Using MS Word text in Dynamic Web Template

[Guest]

I want to be able to edit MS Word documents and have them update
automatically in Frontpage. I have an ebook in Word and I want each chapter
to be a separate page in the web site. I need to keep the Word ebook in one
file for indexing and table of contents purposes.

I've tried object linking (OLE), but it only copies the chapter. I am using
dynamic web templates and I want the chapter to go in the editable text
region. When I try to put the object link there, the copied text does not
update automatically when I edit it in Word. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

If there is another way to do this I'd sure appreciate hearing any ideas.

Not possible to have the FP site get updates automatically from the Word doc and update individual pages from sections of the Word
doc
- the only way would be to use the Word VBE editor (w/ hand coded VBA) to open FP and take named areas of the Word doc to update
defined html ids / pages in the FP site

Though I've never tried it myself, there might be a way to do it per page,
although it would be a coding nightmare. The javascript:toggleVisible()
onclick scripting will hide pieces of text and code until you either click on
the part that opens it, or link to its <a name>. How would that work for
you? Like this:

Separate your chapters into pages on the website, with the Next button at
the bottom of each "page". Then create a different toggleVisible() for each
page, linking the Next button to the next page's <a href> with the name of
the toggleVisible for the next page.

In simpler terms, hide a page with toggleVisible() and link the next button
to the next page's toggleVisible(), making sure that the page refreshes
before it goes there.

Yes, it's extremely messy, and I don't have proof that it will work, but
from what I've used with the toggleVisible(), which is a lot, it should work
in theory.
