I have FrontPage 2003 (11.6552.8107) SP2. When I enter the Ampersand
HTML code for the copyright symbol (ampersand #169 semicolon) into the
Code view of FP, FrontPage automatically turns that into the copyright
symbol itself (rather than leaving it as the Ampersand HTML code),
with the result that some browsers display it as a question mark
rather than the copyright symbol. The alternative for me has been,
after designing and saving a page that includes that code, is reopen
the page in Notepad, and reinsert the Ampersand HTML code, and then
upload the page. So, my question is: Is there a way to instruct
FrontPage to leave the Ampersand HTML code as typed without converting
it? Thanks.

probably not the absolute best way but if you do:
insert/ web component/ advanced control/ HTML
and paste or type your code in there FrontPage will leave it alone.

Thank you. That worked. This morning, I came across another sort of
workaround, which is to use this code: ampersand copy semicolon (that
is, in place of #169, the word "copy"). That produces a copyright
symbol in the browsers I have (IE 6 & 7, Firefox 1.5, and Opera 8.5);
I don't know about other browsers. And, on saving the page, FP leaves
the code alone. BUT if you have FP reformat the page (at Code view,
right click and choose "Reformat HTML"), FP turns the code into the
symbol!

that's what I like about that method I showed you (that adds the html
mark-up web-bot); it's 100% immune to getting messed with by FrontPage.
Good luck with your site!

Chris
