how do I keep encoded hyperlink in properties window of FrontPage

I have a user community that uses FrontPage 2002 to create simple .htm files
with many hyperlinks. Some of the urls need to be encoded, example:
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.testsite.com.

Please tell me how to retain encoded urls via the Hyperlink Properties
window in FrontPage. Using the hyperlink properties window removes the
encoded characters.

Forgot to mention that the FP html code view is not an option. They do not
have html backgrounds.

Why do the link need to be encoded?

There is no setting to control this.

These particular links are passed from one application to another which is
why the encoding is needed.

Then you are going to have to teach them to insert them in HTML/Code view.

We were all upgraded to FP 2002. Problem did not exist in FP 2000. Teaching
them html/code view is probably not an option for these folks but we will
come up with something.....

Thanks for the quick response....

Insert Web Components Advanced Html
- they will need to type or paste the entire link tag as
<a href="http%3A%2F%2Fwww.testsite.com">test site</a>

FYI
encoding %3A%2F%2F is will prevent the link from being treated as a URL
See http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/html/topics/urlencoding.htm
