YES...get outta Werd...it's messy.
Shouldn't take ya but a few minutes to redo that in FP.
| The ExpectMagic page is the MS Word-as-HTML page. I didn't think about
the
| capitals there, because they all pointed to internal Word bookmarks
| contained on that page (except for the "Home" links). I didn't think of
| that page being treated differently once published to the web.
|
| Well, at least I'm back down to my original issue, which I now may know
how
| to fix. I may just have to re-do that page in FP and get out of Word
| altogether. (I used Word because it was a major text page, and while Word
| is not a web page program, it is a text program - much more so than FP.)
|
| Thanks for all your help.
