fornt page freezes

[KJ]

I'm a Newbie to Front page 2002 that inherited my chorus
organization's webiset. I have built a current page in
WORD to add to website, which I have added with no
problem. The problem comes into play when I have gone back
to add additional details to the page and when I save it.
It WILL save, but the page then freezes on me and I am
unable to shut down without using Cntl-ALT-delete method.
I have been researching why this is a problem lately, as
I've not had this issue beofre with SAVING and being able
to navigate the website?? And I came across a forum that
said if I copied WORD into the website, then this adds
extra coding or something? and then, not able to save??
I thought the kewl thing about Front Page is that you
could use OTHER MS based programs to add info to websites?
Please help with SAVING info without the whole site
freezing.

thanks for your help

Word adds a lot of junk to html code. The best way is to highlight and Copy from Word, Paste into Notepad (which will strip formatting) then Copy from Notepad and Paste into FP.

You can also Drag & Drop the Word file into your design in FP, which works ok...but I think you'll still have a little cleaning up to do.

Not sure why your locking up, there may be something embedded in your Word file that FP doesn't like.

Can you post the URL to the website?

KJ -

Make your life simple. Do not use Word to create web pages. Do not use
Front Page as a word processor. The right tool for the right job, and
all that.

Could be the way you are working with it on Apache server without FP extensions. For starters use only lower case and NO spaces in file names...so rename that page lead_school.htm instead of what you've got there.

OK..renamed them. Now..about those FP extensions..is that
something "I" do to add? or should I leave well enough
alone??

Depends on your hosting package and your host...some *nix/Apache hosts have a control panel that will allow you to add/remove the extensions. But, first you need to check with your host to see if your package includes FP extensions.

They make your life easier in the long run - as long as you don't break them by using ftp to upload your webs.
