Hyperlinks have new style in FP2003

Until a few days ago with FrontPage 2000 I would cut and paste text that
included hyperlinks from Microsoft Word XP and they would come over without
any change.

For example:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>

Now after installing FrontPage 2003 I get:

<a style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; color: blue; text-decoration:
underline; text-underline: single"
href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>

The style segment is the new feature.

How do I turn this off?
 
FP 2003 does not add the style unless you selected the hyperlink style option

Ew, that's disgusing. I have a long-standing request for
an option that makes plain-text Paste the default, and
here's another reason.

To eliminate most of the extra formatting:

1. Open the Paste Options menu (the clipboard dohickey)
that appears immediately after you paste.
2. Choose Use Destination Styles.

This gets rid of everything but class="MsoNormal".

This is indeed the answer.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful reply.

Any way to make this the default paste action?

Thanks again.

Thanks Stephen,

I didn't specify a hyperlink style option (in Word or FrontPage). Hyperlink
styles are automatically defined in Word. The style for the paragraph
containing the hyperlinks is a user defined style (by me) in both Word and
FrontPage. The styles transfer across just fine from Word to FrontPage
except for this new feature of the hyperlinks - see below.

Oops,

It turns out that that doesn't work.

The hyperlink syle designation, see below, came through even when I chose
Use Destiniation Styles.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.

You didn't mention you were pasting from Word
IMHO
Never paste from Word, always paste to / from notepad , or import the .doc file and see

Actually I did mention that. :-)

But then there are a lot of posts to read here.

I've been doing this for years (1,300 issues of the Oz Report), and the only
problem that I've run into recently is this issue of FrontPage 2003 adding
the style statement to the hyperlinked text.

I'm quite familiar with the issues re coordinating styles in Word and
FrontPage, and this one is just a new one.
