´t work also in order to continue the research.
