You should not be using 3rd party tools (like WordPad) w/ FP web site pages
- they will corrupt the FP site
Use Code/Html View in FP, or if you really like WP, assign it as an editor in FP (Tools Options Configure Editors) and Do Not use
any FP design time elements (like themes, shared borders, nav bars, etc)
