As an alternative approach for including cleaner versions of your MS W docs see

| you're smack on the money there - it's just a shame that FP cant intepret
| this as you obviously have and create the appropriate html (i figured that's
| what it was for and nothing else
) - if i do any more in html manually i
| might aswell bypass FP all together and write it in notepad
)
|
| i'm converting a hoard of MS Word docs into html (tryna get them online for
| the 5th) - i found that saving the docs as html (or straight copy/paste to
| FP) created a enormous mass of overhead, and watermarks, headers, etc got
| misinterpreted - so i opted to copy docs to notepad (strip out any format)
| then paste the plain text into fp and just apply rudimentary format with
| view to creating css sheets later (when i have time to learn how to do
| them), but i'm finding even this fundimental formatting a chore in FP
(
|
| i'm just going to wing it for now to try get the stuff online - thanx very
| much
