To insert a Likno Web Button Maker button or family of buttons in a web page from within FrontPage, you have to have defined and opened a website first, as well as the web page where you would like your button to be inserted into. With your web page open, click on the point where you would like your button(s) to be inserted and select "Insert button..." from the WebButtonMaker menu (which will normally be somewhere to the right of the Help menu). You will see this dialog:

Select "New project" to launch Likno Web Button Maker and work with a new project, or select "Existing project" to work with a project you have already saved.

This menu item will only appear if you have launched Likno Web Button Maker from within FrontPage. Once you're done with your project, click on this menu item to export your button(s) to FrontPage.

If your project contains a button family and you choose to export the entire button family, upon closing the export dialog you will be able to select which individual buttons from this family you would like to export to FrontPage:

Once you click on OK, you will get a confirmation dialog and you will return to FrontPage, where you will see your button(s) inserted into your web page.
The add-in added a copy of your Likno Web Button Maker project file in your web site root folder for easy access, created a folder "lwbm" under your "images" folder, placed your button images there, added the necessary HTML code for the images in the document and added a small HTML comment just after the <body> tag, which is necessary if you would like to edit your button(s) in the future (note: if you remove this html comment you will not be able to edit your buttons using the add-in).
