OK, I'm the resident MS-lover and let me be the first to say: FrontPAge
$ucks. In fairness I've heard decent things about the newest (Office
2003) version, but I think your friend would be better served with
another tool.

I use a combination of HomeSite (Macromedia) and VisualStudio.NET.
Macromedia's Studio MX also get's rave reviews. 

However, what does your friend want to learn? If he has _no_ HTML
experience something like notepad  and a xxx for dummies book might be
the best thing for him. Trying to learn web development/HTML by using
any of the designer tools is like trying to learn RPG by using Lansa or
Synon. 

Remind him too, Word outputs HTML is he's looking to create a simple web
page.
